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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Your downloads are for the FS2004 version of the Mig-17PF. Those models do not exist in the FSX version.
I have both versions and if I recall I decided not to import those textures over to FSX because of the missing models.

I shouldn't admit it, but I searched out a bootleg earlier version and the install includes ALL of the models vs only a few in the legit purchase. The pirated install file is quite a bit larger. I feel like i was ripped off for being honest and purchasing the MiG........
PS Those models are also missing in the current FS2004 install.

You can try and contact the distributer and see if they will offer a refund. But always and use paypal for this exact reason. However, you can convert them over to FSX, but will require effort.

I did look, the model files in the pirated version are not included in the version being sold by Just Flight. All of the uploaded liveries I have found refer exactly to the file structure of the pirated version which is an earlier version. The pirate version is also quite a bit larger as it includes all of the model files referenced by the livery downloads.

I spent some time yesterday bringing over my addon textures from FS9 to the FSX version. Seemed like an easier solution than running both versions in FSX.
There was some analysis involved in resolving the issue of different/missing models. I compared the default aircraft entries between the two sims, for example, and noted the textures for model=1970s in FS9 is now model=PAF for FSX.
When you all are done, perhaps someone can tell me how to shut off the beeping sounds. I still haven't figured out if they're signals for ILS, beacon or ADF or whatever, but I cannot find any on/off or volume control to quiet them.
Looks like I'll be doing some more reading on the Bear Studios forum this morning as well.
