    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.

Looks good but I hope they get the engine sound right. Will hold off buying on release until that's verified.

I understand that concern for people that have seen the plane in person or even worked with it, but for most people, just about any t-prop alias would be convincing enough.

What I'd be more concerned with is whether the engine startup models the direct drive prop that's on the real thing, or if it looks more like a PT6 with its free shaft configuration. FS9 only had the ability to model a free shaft, since all of the default t-props ran variations of the same PT6. The only time I ever saw a direct drive t-prop that looked right in that sim was the SamDim Tu-114. According to the cfg file, it was actually a jet with the performance numbers tweaked to mimic the performance of the prop shaft engines.
 
The cockpit images look vey impressive. Be great to have the 5-Bladed CDF version as an option too.
