  • 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.

The Aeromobile is out

Well, at least we have flying cars in the sim, if not our daily lives.

I'll be interested in your impressions, Tom. $25 feels like a lot for what's likely to be a novelty vehicle rather than a regular flier.
 
Well, it needs work... None of the switches on the left panel will animate, but clicking on the avionics master still turns on the G3X and radios, even though there's apparently no battery. If I'm missing something, it's not covered in the pdf that comes with it. That has little more than a couple of links to videos that show how to fold the wings and use the fuel truck that can be called up by the EFB. The default loadout is also out of balance, so you have to adjust the CoG manually. After starting the engine with Ctrl+E (and the mag switch still sitting at Off), I switched to external view. First thing I notices with the janky prop animation - it looked like it was only running at about 5 FPS. A few seconds later, it CTD'd on me. To say the least, I'm hoping for some updates...
 
Well I was on the fence with this one, because I do like the idea.
i have really pretty much given up hope of that ever happening in the real world.
But I also will probably never get to fly a real Connie and I have flown literally hundreds of hours in the simulated ones.
However this review and some others I have come across are not exactly making me want to open the wallet, for an airplane that I may use very infrequently.
But I also read the creators are very responsive to user commentsā€¦.so who knows. It does hurt at times to be an early adopter šŸ˜Š
