  • 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.

    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.

P3D/P4D screenshots redux...oops!

That's where we're headed, a nice day for a change, so a long let down over the water has us nicely positioned for a left downwind... no DME arc today!

The DC-6 in the Orbx World- a combination that's hard to beat most days, and twice on Sundays (btw, it IS Sunday) ;)

Hey, it's a FLY SHOP.... wonder if Lefty's stopped in there, or perhaps it's another kind of Fly Shop.... anyone know?

...cowls cracked to 5 just to be sure...

...airspeed building nicely, cowls back to 0 degrees (we will end up at -2, and maybe -4 for the descent), mixtures locked to Auto Lean, 34"/2100 and things are settling in for the run down the coast...

You either have to go to Alaska, or go to Orbx's Alaska to see this sort of thing... absolutely brilliant-

Every single time I come here, to Bowerman, I cannot but be grateful to Orbx. What a splendid creation, and for FREE. One of the few things in life where you get so much more than you paid for.
I hope to return soon in my beloved SP-AMN (please YoYo), but for now, SP-ASR will have to do. BTW, stay tuned, there's news to come about the Aerosoft An-2 update, hopefully soon. Still, she's one of a kind, and if you don't own her- you might treat yourself- she's GRAND.

Here's another bit of the world that I am particularly fond of in the An-2. Fly Tampa's St. Barts, Saba and St. Maarten never disappoint. At the end of the day, when only an hour remains, and I want to forget the salt mines with their dead Canarys, this is one of the places I go in the old girl. The scenery is breathtaking, the FDE superlative and the experience always washes the day's dust away... one day I will bring my SP-AMN back to this bit of heaven (on earth)...

The one place in the world I sit up very straight in the An-2's cockpit on approach... and still it's easy to make the turn off and avoid the back taxy... NO REVERSE NEEDED... try that in a Twotter ;)
