    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.

I notice that all the military versions (liveries) do not display the tail boom (Red arrow)
I didn't see the boarding ladder (Orange arrow) either.
I'm using the P3d V3.4 series sim. I think Shift + E+ 1 will display the tail boom - no mention in the owners manual on how to display any of this stuff.

Edit: found a spot in the cockpit to activate the crew ladder. That will only make the fwd crew ladder appear after which I do a shift E and the ladder moves against the door and the tail strut
will appear. Still no rear ladder as shown in pic below.

I picked up this model on sale at Flightsim.com this morning at about half price. It's an exceptional value, it looks and flies great! BTW, is anyone doing (or perhaps already done) a VC-54C Sacred Cow repaint?
 
Rear Pax stairs no show

This is in P3D V3.4 - When click on item #3, the crew ladder appears and then SHIFT E will move the ladder up against the front door and the tail boom/strut appears. No rear Pax ladder.
 
click spot 5 for 'passenger' ladder?

edit: snooze I loose.

That works :encouragement: Thanks JD. I overlooked that spot on the copilots dash area. Now when I am in a C-54 with twin doors on the rear, it looks like the rear ladder is not an option.
The other aircraft with a single door will show a "hide/show passenger ladder" when I hover my mouse arrow over that spot on the upper co-pilots dash - but not so with twin cargo doors
in the aft section - Guess that was the intended results.

Thanks a lot for that and letting me know.

Appreciate it :encouragement:

There are two different Sacred Cow repaints here on SOH for FR C-54 available - one of Truman´s and one of Roosevelt`s time.

Thanks Thomas! I actually found them right after I made that post. Great work!
