    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.

FSX S2F3 Stoof update

Thanks to everyone, from the original FS9 crew to the FSX conversion crew. This plane has been sorely missing from FS and JIC you couldn't tell by those last two shots, I really enjoy flying the Tracker. :)
 
Not seeing any major issues here with the model work.

I have adjusted the contact points for the main gear and static pitch.

I do notice the space in the seat frame beside the seat back that someone mentioned earlier. That's the way I put it out and I have no issue with that.

Animations look good here as well; nice job there. :)

The native FSX texture enhancements work is great; I commend you guys for that work. :applause:

I would like Tom to take a final look at the flight model before release. Negative nose trim (-2.5 to -2.8) is required for takeoff and level flight at cruise and that seems a bit awkward to me (although it may be realistic) and could bring surprises on launch.

Thanks to your team for the extraordinary work here. :applause:
 
Will have a look at the FD today, I usually takeoff at neutral trim with flaps at the first notch. I did notice one issue remaining with the model; the fairing inboard of the inner flap does not cast a shadow, flaps up or down.

Small change to the FDE, slightly increased the nose up pitch moment (very small change).

As noted before, the fairings between the inner flap and the fuselage does not cast a shadow, as does the wing and flap.

Very nice! She is a lot of fun to deckland, though the wingspan even on an angle deck requires a careful accurate lineup! Especially if static aircraft line each side!

No freeware product of mine is without issues; or, any program of complexity has at least one bug. :)

Wrap it up. :)
 
FSX has an awkward way of casting shadows on aircraft. Trust me on that one:icon_lol: Anyways, I think it's as good as it's going to get. So with that being said, we are going to build the installer tonight, run a test to make sure all folders are setup properly before handing it over to Uncle Milton for release:salute:
 
Sounds good to me sir.

Attaching Tom's FM with the contact points updates I did earlier today. Please include.
