    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.

I don't think this has been reported, but if it's a dup please let me know. I was poking around Flightsim.to and noticed it had a file on the site for a Vertigo aircraft. I went to that listing and it said file not available. The developer was GotFriends, so I went to the source site. Much to my surprise the Vertigo was listed as "Free". Never to pass up "Free" I put it in my cart. Went to checkout and had to create an account. Finished checkout and got an email with a D/L link for the Vertigo...FREE!

This is a fast, fun little airplane. Link below:

My only issue with this one, and the reason I never bought it, is that the flight model is for a PT6 powerplant, but the visual sure looks like a piston engine.
 
It’s been one of my favorite planes for years. Super fun to fly if you want to sightsee at a reasonably high speed, given the view, performance, and handling. Performance is based on Mike Patey‘s “Turbulence“ and the interior view and handling is right on for that aircraft.

The exterior visual is of a piston because it was built off the stock VL3. This was a very early aircraft mod for the sim, but got friends has kept it updated and it’s now FS 2024 compatible.
