  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

All of that interior detail work with prop disks that look like something out of FS9. Really? Pretty much killed it for me. No sale here.

I don't think that's the most important thing ;) but wait for the final version, its a WiP still as I know and new videos incoming so it will be possible to look closer. Notice too, that video isnt recorded with 60FPS but much less which only enhances this effect. Enignes have animation from different scripts, not Asobo which isnt a perfect too.

No, it's not the most important thing, but it is a high visibility element of the external view of any prop driven simulation. I realize that most folks fly cockpit only and don't even look at the exterior much. As for Asobo, their offerings are free or at a discount price point. Some of the prop disks on their seeplanes leave much to be desired.
 
I gotta say I'm looking forward to it, so far I'm really interested to see how we are going to control it, I love the idea of not having to hook up my HOTAS to fly it, and that maybe its a far more managerial, captain of the ship experience instead of "I have to be the one flying the plane"

Yes, here it's more like steering a ship, plus managing the crew. It seems that HOTAS is completely unnecessary. You should focus more on walking and clicking interactive elements.

Another interesting option is to speed up x2, which doubles the speed of the airship, it's fictional, but at least you can fly at higher speeds ;).
