    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.

Ordered a Helo collective control

I have been flying helos more and more in MSFS, and once Miltech releases their CH-47, I know I'll be spending considerable time with that. I had looked at Collective controls made by a couple companies, I. E. Virpil, Komodo, but I can't afford their prices. I found a company called Simulation Devices (SimulationDevices.com) and bought one from them. Not inexpensive either, but less than the above-mentioned brands. NC

Very nice!
I also seem to be spending more time in Helicopters since they became available in MSFS and I have wondered if it's the use of VR that makes them so much more usable than in previous sims.

I know that is definitely true for me! It is so unbelievably real to fly in and around cities, beautiful countryside, and oftentimes just hover and appreciate the incredibly detailed scenery! NC
 
Is there a collective available in MSFS to be mapped? I use Virpil collective in DCS but FSX and P3D do not have that option available and I thought MSFS would be the same.
 
I've had the simcontroller for years and it has been working great. I got the version without the seat and attached the controller to my own seat.
