    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.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Ships

Description: This model depicts the Royal Navy invincible class aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal in a typical configuration during her 2010 deployment.

Ark Royal differs from Invincible and Illustrious in that her ski jump was designed with a 12 degree ramp from the outset, along with the use of Phalanx instead of Goalkeeper CIWS. In her later years Ark Royal received a different communications fit from either Invincible or Illustrious as can be seen in the design of her third "mast" to the rear of the island. All three carriers are equipped with two GAM-B01 20mm guns from Oerlikon-Contraves and BAE Systems

This model was originally designed in sketchup, to which I have since ported into Blender. As a result although she is a marked improvement on my earlier invincible class models there are still some anomalies with texturing.

Tested in FSX Acceleration only.

Hi Gary,

I'm trying to put TACAN together for this within AICarriers.
Did you pre-configure?

RFN TACAN Gauge suggests 17X but I think that's for an older Ark.

Please help, keep having to ditch the Harrier in the Channel and swim back to Culdrose after another unsuccessful locating attempt!

Whether you have an older Ark Royal or not you can make the RFN TACAN Gauge work with this version one using the same 27X (109.00).
Simply edit the section in the "\Gauges\RFN_Carrier.xml" file to point to this one based on the sim.cfg title line.
In this case change Sim_Name="Ark_Royal" to Sim_Name="HMS Ark Royal 2010".
Hope this helps.

Just done it!

You're a star mate. Many, many thanks.
Now, off to fly in this filthy weather over the Channel but at least I'll be able to find the ruddy barge. :encouragement:
