  • 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.

DC-4 Skymaster

For all: I deleted all the files that were no longer useful on my Dropbox and I managed to revalidate the links. However, this solution is not sustainable since this company blocks the bandwidth at 20GB, so if 20 people download at the same time, it risks recurring.

I will see if Priller agrees so that we can upload this same WIP version in the Resources section of SOH, knowing that there should at most be 1 or 2 updates to reach the final version 1.0

As for the remarks made by Gray Eagle:
- no, I will not remove the flame effects because they are too embedded in the XML code and for the following reasons:
1) these effects appear on some videos of DC-4 when starting the engines, so they are realistic​
2) the display of these effects is managed by the level of mixture; after takeoff, the mixture must be set to 10 or 15%, and under these conditions the effects disappear on their own, so if they persist, it’s because you are using the engines at full-rich level.​
- for the "tail boom", I will try to change the code so that it appears after landing when all 4 engines are off, the parking brake is engaged, and the plane is parked ...
- for the pilot with helmet ... it is just some lines in the aircraft.cfg to change:

Current aircraft.cfg PILOT section for C-54
Code: 
[PILOT]
pilot = "Pilot_Male_Military"
copilot = "Pilot_Male_Military"
instructor ="Pilot_Male_Uniform"
pilot_default_animation ="Idle1_PosePropeller","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""
copilot_default_animation ="Idle1_PosePropeller","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""
instructor_default_animation ="Idle1_PosePropeller","","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""
pilot_attach_node="PILOT_0"
copilot_attach_node="PILOT_1"
instructor_attach_node="PILOT_2"

You can change and take the lines of the DC-4 which are that:
Code: 
[PILOT]
pilot ="Pilot_Male_Uniform"
copilot ="Pilot_Female_Uniform"
instructor ="Pilot_Male_Uniform"
...

For DennyA: in fact, I have remove this repaint because I need to recreate it from scratch, I have used an old repaint for FSX finded on AVsim library but with MSFS it should be redone entirely.

Thanks Hollister for your video: this one I hadn’t managed to find ;)
