  • 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.

Somewhat surprising

Yeah see?? I wouldnt complain about the default aircraft. They're default aircraft!. Theres stuff coming out as we speek that will definitely brighten your day. The Zenith is just one of em, The Goose another and the P-40 yet another.. And those are just the ones I've been involved in.. Like I said, default aircraft have never flown right. Sure, the base flight model has flaws. Its always had flaws. Thats what happens when you take an analog concept like fluid dynamics and apply it to a digital world.. We got ya covered though. :)..

wellllll, If your into cubs and bush flying, I worked on this tricky little plane by SWS that is the best sky jeep Ive ever seen.. I personally love the plane, and not because I worked on it.. I mean, since when has Microsoft ever made a default aircraft worth its weight in salt??? It hasnt, ever. So what the guy says in the vid is true, I mean, in a sense, its always been true. Try out the Zenith 701. To hell with those failures..

I have thisšŸ˜Š. It is AWESOME! Very responsive, and a blast to fly! āœˆļø NC :encouragement:
 
This has been a problem ever since the alpha testing. the rudder doesn't get used correctly and the FM's feel like they are on rails. The more I've flown MSFS the more I notice it. That's not to say it won't improve or isn't fun for what it is. It is super fun, and visually satisfying...but the Flight modeling, I agree is inferior by a long shot to P3D with external ability to calculate FDE.
 
At least under the Microsoft banner, flight sims have been a few steps short of accurate for a while. (Although I can't really speak to FSX.) About 15Ā½ years ago, I took a half-hour "orientation lesson" in a C172 for my 40th birthday. The instructor asked if I had any prior experience, and I told him that I had a couple thousand hours in FS9, but that I also knew enough to know that it was probably nowhere near the real thing. Boy, was I right. The real 172 was much more forgiving than the version in FS9. In that sim, making a gentle turn (with auto-rudder) caused a major departure from altitude, even though airspeed was steady and the ball stayed centered. In my real flight, when I made the first turn, I was watching the ball and altitude, expecting to see major deviations. But to my great surprise, she held rock steady. For me, MSFS is much closer to my experience from that day.
