RE: Vess Props?
sinergy,
I'd have to agree with you. I had an email conversation with Robert Vess concerning the SSL issues and he assured me it was to be fixed soon and that was roughly 2 weeks ago, as you are probably aware, an SSL issue is almost always because the certificate has expired, is corrupted or there is some sort of weird packets hitting the wire at layer 1. Like you I'm in the IT business, specifically network security testing down at the packet level so I definitely understand where you are coming from.
As rdb127 said,
Calling DA and getting them that way is most definitely wort the extra hassle. I've replaced almost all my props with the Vess. The only plane that did not like it was my DA50 powered Cap. The engine did not care as I have that same engine in another plane, but the Cap certainly did not care for it.
