    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.

EXCELLENT!:encouragement:

I wouldn't normally bother with non-GB paints but these are so nice, I've just gotta have them;)

I've searched the UK register for current and de-listed L39's and there are a total of 10. However.. pictures of most of them do not exist online (not that I can find and believe me, I've looked hard!) and the odd one or two that do show very little detail.. not enough to give you a fair shot at painting them:( At least one probably went to the Breitling Fighters L39 display team and lives-on with an H reg.

I was surprised to see 10 on the list to be honest. Here's the list in case you stumble over one one day:
G-BWTS
G-BWTT
G-BZDI*
G-BZDO
G-BZVL
G-CCWB
G-CFPO
G-OALB*
G-OTAF
G-WHZZ
I'm surprised that there aren't more shots of OTAF. This lived at Duxford for a long time (OFMC) and wore a rather attractive double-grey camo scheme. Never mind.. I've picked up your latest 2:encouragement:

Heck....if ya gonna have an English reg it's gotta be 'G-WHZZ'

That's just sublime...;)

Here's another fantasy one...once you have the layers things get easy-ish...;)

Error, extra feature and request

Hiya,

Great to see everyone is enthusiastic about this new FSX version!

Have a question, i get the following error at start-up, did i do some things wrong with the installation?
l39error.jpg


For the FS9 version i made for myselve a ASI (speed) gauge texture, calibrated in kts (several warbirds in real-life have this modification). If anyone is interest i can upload the modified texture:

Special request to Bjoern, is it possible to add 3 "gauge-windows" (in for example in a new [VCockpit04] entry in the VC at the following locations?

This way you can add some of your own kits/gauges, without modelling it as gauges into the model. (Sorry do not know how complex it is what i'm asking)

Thx,

Marcel

PS
Also working on getting my FS9 repaint of the ES-TLE of the Dutch Skyline Aviation ready for this version:

Hiya Marcel:wavey:

The sound.ini message is a consequence of not reading the manual I'm afraid (we all did the same I'm sure):biggrin-new: There's a gauge folder included in the download (L39C_CockpitSounds) which must be moved to the gauges folder. Do that and the sound.ini error will go;)

Yep...I didn't know there was one when I did my Tbird ver...it dates back several years.
Then I saw that one while hunting pics of other L39s....
It's why my upload is 'texture.TBirds-metal' ...because I was going to do a 'texture.TBirds' too...a la that one...;)

It'll be a pain to get the U/S bird tail to wrap around that far [it's a 4-piece fuse]...;)
 
Yikes!!:O

You will probably have stumbled over this site.. www.l39.com . I don't think I've seen any ex-military jet painted in so many variations!!

I tried another search using Google (rather than Bing) and a few more of G-OTAF come to light though still not really enough to give you a fighting chance. For some reason, I can't get into the Air Britain picture libraries.. at least not for any of the L39 pictures. Poo, poo and treble poo!!

Duh, :shame: i also should have read the error-message more carefully, it just says what is wrong. Fixed now :ernaehrung004:

Cheers,

hahahaha..

Yes.. it's one of the few FSX errors that actually gives you a clue about what's gone wrong!! The vast majority mean absolutely nothing to me:banghead:

The gauge tooltip has airspeed in KIAS, but feel free to upload it as a mod.

It's possible yes, but since I see absolutely no benefit to it, I won't do it.
 
Livery request

Any chance we'll ever see this livery from 2007 in a Skagit Regional (KBVS) hangar?



Just asking. Thanks in advance.
 
Early days with the 'real' Thunderbird.
My idea of it wasn't too bad...or too far off....just used a more antique variation of the scheme...;)

It's all trial-and-error getting bits to align....since I loaded PSP I'm now up to bitmap number 252....

Here's the underside almost sorted....that tail is a real bugger when it's on 3 separate images and compound curved...

Still gotta run the outline round it if/when I'm happy...
All the TBird 'bits' are different from my original. The nose is pushed forward...their sizes are different...the 'wings' are redone as is the tail and the tailplane. Only the wing end stripes haven't changed [yet]...;)

It's a race to see whether I can actually finish this one before the Aussie F1 GP [I work at it] and that's only in a few days from now....
