  • Special Server Maintenance

    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

SSW F84-F Thunderstreak ("The Hog") ready for the sky.

Here are a few night time V.C. screens from my flight last night DX9, no bloom.. these are with "Dome Light" on, I forget what it is actually called... a secondary "White light" splash.

Finally had some time to fly it, and for what I could see in those short eight minutes, this is on par with the Milviz Sabre!









Very tempted to buy this in the near future..
 
Ferry, better buy "dat ding" and get rid of those 8 fricking minutes of pleasure and enjoy "dat ding" constantly !!:02.47-tranquillity:

Cheers,
Hank

(PS/ mis wel de lange jannen op de screenshots !!)
 
Yes, congrats on a job well done! Been waiting for this one to pal around with my Sabre! Love the early jets! Bring them on! ;)
 
Here are a few more and lets see if I can get full size from ol' Photobucket, I thought I'd fixed that!

... well nope :angryfire:

Anyway, departed Edwards, "a ripping and a tearing" through the L.A. basin, back up over the mountains and on approach to Edwards.

Boy this thing will kill you on approach.

I've seen just a few things that seem to bother me:

1. loose the green scrolling line at top on screen when I select this aircraft....
2. seems like the gear lever is backwards...
3. found the drag chute yellow lever in V.C. that opened the drag chute compartment in tail of aircraft but I could not push/pull the lever back in from the V.C., so it just stayed open.

No I have not read the manual

I'll go and do that tomorrow and see if there is a proper way to fix these things.

I agree with
this is on par with the Milviz Sabre!

Altogether a hugely impressive piece of work - thanks to Alessandro, Mario and all at SSW. Only problem I have is it keeps overloading my system memory. Have to push sliders to the left to get it to work properly. I might try to reduce the .dds file sizes; detail may have to be sacrificed for function!

Happy Xmas All

Didn't have time to figure out how to add the tanks, Hank..

Anyway, decided not to buy it, even though it is a lovely model.
 
I'm looking forward to an old USAF Air Guard camo paint , that would really kick this one in the butt ! :wink-new:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
I must say looking across the web at all the F-84 photos, the repaints will be nearly endless.
