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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

On the Cub those appear to be 24" Goodyears, which is what I run on my Cub, but those are considered tiny in the cub world. However the Alaska Bush Wheels have a couple of issues, the rubber degrades badly in the sun and taxiing on pavement wears them quickly. The goodyears seem to last forever by comparison. The Bush Wheels have the advantage that they do not use a tube but have the air valve right in the side of the tire and cannot shear off the valve stem on the tube. Can't go tubeless due to the split rims.

Forgive me the stupid question guys, but I don't use MSFS:
Are all the rocks or objects you can collide with solid or can you drive through it?

Yes, the rocks are solid objects. Small rocks, you can hop right over, with ease, while the bigger rocks/boulders can cause you more issues - if you don't have enough momentum, they'll stop you dead in your tracks. Vegetation, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any physical impact/interaction with the aircraft (at least with crashes turned off). I had to use a good amount of power and some momentum to get over this rock. At least with crashes turned off, there is no consequences of running the prop into the rocks.
Another neat feature in MSFS 2024, of some of the aircraft like the XCub, is that the tires actually squat/bulge with weight applied to them - especially fun to watch as the aircraft bounces, and you see the bottom of the tires reacting accordingly.
