Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

This one brings back memories for me. Fifteen and a half hours spread over two days. Forty years ago—March 1977. I was a brand new CFI but this came up as a chance to log some of those all important multi engine hours by flying from Keene, NH, to Janesville, WN, spend the night and return to Keene the next day. I got a 30 minute checkout and remember it gave little notice before dropping a wing in the stall. I then launched into the setting sun, 4.4 to Toledo for fuel and another 2 hours to Janesville. Back the next day.
I don’t remember many individual flights but remember this one because it was such a nice flying plane. Ailerons and elevator had an especially smooth and light feel. Never flew one again.
This is one is very good too. Flies like my ancient memory of how a Twin Comanche flew. Like the old style panel with its scattered flight instruments and the ability to put that fantastic new stuff like the GTN 750 next to it.
Cheers,
steve

PA30 Autopilot Update!
Upon popular demand, a new option is now available via the MVAMS utility to select an "Autopilot" option, which will place a KAP140 autopilot, a Bendix-King AI, and a Bendix-King in the virtual cockpit.
A new installer was made available late yesterday afternoon.

Yes the installer here at Blackbird Simulations is only for P3D... but you can trick it to install it anyway by creating a fake "P3D.exe" file in a temp folder... And with McX, a quick conversion to FSX works somewhat... but with missing gear and horrible FPS... And you have to discard the 64bits dll files... So it's not worth the trouble...
Too bad cause it looks nice! Maybe Milviz has the correct FSX installer hidden somewhere... Thanks anyway to Milviz for nice freebies! Most works just fine in FSX!
