    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.

Virtavia B-36H for MSFS Preview Thread

So far, so good. The flight engineer's station will be something to behold, especially if it is all broadly functional.
 
Looking good, Phil is getting it done. I am curious about the sound pack. That's going to be a hard one to get right as the sound sources are few and likely not modern enough quality for sampling. I wonder if AI sound building might be the new answer to creating high end sound files now or in the future? Either way, am buying this one when its out.
 
Looking forward to this. Not sure about the front panel. There's a B-36 on static display about twenty five miles away. I might check it out. Instrumentation doesn't seems congruent with Recip and Jet engines. Either way, can't wait.. will be day one purchase for me. Right on about the sounds. Perhaps there's someway to resample the sounds from "Strategic Air Command" :giggle:
 
The Virtavia B-36 VC appears to be close to the B-36J in the Air Force Museum. The four rows of Engine Instruments on the front panel were for the J47 Jet Engines only while there are master RPM and Manifold Pressure gauges for the piston engines to the upper left of the Jet gauges. The Flight Engineer was the one who generally control all the piston engine controls.

Stormy: You're correct I'd missed that. The one I was familiar with was the -H model.. slightly different. Virtavia pretty much nailed the -J. Can't wait to hear those engines drone...{wonder if we can walk into the wings? :unsure:}
 
I see mention that gun turrets won't be on the marketplace version, I thought I read somewhere that this policy has now changed? If so, I hope Phil realises rather than waste time on multiple models.
 
For clarity, I've moved everything from the release announcement forward to a new thread for the sake of unregistered visitors that come here just looking for information.
