    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.

TG Sims Bristol 188

TG Sims has released the Bristol 188 if anyone is interested. Available on Simmarket. There's a 2020-version (with 2024 compatibility) and a native 2024-version. Never heard of this developer before. From the screenshots it reminds me a bit of the "old" Virtavia, meaning the cockpit looks a bit FSX-like IMHO.

Edit: since someone will be nagging about links, here's the Simmarket-link for the 2020-version: https://secure.simmarket.com/tg-sims-bristol-188-for-msfs.phtml

With an asking price of less than $10, I wouldn't expect it to be anything more, but being a niche plane, I'll stick it anyway.
 
It definitely deserves to be stuck. The price is wonderful and is enough to get me to buy it despite having the original freeware version, to get the improvements. I don't think people would have complained at $15-18, so at $9.99 it's a no-brainer if you love this crazy experimental era of aviation.

It's not Blackbird SR-71 level detailed or anything, but even the original freeware release was challenging to fly and felt like it was hitting the performance and handling described in articles about the Bristol.

Here's the original thread for the freeware version:
