  • 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 we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Tried the slew method but still only get the door closing when I press Shift + E + 2.

Damn.:banghead:

OK, instead of that other rigamarole that I mentioned earlier try this. I discovered that as soon as you are on the runway and you throttle up and roll out just a few feet and stop abruptly and
brake, press SHIFT+E2 and the ladder will pop out. Or, you don't even have to throttle up. Just let it roll forward a few feet then stop and try the SHIFT + E2. I think that if you were to take
off and land, it would also work. But for some, just pulling up the P3 and it is already in a dead stop the ladder won't work. Seems like there has to be some forward motion for the ladder
to operate correctly.
 
I have ladder trouble but I found that if I hit Shift+E+2 the ladder will work sometimes , but it depends on how soon you hit the 2 after the E.
A slight pause and I can get it to work almost every time, too long a longer pause and up pops the GPS instead which is mapped to Shift+2.

I might try changing the GPS to another Key just to see if that clears the problem.

I too have experienced the GPS popping up is that same situation.

The quality of those paints is phenomenal.
 
@ gray egale

Had no luck with the key change for the GPS, so reverted back to as before, still hit and miss with the 2 key sometimes the stairs sometimes the GPS.
Will have to leave it to those with more knowledge than me, hope it can be sorted it spoils a brilliant model.
 
From the FWIW file: I have uploaded to FlightSim and Avsim the VXN-8 AI package (if any are so inclined).

Wow, this is the longest running thread I ever posted at SOH and a very productive one at that! I can tell by how many folks who have posted here of the love we share for the old Orion whether some folks are enthusiasts or those who've worked on or with this great aircraft. I used to handle Navy P-3C's that came into our FBO ramp many years ago as well as NASA P-3B's from Goddard Space Flight Center’s Wallops Flight Facility. Always loved the imposing sight/sound/size of the P-3's on our ramp.

Anyhow, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has kept this thread going sharing our enthusiasm for the Orion!
 
Just a idea for P-3 bases......wouldn't it be cool to have one of those fresh water rinse areas?

Surely that type of animation could be added to a base airport scenery?

Chief, if a bird bath can be done then we need to make sure that there's an AN or boot 3rd ordie taped to a chair next to the taxiway getting drenched.

Grey Eagle, I'm guessing that the VP-65 textures are a no-go for the down load page? Was really hoping to have them installed in my Orion.
 
In the up-loading done at the end of March, the update of the content shown in this image is given.
I wish to express my gratitude for cooperation of everybody.



As for P-3C, a further upgrade is scheduled to be done in the future.
