    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.

Bartel by FFS

I downloaded the "Bartel" by FFS from two places Simv and AVSIM. Use the .EXE fill and send it directly to my main FSX file. Every loads as advertised, but when I open FSX and select the Bartel in any of it's 3 variations FSX shuts down. No blue screen nothin just shuts down. I am running FSX Gold Edition with Acceleration, I have tried with DX10 on and off no change. Anyone else have this problem ? Any suggestions short of the delete button ?
 
Hi T,
I'd never heard of a Bartel so I checked it out. I downloaded it from Avsim and installed to a dummy FSX folder. I found the 3 aircraft variations in the dummy SimObject/Airplanes folder and couldn't locate any other files related to this install. I copied the 4a version to my real FSX. My default flight was cold and dark and the Bartel started right up. Flew around for awhile and no problems.
This is a nicely detailed aircraft and aside from a prop strobing effect, which I don't care for, and a nose high attitude in level flight all seems just fine. I've never seen a metallic effect like this plane has elsewhere. Sorry I couldn't be of help with your problem.

Thanks Huub

That thread fixed them right up, and Jim that is kind of a different metallic effect, sort of grainy. Gives it kind of a hammered look.
