    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.

    1. 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.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. 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.

Another backport (among a couple of other bizjets) is now in the '20 Marketplace. But from what I can see, the only variant offered is the firefighter.

Edit: Other variants are also in the package. See screenshots below.

I've had it for over a month now. It has several variants I believe.

So, if you have it in MSFS 2020, what do you think of it? I've been considering adding it to my helicopter collection...
 
Yes it's in FS2020 and you change the loadout/configuration via an in cockpit EFB tablet which I love models that allow you to do that instead of having to reload a whole new model from the main menu. It comes with four liveries including the one seen here. In the firefighting configuration, it allows you to extend either one of the snorkels, the rigid one or the hose version and it appears that it contains a water drop effect that can be key bound. I really haven't explored it much yet.

It handles pretty poorly compared to other choppers like the Miltech UH-60 and freeware Bell 429. But here's my *, I'm not a big rotorcraft FS2020 person so I'm not the best judge of it. I would assume with a proper control setup and all the flying assistance settings turned on, it might be a lot more fun. I bought it, fired it up, flew it around via keyboard only for a while and haven't fired it up since. Guess I should fly it more often.
