tiger1962 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Tail rotor failure. It's not a question of IF but WHEN. Sorry I couldn't resist - but this is a very sad loss to the community and I hope they can get back online soon.

mallcott Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Does anyone know what happened to hovercontrol.com? The site went down and has been down for some time now. It's a victim of Jordans loss of interest, becoming increasingly apparent in recent months... Dont expect it back any time soon. It is, as the expression goes, no Moore!

ColR1948 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yes I used to give it a whirl from time to time, I didn't realise it had gone, shame really, those guys worked hard and did a great job for the heli fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 May not be gone for long. Just saw on the SOH site that the onwner has renew his domain for another year, so maybe just redoing his site. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

gt401964 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Jordan was brilliant at Hovercontrol but personal life, many flightsims around to develop for, and he wasn't about to go changing and developing for anything past FSX. You can't really blame the guy. It was becoming a headache for him so he just pulled the plug. It was a darn great site too but I can't blame him wanting a life back.

CRJ_simpilot Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) May not be gone for long. Just saw on the SOH site that the onwner has renew his domain for another year, so maybe just redoing his site. That's not necessarily an indicator on whether the site will be back up or not. Domains are like virtual real estate, you kinda want to hold on to certain properties. Even if they're not occupied... For example, Elon Musk once owned x.com, the precursor to today's PayPal. The domain was still owned by the company that runs PayPal, but Elon Musk wanted the domain back for "sentimental reasons." So bought it back from PayPal for an unspecified amount if I can remember right. If you go to x.com it just loads a txt document. Interesting enough, he uses GoDaddy... Yuck. LOL PS: You also have the option of paying for a domain on a per year basis or by multiple years. So if he paid for ten years it'll renew every year until then. Even when the domain expires, you have I think a month to pay up to keep it. Not sure if that's an ICANN thing or not. It's been that way at NameSilo. Edited February 23, 2022 by CRJ_simpilot OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

Rory did it first. https://sourceforge.net/projects/hcff/ Someone has completely redone that fantastic work of Rorys including the minesweeper version, or lets say the larger 53, which now in 2022 a newer version is coming out and HMX 1 has discontinued its CH53 Wing. Still; the very best chopper in the field. Do a FSX search Rory Kelly CH53, alot of MAIW will come up but keep looking youll see a post directing you to the site, fine work.
