    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 took a Piper Warrior from its home base at Biggin Hill down to Headcorn airfield earlier this evening. This replicates a real world scenario for me. When I was a kid I used to babysit for our next door neighbours. The father next door was a Canadian Air Force officer on TDY to London. In return for my babysitting he often took me along when he hired aircraft from the flying clubs at Biggin Hill. Headcorn was a 30 minute flight - perfect for a summer evening. Usually it was Cessna 152/172 but occasionally and memorably a Chipmunk! Magical times.

Just to add that the clarity and crispness of the instruments in this Just Flight model are stunning and show how well the 2020 product stands up still today.

I've updated my repaint of 'Moonbeam McSwine' for the MS/Asobo MSFS 2020 P-51D, bringing it up to the standard of my latest, 'Jersey Jerk': https://flightsim.to/file/40353/p-51d-mustang-moonbeam-mcswine-n51vl

Among the updates, I've revised the canopy rail and cockpit turtle deck textures (for use with Randall Snow's Improvement Mod), as well as made numerous adjustments to values in the albedo and comp textures, across the airframe, for more accurate visuals (metal and paint). I'll continue working through the rest of my Mustang repaints, giving them the same treatment.

Excellent stuff john. She's arrived at Biggin Hill now - they are "re-mantling" her after the sea container transit. Hope to get up to the hanger to see her maybe next week.
 
I always enjoy seeing the un-crating photos/videos, to see them packed like a new toy in a box.

Flew from Grand Canyon into Phoenix Sky Harbour last night. It looks peachy in this screen shot but it was very bumpy and I was dodging between storm cells much of the way. Had Live ATC on which makes such a difference to the immersion.

So happy that Randall got rid of those blasted artefacts on this baby!

Nic shots!

How do you find the Bulldog? I find it overwhelmingly sensitive in roll like no other aircraft. I've recalibrated the MSFS control sensitivities to where most aircraft feel good, but the Bulldog is awful. Pity, because it's a nice model, but I regret buying it, unless there's a workaround.
