    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.

Wing42's Boeing 247D released

I just tried it again in the Alps, from Innsbruck via Bolzano towards Lugano. Lost one engine before reaching Bolzano, temperatures started dropping once I finished the climb over the nearest peaks. I noticed the oil pressure dropping before the engines seized, but nothing I did lead to increasing the pressure again.
Before the flight I contacted the developer with my recent experience, maybe I'll get a reply. Could also be that I am missing something though.

I certainly hope they patch the plane soon and fix the MANY issues it has. Unfortunately I don't want to comment on many of them as I have yet to find the manual for the plane ( bought on the in game store? ).

I figured out to toggle all the switches with my honeycomb alpha/bravo before starting a flight ( would never prime until I rotated the fuel tank selector and would not fire if I didn't cycle the magneto switches ).

I just hope a lot of the Engine Modeling issues aren't due to the game itself where they won't be able to get them to work correctly......

For $20 I don't mind waiting for fixes if it went to the market early in development as long as it is still being developed. I know nothing about the developer but realize the need to make some money at some point if they are just starting out and went big on engine modeling for their first project to create a deeper experience for people. It is nice to at least see someone trying and putting out a product for a good price.

FYI, I have also found out that if you blow the fuse for the generator during a flight you need to turn off the Alternator Switch on the Honeycomb when you change it or it will just continually blow.... I am glad I figured it out before I tried sticking a penny in it and started the cockpit on fire :wiggle:
