    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.

Curtiss Jenny & RAF RE8 from Martin Klein

Hello Martin,

...and you can be!

One thing is to make a reasonably decent model in AF99, fighting the
limitations, and adding some SCASM, and quite another is to get oneself
into Gmax with any degree of success.

I tried at least 4 times in the last 15 years to get myself into Gmax,
to no avail. I never got beyond the tutorial.

Cheers,
Aleatorylamp

Thanks all for your good words :untroubled:

I worked this evening on the E. Hollocoombe Clift airspeed indicator

Stay some instruments to do to reproduce this panel

As to follow, cheers

This week's work: the altimeter up to 16 thousand feets, and the Mark III Worsnop switch box.

Badly I don't have any precise pict for the oil pressure gauge (panel's upper left) and the fuel quantity (under the windscreen, visible from a mirror). If someone could have picts from the Shuttlelworth, TVAL, or Brussel's Re8, it would be fine :encouragement:

Have a lovely week!

Great thanks Stephan and Wolfebee for your support, the pict is exactly what I searched, lovely :)

Have a nice week

Hello Happy Simmers
A few progress for this week, the VC needs now only a throttle on left side, the tank selector under the tank (just behind the panel), a starter on top right, a map to navigate on the free surface, and a new compass, I made tests to have my compass card moving with pitch and bank, for now with no success, but I keep on to search (any idea on how to do from a kind and clever builder?)

I saw recently on this forum people interesting with world war one sims, great things can be done with Combat Flight Simulator 2, perhaps an old sim, but with many possibilities ;) Think about it!

Have all a nice week, cheers

Beautiful work Martin! The fuel gauge looking through the mirror effect is perfect.
I haven't seen any 3D gimbals in our sim.
Cheers,
Kevin
 
Thanks for your support Guys, I begin to really look forward to see it finished, and to start an other good project to share, Stephan.
Kevin, thanks for the good words on the fuel gauge mirrored. About the gimbals, it seems CFS2 can recognise such animation, in Stuart Green's Albatross and Pfalz the compass works pretty fine horizontally-stabilized in CFS2, but reproducing it is an other story:banghead:

Cheers
Martin
 
Hello old crates fans!

The Re8 is close to the upload, the model is finished, stay the 2D panel and some slights set ups on gauges

The creagh Osborne compass reign now in the panel's center, showing the east for the next sortie ;)

A rack set for a full bomb load is still to do, eight 20lbs cooper bombs under the wings, and a center 100lbs Royal Laboratory under the fuselage :pirate:

A good week to all, cheers
