    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.

Virga Studio Alphajet Released 6/16

I saw your response on their Discord, Ed. I don’t get the impression the developer is serious about maturing/improving the product. Pity, as it was a decent starting point.
I agree! Overall the Alphajet is a great airplane and a decent model. It's the little things that need some refining and as you say they seem undaunted by suggestions that certain things are being ignored like the Pilot figure which seemed obvious to many here and even mentioned by others in their Discord only to be ignored despite their response to the contrary. I had to laugh when I saw the Pilot after loading the latest version. . . ."front and rear Pilot upscaled". . . .I don't think so.

As for the AP, that's just a personal preference thing due to the fact that the original airplane was never fitted with an autopilot. I just thought that if you added an Autopilot section in the system config file it should be able to function. . . .but I doubt it will be fixed as it is way down on their list a priorities.

So do I. It's a lot of stuff: textures, AP, the pilot size... But most of all the attitude of the devs towards the community.
