    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.

Twelve Engines!

The term "flying boat" simply refers to a seaplane that has a hull it uses for buoyancy, versus "float planes" that use fuselage mounted floats for buoyancy.

Well said, flyboy, crisp and clear. No confusion about that.

For anybody interested in "The Flying Boat" here's a nice little overview, with special attention to the gigantic Saunders-Roe Princess that added another 17 feet to the lenght of the Do-X and a whopping 63 feet to the Do-X wingspan. Alas it turned out to be a plane designed for a future that never existed...:

The model work on the DO is top shelf. Every angle is covered. Huge amount of work went into this thing. Exactly what I want in today's sim aircraft. Would like to see passengers through those large ports.

Yesterday I was flying around in the Dornier DO X. I had launched from the Latecoere 631 primary base in France, LFB4.Now I admit that I've never been any further than the stop sign in my little mouse town but you can learn a thing or two even in flight simming!I was only 10-20 NM from LFB4 heading roughly due North when I came upon this, Dune of Pilat. There was a nice river estuary just a little further North, also.However, without a rudimentary auto pilot or VOR/NDB radio guidance I'll have to stick close to the shoreline and never venture out over the great pond.- Don
