  • 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.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - ANIMALS and Wildlife

Toward the end of this video it shows a listing of the locations that the wildlife in this sim are located, but I could see this expanding greatly over time with the monthly-post release updates and/or in third-party addon files.

 
As long as Isl. Nublar exists virtually, I fully expect to see herds of Dinosaurs and including some T-Rex, fully animated, running wild. In fact, I expect no less from the creative minds around here.... :D :jump:
 
I think the quality of the aircraft alone are worth the price, not to mention the scenery and weather.

I agree, better flight physics, better default airplane quality, real-time weather with impressive graphics, real-time AI traffic, and without having to buy hundreds of dollars in add-on programs.

As the Velicoraptors sneak out and tear the tail off of your Cessna while you're watching the T-Rex.."Oh, she's a clever girl!"
 
MSFS - Walking In The Environment

This video shows why it is nice to have a game controller, like an Xbox One controller I use, in additional one's normal stick/yoke/throttle/rudder pedal controllers, for use of the "Showcase/Drone" camera. Also note in this video all of the ambient sounds you can hear in the various environments, which changes based on where you're at around the world, what's happening around you, and what time of day it is (birds singing on a bright sunny day, absent when it's storming, crickets chirping or toads croaking by night depending on your location, etc.).

This is all default, as it comes.

As an amateur nature and landscape photographer, I found this video to be enlighten. I already use Google images and photo apps to plan photo trips. The ability to now change lighting and weather conditions and the accuracy of the scenery will make this a great photography tool.
 
And now for something completely different:

I love Phly. Watch his War Thunder vids every day and his crew are hilarious.
