  • 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.

    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.

Ok, starting to do details and new skin. The resolution is improved and model will receive new teeths.
Id like to see only wheels more rounded ; -)

How do you reduce the reflection somewhat on the model? Normally this would be in alpha channel.
 
TiAR, just wanted to say thank you. It's a beautiful plane, snd a wonderful job. Es ist sehr schon, veilen dank ! Es gefreut mich sehr !

Yes, YoYo is right - it is hard coded - why? Newer P3D Versions have a different display of reflections like FSX. With hard coding no further textures are needed. And at least I do not like unreal looking aircrafts with super gloss or high reflections. I know, thats a bit short thinking.

But I will to try out, if it is possible to release the patch with spec. textures.

Did anyone test the mixture gauge?





Counter question: Where, in FSX, can you put gauges...?

(Don't disappoint me here. You haven't been simming since yesterday!)

and THAT sir, is what i like about you!,,,,id say it was a sorta kinda smartassy way of answering him...but i dont want to get into another argument with you when its not necessary,cause im laughin with ya,not at ya.....k?....
 
@Bjoern

both ways are working well - gauge in gauges-folder or in panel-folder of Soloý. Great.

A personal problem but may be of interest to others. My mouse, a Logitech G602, won't perform the wheel functions for turning on the Garmins, the two rotating light controls and the pitch bar on the AH. If I right click the 'c' on the Garmins, they come on but are dim - clicking the radio lgt control brightens them. Both light controls pop out with clicks but the panel/pedestal does nothing else. The spot on the Artificial Horizon, to adjust the pitch bar up or down, does nothing. As I said, an apparent mouse problem though it works fine otherwise.

Thomas, congratulations on creating such a wonderful aircraft, and many thanks for making it available to the community. I can see this getting a lot of use, my old C185 bush plane could be heading into retirement.

I've noticed a small point though that I haven't seen anyone else mention; in the amphibian/float version, there is a gear warning horn that goes off when the throttle is idle and the gear is not down. So if just sitting in the water, even on startup, with the engine in idle the horn is going off - presumably it shouldn't be, under these conditions? The only ways I can stop it are to increase throttle to ~10%, or put the gear down in the water. I can't find any control to silence the gear horn, nor could I find any mention in the manual. I had a look in the sound and panel files but I couldn't find anything obviously associated with the horn. Any suggestions how to stop it?

However, this is a small point and doesn't detract from a great aircraft! :applause:
 
Hello Soloy-Friends,

nearly 4.000 users worldwide just downloaded Soloy until today. But the development is not finished. I am just working on a patch. Following things are on my list:

- exterior textures with alpha
- turn coordinator animation
- yokes 90 degrees turnable
- tires: w/o gloss and more rounded
- attachMixture_tool
- lubber Bendix KI525
- gyrosound into the model
- better spinner/engine cowling (if it is possible)
- perhaps the gs-path display (if it is possible)
- Sounds - fix idle to full power
- Flap-sounds to a more realistic volume
