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.

Awesome, Baz! I've flown in a DC-3 (actually the sole C-41) and that sounds right to me. I've seen the one based at Paine Field much more recently, and the audio's legit right on!
Also, it passes the "sounds different when you open the window" test, so that means the "experts" on the official forum will approve.

Stunning sounds...
These sounds were custom recorded from a real DC-3, inside and out. In my opinion, I believe they've done a great job.
Indeed.
& am I correct in suggesting that quite a bit of a DC-3 soundscape comes from the prop tips?

Do you really have to be an "expert" to know that sounds get louder when you open windows though?

I'm being sarcastic. There are a bunch of vocal users who immediately denounce the audio on any MSFS plane if they open the canopy/cockpit door and the sound doesn't change, no matter how good the audio is otherwise.
It's their test for if it uses WWise and lets them feel like experts.
Don't even get me started on that crowd, or we'll have to go into the Texture Mafia discussion too.

Don't worry about the startup Jan. The entire suite was recorded on a real aeroplane from the moment the hydraulic hand pump goes up on its first stroke to engine shutdown. It's as real as it gets.
I had my first flight as a 12 year old on a Cambrian Airways DC-3. It's something I will never forget.

Holy hell Baz - that's some good stuff! I'm running a 39" TV for a monitor, including its speakers, so that sounded dang good on my end!
I'm sure it is !
Tell me about it, Bazz. One small anecdote if i may (i have quite a few more when it comes to the DC-3) : i was in a band in the 70's and we did a Dutch Antilles and Surinam tour. In a DC-3 ! Yessir, and the good thing on top of that was that the copilot was just not around a few times. While the old Lady scared the hell out of most other members of the band, yours truly was offered to take on the job of the missing copilot. Well, just lowering and raising flaps and gear on his command, but still.. Saying that this was the time of my life is an understatement, naturally.
