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.
- 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.

Excellent! It looks great. However, IndiaFoxtEcho also has a catapult and tailhook/trap feature built into their F-35Cs, so, I guess whoever releases first can claim to be the first. 
Although Dino said they would share the code with other developers to add to their planes as well.

The latest I could find on the Got Gravel Discord was it is still on the horizon but they are still working on the sound files. This is one I have been eagerly anticipating as well! Might have been easier to model an FM-2? A few more flying examples compared to the F4F. Link to Discord comment

Having been in development for as long as it has, I really hope that it does come to fruition, and I've been really looking forward to it. I'll take any variant of the production variants of the Wildcat, but yeah, I've always thought it would be most reasonable to do an FM-2, since all but one of the Wildcats flying today are of that version. There is one F4F-3 flying (owned by Rod Lewis), but the rest of the world's 16 currently-active Wildcats are all FM-2's (two in the UK and the rest in the US - there was, briefly, one also flying in Germany, but which was substantially damaged). There are no flying examples of the F4F-4, the variant that Got Friends has chosen to recreate. Of course no matter the variant, they were/are all powered by P&W R-1830 engines, but of different models/dash numbers.
