    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.

Carenado has announced their C337H Skymaster HD has been updated to version 2. At the top of the products page. Check it out HERE.

 
A side note, customers that bought the original package will get V2 in their account at no charge. Got my copy and ready to take her for a spin :)

I sure hope PCAviator will honor the upgrade.
I got my older (original version) from PCAviator - I'll call them Monday and see.
 
They've integrated the F1GTN750! Pity that 750 bezel is a bit different and somewhat simpler. Apart from that: great.

Cees

Edit: I sent Carenado an email with attached invoice for V1 - I requested an upgrade to V2 - hopefully they will oblige me.
PCAviator is closed till Monday. So, I will have to see what happens then.
 
Unfortunately the external lighting fx are not Dx10 compatible from the FsX install, even after running the Dx10 fx scan tool. Oh well now to replace them with fx that work.

They don't work too well in DX9, either.

I downloaded and installed V2 this morning. On my test flight I noticed a problem with the nav lights.

The blocks only appear at certain angles in spot view as you pan around the aircraft.

I notified Carenado with the same images, and they responded that I needed to change my DX setting. They didn't say which one. I'm running FSXA, DX9 btw. I asked for clarification, but have not received a response.

Since I had not flown v1.0 for a while, I cannot say what changes were made. It does take older textures. But these little things make me want to go back to my original install.

Yeah, that's exctly how they look in Dx10!
 
The lights are attached to the model so no easy fix. I was hoping to swap them for a compatible FX from A2A shockwave or some defaults but no go. Guess we will just have to wait for Carenado to fix them. My guess is since they are goofing in both DX9 and 10 they were compiled for P3D don't have that so can't confirm.
