    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 latest avionics and other stuff update is out. One of the biggest improvements is to the G3000/5000 suite, along with the planes that use them. In my setup, that's the TBM and Vision Jet. I just got done testing the TBM and I gotta say, I'm not disappointed! Bone stock, she flies very nicely, and even has (drum roll please) WORKING DOORS!!!

If you have the WT G3000 mod, you can ditch it. WT's latest code is now part of the stock sim. I'll be doing more testing later, but so far, it's looking nice.

Working doors in the TBM were already available through Mugz's Improvement Mod:
https://flightsim.to/file/8288/tbm930-improvement-mod

I suspect they (and possibly other features too) have been there all the time, but for some reason beyond me they were locked, and only that mod or now AAU1 have unlocked them.

I also imagine something of the like happens with JPLogistics 152 (https://flightsim.to/file/2246/jplogistics-c152-enhancement-mod) and maybe others we will discover eventually.

I remember how odd it seemed at first, when virtually none of the default aircraft featured working doors (which were standard in FSX and before), and the usual reply was: "no working doors YET".
 
Glad the Helicopter stability issues were fixed in this update. For me they were totally unflyable up to now. Just need to figure out mapping for the rotor trim systems.
 
D/L these changes yesterday. Today was first asked to load a disk. Then after restarting MSFS was guided through some Assistance, Graffic and Streaming screens. When starting a flight the Ready to run screen became a series of screens with the plane and airport in different views. Nice
 
TBM door locks function differently on the new stock. You push the unlock button, then pull up on the handle instead of just clicking it. To close, pull the handle down. It won't drop all the way, but that's because once the door closes, you push the handle the rest of the way down to set the locks. If you click the unlock button and want to re-lock the door without opening it, raise the handle slightly and push it back down. Same procedure goes for the back door. You also get an EICAS warning if a door is unlocked - never tested that with the Mugz mod.
