  • 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.

Screenshots

Taking the Duxford-based PBY over to Old Warden today. I'm still holding out hope/crossing my fingers that an accurate and high fidelity recreation of Old Warden is made for MSFS one of these days.













 
I also took some screenshots while doing some "re-currency" in the C-45 out of Booker. After about a year eyeing them, I recently bought the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo yoke/engine controls, and it definitely makes for a different experience. I find myself having to re-learn these sim aircraft.

This is one of my favorite repaints for the Carenado model, done by one of my repaint idols, Marty Féron. Sadly the real aircraft was destroyed in an engine failure-induced forced landing and post-impact fire a couple years ago, on the island of Corsica, but fortunately its three occupants survived.













A bit of a Beech bias here (I happened to have my traffic settings set to low variation).

 
It was surprising to say the least. I've never seen icing that bad. Couldn't see a thing. Fortunately it mostly melted off during the decent to land.

Here are some screenshots from a flight inspired by some recent photos from a trip that The Fighter Collection's Spitfire Mk.V made to Mollis, Switzerland. The beauty of Switzerland almost looks surreal in the real-world photos I've seen, and this comes across well even in MSFS. We don't yet have a Mk.V in MSFS, but thanks to Flight Replicas we will have a superb example very soon. In lieu of a Mk.V, I used the FlyingIron Mk.IX.















It was a neat coincidence to see this guy sitting on the ramp when I returned to Mollis, the ex-TFC Hellcat (a Jankees repaint applied to the FlyingIron F6F).

John, your shots took me back a while, when my daughter Catalina (what's in a name) and myself managed to
obtain seats on the penultimate flight of PH-PBY before it went to the US. Excellent memories, too bad she left.

Hi,

First, thanks you for yours screens : beautiful !

Then as for the last photo or you pose with your daughter, it makes me very happy because I had to see on the Web and recovered these photos that are in my documentation of Canso for some time already. I didn’t know it was you :jump: Now I can put a face on your speedo :encouragement:

Currently "the Canso is in the hangar", while I finish a job for Paul ... :santahat:
 
best news I've seen in weeks to learn you are working with GAS to bring their works to MSFS.
Thank you, lagaffe, for your efforts in all regards.
 
With MSFS 2024 I hope that those Mollis rockface textures will be transformed to look a lot more like the real thing !!!
 
No missing those in the sky!
Nice work, you do recall there's one more NZ Harvard (#92) not yet done, don't you :)
