    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.

C5 Galaxy as a static library object

Could anyone please point in the direction of a C5 Galaxy as a static aircraft object to pad out some scenery I'm working on.
I've looked around and can't seem to find one.
Many thanks,

Jim
 
Go to flightsim.com and do a search for Guy Diotte. He has done a very large selection of static aircraft.
 
I dont know how handy you are with ADEX and making traffic file's, but i prefer using Ai aircraft and placing them as statics rather than using scenery bgl's, they look better and seem easier on frame's, and you have the option of introducing some movement to your scenery when you get some confidence.

The Owls nest is the place to look for Ai, there are a number of dedicted C-5's already out there, maybe with the right unit markings for your scenery, hope this helps.

Guy's work is excellent. Unfortunately he hasn't done a C5.

I'm using ADE to build the airfield (Greenham-Common EGVI, circa 1987) I assumed that a static object bgl would be less heavy on frames than AI.
Others have said you can schedule a flight for an AI at midnight once a week so it just sits at the parking the rest of time looking pretty. This is what I'm trying to achieve so will look into the whole Traffic thing.

What's the easiest to get an initial handle on?

Many thanks to both you chaps.
