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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

This is tough, because I think most of us would simply settle for "All of them!" Until then, my list:
P-39
Mossie (Come on, Dave, what's taking so long? Oh right, the other plane you're working on.
)
Privateer (-2 single tail with dual .50 blisters)
V-22
V-280
T-7A (On Dino's to do list, but it will be awhile)
Cessna Crusader
Rutan Catbird (Long shot, but why not)
Glasair III RG
Velocity V-Twin
Convair 990
Gripen JAS-39
Rockwell Jet Commander
Rockwell Sabreliner (Isn't one of these being worked on? Or was that P3D?)
Lockheed Jetstar II
F-86H
That should cover it for now. It's difficult to minimize the list. I should note that I didn't add anything that was made in the past by Carenado, such as the Aero-Commanders, as I figure they will eventually convert those to MSFS.

Harrier (any)
Tornado GR1-3

Lockheed Hercules C-130
Avro 698 Vulcan
Bell UH-1D
Westland Lynx
Westland Wessex
Sikorsky CH-53

If any of these will be released, I will take a change to MSFS into account - not until then!
Yes! Finally someone brings up rotary wing.
I would add:
AH1 Gazelle
OH 58 Kiowa (or Bell Jet Ranger)
UH-60 Blackhawk...or even better: Seahawk with littoral ops, USCG or Navy versions
MH-6 Little Bird

I think your forget that, with the launch of MSFS on XBox, that it is now the gaming kiddies that make up the majority of the market of MSFS.
And I don't think that someone's taste in aircraft is an indication of whether the individual is an adult or not. Tastes and preferences in aircraft have nothing to do with being a grown up. They're exactly that: tastes and preferences.

Priller...If I had to guess, I don't think Paul was trying to disrespect anyone...I think he was alluding to the old Tom Gibson "Jets are for kids" mantra...and expressing his agreement with that sentiment.

Thanks...
Thanks...
I don't think that will last long. There's not enough "game" to the game ("It's not a game, it a simulator!!!") for the teenagers out there. They're going to go through the landing challenges, then maybe the bush trips, then declare it "finished" and move on. Then it will be back to those of use that appreciate relaxing during a nice flight from Key West to Cancun, or from San Juan PR to Princess Juliana.

What I primarily want is aircraft that are not available in other simulators. The Junkers D.I comes to mind. If I really want an aircraft I will buy the required simulator (which seldom happens).

While my biggest wish is a DC-3, which AH has promised us will be here by end of year, but next what I would like to see is a decent DC-7C. We have had decent DC-4s and DC-6Bs recently but its been awhile since we had a 7C

I'm afraid the quest for less "mainstream" subjects will continue to be a long one. MSFS is a very different proposition to build for, payware or freeware. The time, effort and resources are far greater. So payware titles are likely to continue to be "middle-road" choices because the ROI is greater and more assured. Freeware will be down to time - whether the developer has sufficient time and patience to produce more obscure titles. Unless they have access to specialist skills like WWise sound production, sounds will be legacy. Material and texture development will also slow progress. So it is likely that the more obscure subjects will continue to be legacy imports if they are freeware. Nothing wrong with that if that is what you are after but dedicated native productions is another story altogether.
