  • 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.

Saab B17 released in Marketplace

Very nice! I'll admit to a weakness for (nearly) all things Swedish, so I'll go for it tomorrow
 
Yep, took it up for a quick spin around the new Iceland airport and it looks, sounds, and feels good. And only $10 for Premium Deluxe owners is a crazy good bargain.

Have a feeling I'll be spending some time in this one!
 
Who makes these videos ?...

He/she can make more or less obscure, unattractive aircraft look like a famous thoroughbred that every flightsimmer will want to have ! Heck, even that itchy bitchy sundayschool teacher looks good in this video!

Personally i have never givin the Saab B17 much attention (with gear down she looks like a stilt-walker ! ;) ) but having seen the video (more than once !) i'll glady fork out the 10 bucks to give it a spin. Maybe it'll become a favourite !

Much kudos to this video editor ! :applause:
 
I wish it had Beer barrels and kegs in the bomb bay lol. She's a keeper for me, a rare WW2 bird. Off course they could also put sacks a manure in the bay lol.

There are so many new aircraft coming through at the moment that I was considering passing on this one, but if you are going to pump out liveries like the one above then I may be be forced to relent.:jump:
It reminds me very much of a Harvard.
Will you be doing a few more liveries?

I have plans for the Austrian aircraft, and a Danish version for now...
 
Just took it out for a flight in Jankees yellow livery.
Had a look through the .cfg files to see if autopilot was there somewhere, but no luck so far.
Anyone figured out how to enable a rudimentary AP for this aircraft as it would make long journeys easier on my eyes not to have to hand fly for 2 hours?

The payware PMS50 GTN750 has an excellent AP built-in to it's menu bar pop-up window, BUT the aircraft itself needs to have an autopilot section in the systems.cfg and electrical power to it, also in the systems.cfg - impossible to access that with Marketplace aircraft, unfortunately.

I think it was in P3D, but quite a few aircraft that come out with no AP had coding in Sys.cfg or Panel, where you could change Autopilot=0 to Autopilot=1, or some other code tweak, and be able to run a basic AP after that.
Which was handy for long flights. I can't stare at a screen for 2 hrs, sand papers my eyeballs.

Couple of flights in the B 17A & enjoying it. Its quick & has a fascinating pilots cockpit area with all sorts of switches & controls tucked into unusual places. Still learning it, but a worthwhile purchase.
Waiting patiently for more Jankees magic in the livery Dept:adoration:
