    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.

Which aircraft do you miss the most from FS9?

Aeroworx B200 Super King Air - needs serious panel work which has not yet been successful in FSX IMHO - sadly missed....:(
 
The Maule M-7 6 Pack by I forget it's been so long and the default amphib Caravan. Used both of these in FSX till the acceleration update then problems.


Just started this today and yes, I got Mikko's permission to convert it to FSX native. In no hurry to get them done as I have other priorities at the moment, plus I'm a one man show. Been wanting to convert Mikko's Maule into FSX since the early days of FSX and Mikko doesn't have the source files any longer, so I'm running them through MCX and Blender to spit out an OBJ file which I am basing the working models from in 3DS Max. Everything will be original from the last release in 2003 including VC, so no changes whatsoever to be done, except adding the missing propeller disc which is lost during the conversion from MCX to OBJ. So there is hope ;)

Wow And thanks. Take your time no rush but I am looking forward to these.
 
Thank You euroastar350, very much for doing this :) This package is must have, like Miltons aero commanders and other his work :)
 
The Aerosoft Do-27, which was a very advanced model for its time. The Flying Stations Canberras, and the Lionheart Junkers W33 would be great candidates for an FsX upgrade in my book.

I'll second Lionheart's W33 and W34 Junkers package.
 
I would say the Calclassic propliners (Convair CV-240, Douglas DC-6/7 etc) but I still have FS9 installed and use it along with FSX.

FS9 to me is like a pair of old comfy slippers. It's there when you need it.:adoration:

There are FSX versions of the Convairliners and DC-6 at the Calclassic website. I've used the FSX Convairliners and they work pretty well, even with SP2/Acceleration.
 
Vortex,
You said: ''The one aircraft I really miss the most in FSX is the Pilot's "Boeing B314 - The Clipper".

It's over at Simviation: Link: http://simviation.com/1/download?file=Boeing314Clipperfx.zip&fileId=19745 . There is also an update / patch.

The plane I miss most in FS9 is the Helio H-295 Courier 'Jar' (orig for FS98) by Chris Lampard. I fliped the textures and flew it in FS9. Lost it in a hard drive crash. Here is pic.
