    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.

Sibwings Pitts Released (payware)

Screenshot looks great! How are the flight dynamics and does it feel like an aerobatic plane?
 
In restrictions of my Settings, Stick and the FSX, quite nice.

I see their repaint for G-REAP, is not correct. They improvised the graphic on the left side of the vertical fin/rudder.
 
Yoyo unfortunately the comp closed sometime ago...here's a couple of NZ schemes included in the package

How is the Aerobatic capability of this one ?

Stalls, Spins, hammerheads etc

I thought the Addictive Sims was supposed to have the best Pitts flight model? ie you can spin etc

I was just thinking of shelling out the funds for it today but here you are tossing it away??!!

This one is that good?

(I have the Alabeo one btw)

I second this. Pretty screenshots are nice. But, what about the flight model? How does it fly? Can it spin? Can it slip? Can it hammerhead? Can it do a snap roll?

Has anyone put it through some serious acrobatic maneuvers?
 
My understanding is that Andrey of SibWings said he was doing it.

He did the Safir X - in which the rudder in flat turn goes a little the correct way then back the wrong way (threads on here about this).

He also did the initial Bird Dog which after much "discussion" got instead redone by Alexander (third party) instead.

To my mind this leaves the addictive pitts as "likely" the best FDE from the info I have read but the Alabeo and Sibwings pitts are newer and have possibly visual advantages.

I want to learn hammerheads and things and have just found out even my RealAir Decathlon cannot do them properly.

Not sure actually what can? Perhaps no real difference between the FDE of the three pitts?

I would like to know too.

I haven't had any issues with the Sibwings Pitts in doing hammerheads, spins, or knife edge. In my opinion it's has the best fde's of any Pitts out there at the moment. Never could get into the Addictive Pitts, just didn't like the fde's or vc.

Yep - agreed
 
Started first repaint - must say that the repaint kit is great but only available for the single seat version at the moment.

Oh dear. Things are very quite on the Sibwings Pitts forum. I have found what appears to be a glitch with the details layering (so i cant progress with the paint i have shown above) and no one has been there, apart from me, for a few days now.
