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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
DH.88 Comet FSX Conversion

I *think* I have managed to attach the 'airplane' folder. No effects, but these should be stock. View attachment DeHavilland_Comet.zip
I'm sad that the site there is gone, not one I checked often, but glad I found it. The Jeannin Taube is probably my favourite low and slow aeroplane just because it is so underpowered it feels so realistic.

Hi Matt,
Thank you for the files.
I had downloaded Craig's DH88 base pack years ago, and only pulled it up now, to find it was corrupted.
Now I've loaded your files up to the sim for a look. The plane displays mostly okay, but the glass panels have the anomaly of background clouds & trees breaking through the surface texture. It's typical of another FS9/FSX Comet conversion that's kicking around the internet.. (D.Grindele).
I thought Craig's conversion might have addressed the issue. (I am running "Acceleration" and "DX10 Fixer"....maybe that's the deal breaker.....)
He has a later pack that expands his initial conversion, featuring updated mdl's for a French and Australian aircraft. I have that file in good shape; The transparency problems are fixed, but he's reversed the prop rotation. Not a big issue if you don't watch too closely at startup/shutdown.....and deal with the reversed swing on take off without getting emotional.....
Ahhh...we can't always get what we want.....but we fly what we need.....(eh?)
Your kind provision much appreciated, Sir!

Ah, I think you're right. I'm sure that file came from Craig's site, but that would have been a long time ago and I know there was a newer version which I didn't download. I hope you manage to find it. He did conversions of all the FS9 aircraft as I recall, at least the vintage ones.
