    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.

Well I have been lucky enough to be given a preview of Nigel's Avro Tutor and variants. These are the Fs9 models in FsX Dx10, but Nigel is working on FsX native versions. They are beautiful...







 
I was also fortunate to be able to test fly these in FS9 , absolutely magnificent models and sounds. :applause: :applause:

Pete.
 
Seriously gorgeous and mouthwatering !! :applause:

Thanks for the HU, Roger ! And the FS9 link, Seahawk !

Re FSX ( aka P3Dv4..;-) will the Bounty scenery be available too ?

Truly made my day news ! :encouragement:

cheers,

Faith Restored

I was beginning to get a bit jaded with FSX freeware vintage aircraft but my faith has been restored on seeing this. Now I'm actually looking forward to something. Bravo, she's puurrdy:applause:
 
Initial Testing

Many thanks, Roger - really awesome screenshots too. :)

Many thanks to old friends and new, for much appreciated support for what is now the culmination of 2 years' work.

A team of good folk are now busy with initial testing of the 4 main models: AVRO 621 (Mongoose engine), AVRO 621 Tutor (Armstrong Siddeley Lynx), AVRO 626 Prefect (Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah), and AVRO - PWS-18 (Wright J-5).

As soon as we iron out issues here, we'll do the same with the float variants, then hopefully move on to proper beta testing.

I must pay very special thanks to Milton Shupe, for going way beyond the kindness of a dear Friend and investing what must have been many hours of coaxing me over the initial hurdles.

And thanks, Pete Ham - that very special type of Real World biplane Friend, who is always ready with coffee and spiritual sustenance when you need it most.
