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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

Hi Falcon. I still have my Alphasim version. Took it for a spin around L20A from the Vietnam War Project just today.

I already asked if it could be ported to FSX/P3D 
That would be a blast!

Yep, and if I read correctly, the modeler is building multiple versions of it and has some first hand references for the work. I have in recent years found a number of models in build on pages like this that ended up stalling while in development or disappearing altogether but hopefully this model will come to fruition down the road.

I found a shot of the VC WIP as well as a different model 3D render. Nice!
Wow a C-123 !!!! Mike
Yes, someone had a very promising C-123K project going a few years ago that stalled.
What makes me a bit sceptic about these current projects here is that they are for DCS. Porting them to FSX would mean a lot of gauge and other programming work for porting them to FSX/P3D.
Cheers,

I would think that a Caribou (or C-123) would be better suited in FSX/P3D rather than DCS. Reason being that they are unarmed and unable to fight back in a combat sim environment. I simply can't see such a model making a dent in the DCS market for that reason. I could be wrong but I know I wouldn't bother with it in DCS. It will be a while before it's finished and a lot could change between now & then.

DCS needs to get going on some 70's-80's era USN jets and carriers....

I agree. They are slowly getting new models into the mix but hopefully more will be finished soon. I am planning on getting the F-5E when it comes out next month.
Wow, that is great!!

I am chomping at the bit for a DHC-4 Caribou for P3d!!!
I wonder where Kieran is getting his data and referances from? If in Oz HARS would be the best.
I really hope she is perfect?
I grew up around these aircraft and my father has 2500hrs logged flying them. She is truly an amazing aircraft!
Thank you Kieran for taking on this project.

I'm sure our australian friends will also love a new Caribou! There is some amazing footage from OZ on youtube about this agile aircraft:
Can't wait to put it down on some barren Laos outpost airstrip!

It realy seems that P3D is going to be the way to go if I want to keep up with releases, but it worries me a bit on how fractured everything is becoming, FSX normal, FSX steam, P3D and XPlane and the new dovetail? one that is in trainer form but going to be released full down the track if I remember correctly.. but whatever.. that still is a nice looking model
