  • 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.

Lockheed S-3 Viking - The Sequel Thread

Well, we are very close to the public release, outstanding items are really few (but quite boring) - probably 5-10 hours of work will be enough to complete it...

Dino... that was over 72 hours ago :ernaehrung004: whats happenin man, whats happenin?


Sorry, but I know some of you were thinkin it...

I wanted to bump this thread and say Thank you Dino and add how much I am looking forward to his next aircraft.


:wavey::applause:
 
Well... too much "real life" work in these days... No progress since my last update.
Basically release date will depend on the weather during the weekend - if it is bad, we may have the Beta ready sunday evening - but forecasts are good, and I think I'll go relaxing at the beach (sorry!)...

Never apologize for enjoying life. Everything else all in good time. Have fun. :)
 
I wholeheartedly approve of days spent on the beach, rather than in front of a computer monitor!!

We all are more than able to wait for our toys!
 
Rest assured that I'll Always pick a day at the beach instead of one spent in front of a computer monitor! :)

Anyway, here is the situation at present:
- External model is 99.9% complete
- Virtual cockpit modeling is 95% complete (just few minor details we could even skip for the Beta)
- A Beta flight model is in place which seems to quite nicely (but more testing is needed)... tends to float a little, but in general seems acceptable...
- Alpha sound package by Serge is in place...and sounds great, especially at low regimes
- We have 14 wonderful liveries by Groom Lake Simulations completed
- Tacpack configurator works, dumb bomb and rockets release works as intended (while AGM-84 AGM-65 and refuel pods are not functional)

Regards

Dino
 
If you want to get excited, go out to the Groom Lake Simulations Facebook page and see many Viking paints. Wow!

S-3B Viking - Beta Release

Imag77.jpg


Given that I will not have much time to work on the Viking during the next few weeks, I have decided to release the S-3B Viking "Beta" version as is.
This is a testing version only - you are welcome to download it and fly it, but you should expect several malfunctions and issues.
