    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.

Milton and team's XP54 native released

Thanks for posting this Roger. Awesome screenshots! :applause:

Most of the credit for this one goes to Mike Kelley and James "Magoo" Banks.

They made a silk purse out of the sow's ear I gave to them. :)
 
Gorgeous aircraft ! Flies so smooth. Kinda makes me think The Shupe team did a Piglet type aircraft. Thanks so much for your hard work on this effort ! Mike :applause:
 
What a beauty! Love the sound. Well done XP-54 Team! :encouragement:

I like the blue one...

One reported problem is that the fuel gauge does not work in the 00 military version.

Here is the simple fix procedure:

1) Open the Vultee_XP-54_FSX_00 package aircraft.cfg and find the Fuel Section.

2) Copy paste the following to replace the Fuel Section, then save and test.



[fuel]
//Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
fuel_type =1
number_of_tank_selectors =1
electric_pump =1
fuel_dump_rate=0.02000
anemometer_pump=0
manual_pump=1
engine_driven_pump=1
Center1 = 1.0, 0, -0.6, 378, 15
 
Milton and team, great job on the swoose!

Really enjoying the beta, flying over photoreal greece and orbx adriatic.
can't wait to fly the release pak when the time gets here... after my grandchildren vacate the flight sim studio:mixed-smiley-010:

Hmmm, Is this a Beta? The Title says "XP54 Native Released". That sounds like this IS the release.
 
Sorry guys...I am indeed flying the beta ..
For nw... but I was so excited to see the final release I had to comment..:jump:
 
Milton - another one knocked out of the park. Love this bird.

I'm getting a bit of low res on the cockpit frames in the VC - anyone else getting this? I'm also wondering about the nosewheel steering - is there an unlock? I'm getting very little authority on slow taxi speed. Otherwise a spectacular plane. Love the burnished rear fuselage - nice heat effect on the metal paints.

Would make a great spotter for scenery work on my early KEDW scenery project - here's another one I'm using in that role (huge thanks to Milt again for that one, and Ducky/Steve for the paint!):

Based on the "1947 racer" paint, might be a fun scheme for a repainter so inclined. I know I'd fly the wings off it.

Again - thanks for a great project Milt et al!

Regarding nose wheel turning, it is currently set up for 180 degrees, which requires differential braking to make a turn. If you want normal nose wheel turning via rudder authority change the nose wheel steering from 180 to 45 degrees.

point.0 = 1, 14.927, 0.0, -7.95, 1800, 0, 1.099, 180, 0.15, 4.0, 1.0, 3.0, 3.0, 0, 150.0, 236.0

point.0 = 1, 14.927, 0.0, -7.95, 1800, 0, 1.099, 45, 0.15, 4.0, 1.0, 3.0, 3.0, 0, 150.0, 236.0

Thanks Mal,

After going to bed, I started wondering about differential braking. I should have thought of that before posting. Thanks for confirming, and for the edit.

Gorgeous plane! Thanks to the Shupe team for this one. Nice work on the VC too. It flies sweet. I took off from Vandenberg just to make sure I had plenty of runway. I needed it as I didn't runup to full military power for take-off as I was trying to baby the engine. I guess it was ahead of its time in that it didn't have the right powerplant. Wonder how it would have done with a Lycoming T55?
