    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 Designs F-14 A/B Tomcat is OUT

Congrats for the release Dean.
What is the current status regarding the collimated HUDs ? Is it still impossible ?

Still impossible, but I'm hoping that the Top Gun DLC Super Hornet will bring that into MSFS so we can update the F-15s and F-14s to match.
 
Land on deck

Congrats for the release. Looks tempting.

A question, if I may. I read the Manual and I noticed your F-14 can land on a aircraft carrier deck.

But is there any suitable aircraft carrier available for MSFS ?

Thanks

The HDS Carrier module is on sale at Just Flight and is what I tested the F-14s with, it's pretty good ( although static ) scenery and allows catapult launches and traps. There are also some freeware carrier sceneries and apps out there, but I have not tested those.

There is at least one freeware scenery with a name sounding like "aircraft carrier pack" (I don't have it in mind anymore) that can be downloaded from flightsim.to.
There is also a freeware utility program called Kinetic Assistant that can simulate the cables and catapults on aircraft carriers.
 
Hi Dean,

They're not switched on in your image, Zsolt. ( Lights are on the right hand side panel, labelled "Formation Lights" )

Maybe turn them OFF by default via the *.FLT files. They should only be "ON" blue/green at night.
The IFE MB-339 has the same "problem" which i solved this way.

Cheers,

Marcel
