    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’m re-discovering this fantastic machine and have spent hours working out exactly what each switch and gauge does. The manual helps a bit, but there’s not much detail there.
I’m left scratching my head about two things: the first is the ADF. I have worked out how to set the frequency but the only way I can power it up initially is with the FSX ‘Avionics’ keystroke - I can’t find an actual Avionics switch. There’s one for the ADF but that doesn’t actually power it up unless the avionics are on.

The second thing is the UGR compass: the white pointer is for the ADF, but what function has the double pointer got (it has a knob to adjust it)?

Any ideas would be great!
 
You need to have the Power Inverter set to "On" (i.e. in the up position.)

This switch is below and to the right of the orange framed pitot heat switch.

You should then get a green p"power on" lamp on the panel where you set the ADF frequency.

Can't help on the UGR card though....
 
Thanks for the reply.

I think I have discovered what the problem is: if the default flight does not have Avionics switched on, the ADF won't work until Avionics is enabled with a keystroke. There's no Avionics switch as such in the aircraft.
 
yes -much like a few of the Milviz helicopters, the Bell 212 etc..it is completely reliant on being loaded after a default aircraft in a default state to function in FSX. A somewhat loathsome quality..
 
in spite of that, still a very fun aircraft model to fly

I understand that there could be some long awaited upgrades to the Colt coming along 'soon' - anyone have any details to share?
 
outstanding - love the idea of floats and load manager!

I wonder what that 50% off price tag will look like..
