    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.

Beale AFB by Blackbird Simulations Released!

Bought it! Looking forward to installing and flying out of Beale, AFB. Now, you need to do other US air bases. :)

Thanks Jim!

Next one is the retro version for the Blackbirds. Then we'll see.

Oh yes! Please do. They will all be instant buys from me. McChord is on my "will do most anything" to have in sim.

Getting Beale when I get back from overseas. Thanks Dimus.
 
Hi Dimus,

Will the retro version be a separate paid for addon? Or would you get the option for the retro version, like you did for P3D?

Clearly, I'm after the 80's version :ernaehrung004:

Looks great!

Turning the modern into retro is quite more demanding in MSFS than P3D. This is why I could not work both in parallel. It is supposed to be a separate package once completed and it is intended to be somehow commercially connected to the SR-71 when that is out. I can not yet say if there will be any connection of the modern and the retro versions commercially wise.

I fully get that you're after the retro version so I would suggest to wait.:smile-new:

It would be a great package if they both came together. Not enough interest in modern Beale. I've been hoping for a retro Edwards, featuring early supersonic test vehicles and X-15's. Right Stuff sorta thing.

Valid point and ell understood. However, retro Beale needs badly a Blackbird to fly from it so it will come together with it. For now this is a well researched modern USAF airbase with lots of features, to visit using a fighter jet or cargo plane in the sim.

Btw, there is a hidden Easter egg to hunt if you're into that sort of thing.:kilroy:
 
An update to the scenery has now been released. Changelog:

- Static U-2 textures corrected with markings, bump and rough-met maps

- SR-71 hangar (Parking 16) aft door animation fixed

- Runway skid mark textures updated

- Manual updated to include LVAR name for SR-71 hangar door animation control

The last point is that if any plane developers wish to include control of the animated hangar doors they can use the LVAR provided. For now it works with the default planes and the SSW F-104s. The upcoming BBS SR-71 will have native control of the doors.

Anyone found the Easter egg yet?


 
Shameless bump with a video just released from Blackbird:


Hoping to have it also on the Marketplace soon. So far only from BB site, link on the first post.
 
For those interested and prefer it, KBAB is now (finally!) available also on the Marketplace, for X-box and PC.
 
Hi Dimus,

I know Milviz are no longer producing for P3D, which is fine.

Can I ask a cheeky question though regarding your Beale for P3D V5 - I have it running in V6 but when I get to the runway, there is no hard surface and I get dirt effects from the wheels and undulating terrain - what am I missing?

Will definitely get Beale for MSFS once the Blackbird Blackbird is out :ernaehrung004:
