Yes, it's him, but I didn't convert him, I just got him to fly. He's doing very well.

- 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 we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

Got asked to fly a load of beef to Nassau for a couple of restaurant owners - seems there's not much ranch land there. In addition to my fee, they arranged for a load of seafood to go back to the states with me, fee to be paid by more restauranteurs. My load arrived way late, but my contact in Nassau want the beef, so I'm on a night flight from Page Field just south of Ft Myers Florida. I'm flying the route "TVFR." That's Tom's Visual Flight Rules - I can see my gauges, so I'm fine! I decided to go without the GPS as primary nav, so I'm waiting for the Nassau VOR to pop into the radios while I maintain a course in the right general direction.
Turns out over a ton of beef makes the 208 a real bear to get climbing. Getting to 12K at only 500 FPM takes a while!

True... I believe the "airscrew" was wooden though

Damn, a wrong prop. That explains the sudden loss of power.

I do hope your mods with the pilot's showing for the Ka7 and Pirat will get released soon. Never liked the fact that they didn't have pilots showing in external view -always looks silly to me! I prefer the all wood Ka2b to the Ka7 in real life -it flies better. Took the son of the chief pilot of the Shuttleworth Collection 'Doc' Bailey for a 100 km cross country flight many years ago in a Ka2b. Flown many Ka7's in real life and the lowered wing version, to make it look like a Ka13.

Well for climbing yes - but for going anywhere 90-100 Km/h or more is about right - well in R/L.

I'm going to contact the author of the K7 via FS.to to offer him my files for an update. I made the avatars visible also for the internal View (for VR purposes) but adding another simple definition line will eliminate this. Most time went into the exact positioning of the pilots by matching the "translation" values inside the LOD.0 files . I did the same with the freeware Pirat glider.

I had a hell of a lot of fun flying patrol over 1930's Cleveland (KCLE) in the P-26! I even took a couple of loops with everything full forward, throttle fire walled around the old race course pylons for the Cleveland Air Races. Incidentally, this is an hour from both where I grew up and went to college. It's also not far from the little airport I first learned to fly real airplanes at (15G, Skypark). Cheers!
