    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.

An IL-76 Panel....

Looking forward to this panel.
The Russian style of instrumentation you added greatly improves the look.

Been playing with a Cyrillic 'style' font...that you can almost read...once you get the hang of it.

Just compiling this as a full upload...as I have effects as well, not just the panel...;)
 
The Ilyushin IL-76 Panel has been uploaded....as a complete aircraft upload as it includes other 'tweaks'...not just the panel.
Only one GAU to say 'yes' to...instead of the dozens it used to have.
Graphically it's pretty much identical as-was, other than now being exact to the VC.
Screen-cap conversions work quite well...if the VC is good in the first place, and gets a more 3D look to the 2D panel...;)

The entry is showing in the library but the download says not available.?
 
Yes....it shows as 'status unknown' .... whatever that means .....gonna have to chase up an admin for help.
 
I've re-uploaded it....perhaps it's sorted now...;)

Edit...I see it has some 'hits' so it's accessible now...;)
 
JAFO, just wanted to thank you for an outstanding job on the IL-76 panel. I appreciate the subtle English conversions in the otherwise Cyrillic markings. I never tried the IL-76 before, but I'm glad this prompted me to give this one a whirl. This is a very excellent model and will take some time getting used to all of its nuances. Thank you and looking forward to all of your upcoming projects. Terry
 
Thanks JAFCO I second what Simtech said. If anyone is interested your panel will work in the Beriev A-50 AEW Mainstay which you can get at Avsim RU. I could never get the vc to work in FSX. Now with your panel its a perfect fit and all vc and 2d panel functions work. Thanks Robert

The Beriev is a 2004 model, like the IL-76...and by the same person [Monumentum].

I did a quick and dirty load....remming out the GAUs....there were 3 or 4....no response to stick initially...did a few swaps to stuff like smoke...and the datum is different...all the engines are wrong height...so I'll need to correct that....the VC and 2D work just fine...same coder...same model as such....got yaw and bank to respond...pitch is stuck like there's a autopilot issue...so need to look a bit closer...;)

Beware low flying aircraft....

Beriev flies really heavy....more sluggish than a 225....so probably needs some tweaks in the elev section. Gonna be a truck with that radar on top...but maybe it's overdone...;) [issue with going to FSX].
I did get it off the ground...needed a lot of muscle...particularly when you use an X65F stick [that doesn't move]...;)
 
Your right about the elevator. The plane wants to pitch up all of the time. I wish there was a trim wheel so you could get some kind of adjustment on it. I also noticed the throttle levers don't move in the vc like your 76 does. Here are my smoke sys parameters using the 76 smoke from yours.
[smokesystem]//------------------------------- Afterburner....3 stage burner toggle
smoke.1 = 10.5, -33.0, 1.0, JAFO_225_St1-Smoke // 10% N1 RPM smoke Engine1 - L Outer
smoke.2 = 8.5, -33.0, 1.0, JAFO_225_St1-Smoke // 40% N1 RPM smoke Engine1 - L Outer
smoke.3 = 11.5, -33.0, 1.0, JAFO_225_St2 // 80% N1 RPM smoke Engine1 - L Outer
smoke.4 = 18.5, -19.8, 1.8, JAFO_225_St1-Smoke // 10% N1 RPM smoke Engine2 - L Inner
smoke.5 = 16.5, -19.8, 1.8, JAFO_225_St1-Smoke // 40% N1 RPM smoke Engine2 - L Inner
smoke.6 = 19.5, -19.8, 1.8, JAFO_225_St2 // 80% N1 RPM smoke Engine2 - L Inner


smoke.7 = 18.5, 20.0, 1.8, JAFO_225_St1-Smoke // 10% N1 RPM smoke Engine3 - R Inner
smoke.8 = 16.5, 20.0, 1.8, JAFO_225_St1-Smoke // 40% N1 RPM smoke Engine3 - R Inner
smoke.9 = 19.5, 20.0, 1.8, JAFO_225_St2 // 80% N1 RPM smoke Engine3 - R Inner
smoke.10 = 10.5, 33.3, 1.0, JAFO_225_St1-Smoke // 10% N1 RPM smoke Engine4 - R Outer
smoke.11 = 8.5, 33.3, 1.0, JAFO_225_St1-Smoke // 40% N1 RPM smoke Engine4 - R Outer
smoke.12 = 11.5, 33.3, 1.0, JAFO_225_St2 // 80% N1 RPM smoke Engine4 - R Outer
 
Yep...those look good.....datum was different.

Changed all sorts of things with the elevs....even the airfile....still flies like a brick....shall dig deeper...;)
 
Thanks for the nice work on the 2D and VC panel.
I noticed on the 2D panel, co-pilots side, a missing gauge. Using the vc gauge entry fixed the issue, see attached for panel.cfg edit.

Dang it....I missed that as part of the final rework... I had swapped that out...and corrected it on the VC but forgot the 2D.
You've got it right...how it was supposed to be.

That's what you get for doing 4 panels at once....the 76, an AN-22 one....and a bit of fun with an M-50 Bounder - with 2 cockpit panels...;)

The replaced gauge has new graphics and Cyrillic font tho main reason was to go metric...;)
 
lights

I changed some of the light positions and added the strobe.
I used the data from the original aircraft.cfg.
