    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.

Happy Easter Simmer's,

Curious, why do I keep bumping into this negative vibe in various forums when it comes to dealing with M/S Market Place ? At the present time most of my A/C have been purchased via this store with no concerns ?? What am I'm missing ? .... just saying :)

Regards
 
The files from the marketplace are encrypted, thus difficult to mod by the user, plus they are usually slow when it comes to making available updates and new versions.
 
Slow updates, & no visible weapons for military aircraft are the main reasons I don't use the MP for aircraft. Doesn't matter so much for scenery.
 
Slow updates (always coming several weeks later than the other stores) and encrypted files are the biggest issues.
When it comes to visible weapons, at least some of the addon makers provide some patches to make them visible again. Deimo's is a good example. His planes are only sold on the marketplace, but on flightsim.to you can download some "weapon update" to make the weapons visible.
 
I like to help third-party developers and third-party distributors. Let's support the competition. Everybody benefits. I have purchased a few Carenado products from the Marketplace and some sceneries. But that is all.

Never had any problems with those. Then again, I think I only own about 6 MP releases.

As for the FR Spitfire Mk.V, I'm waiting to see pictures if there are clipped wings versions included in the pack.

Appreciate the feed back,

Have to admit I've been waiting patiently for the Pilots latest update for the Dash 7 to appear but nothing so far, believe Pilots released the latest patch 1.50 sometime ago.

There are two clipped wing examples included with the desert/tropical variant product, and there are three clipped wing examples included with the standard variant product.

Does this model have a real free castoring tailwheel? The MkI has not as the wheel moves together with rudder and it shouldn't. When I found out I never used it again.
