    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 purchased the France VFR Corsica Airports Pack using the Orbx app this week.
While I was doing a little tour of the airports using the Microsoft PA-28 Dakota I noticed a little dark bug crawling across the sky at LFKC

Well, as it turns out it was a helicopter flying a circuit near the airport and it had animated rotors!

I use FSLTS by FlyByWire Simulations and I didn't know that helicopters were incorporated into that program.

IDK, it could have been an "Easter Egg" placed at the airport by the scenery developers.

Cool.

I thought I'd give this Cessna 404 Titian a few hours on the Hobbs meter. I've never flown it in MSFS 2024.
I was flying into (KDAL) Dallas Love Field by IBLUEYONDER.

Yesterday the approach was into 31R:

Today was approaching 13R:

Below it seems that the attitude indicator / artificial horizon is a little bit wonky? Am I reading it right? (I'm not a real-world pilot).
The bug splatters are a little overdone just like the Piper 28 Dakota's IMHO.

I also saw reverse animation on the nose up/ nose down trim wheel.


However, I do like the prop disc animation. I wish they could apply it to the old King Air 350!

I'd give her an honorable mention in the beauty contest.

Last set of this bird from me.

KBHM (Fly2High) to KPHL (MKStudios which, btw, is one of 60+ MSFS 2020 airports that I copied directly into MSFS 2024 with no problems).
Single screenshots just do not capture the beauty of MSFS 2024 in motion!

Climbing out on an early morning little commuter flight.

It was after the above screenshot that I that I had some errands to do and by the time I got back, she was out of fuel and on the ground. I repeated the flight this evening.
