  • 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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Well, having the nose wheel react to lateral velocity is intended and good...but not in the air.

Or throw your computer out the window. Or...

You don't, if you put enough effort into the throw.

Ah, but there-in lies the problem...
This is a new computer....it's a Thermaltake Level 10 Limited edition....and the case alone weighs 50lb ...and that's without a PSU....so the whole critter weighs as much as a small planet....;)

The F-4 had the aerodynamics of a brick, yet that didn't stop it from going mach 2+. So get a pair of J79s and get it done!


By the way: I always thought your USAF skins on a czech trainer in private hands were a neat, fictituous idea, but there really seem to be people out there who have their L-39s in US military markings...:dizzy:

Why most of these markings are USN is, however, a total mystery to me.
 
Shall have a go at the Playboy one first...;)

What happens when you plonk that jpg into the paintkit...

Of course....when you have a look at it...the Bunny isn't exactly the Playboy one....ears are different....

That's a bit better...;)
Now if I can work out the pilot/owner names I'll add 'em too...;)
...and whether or not that chevron stripe continues on the underside...can't find a U/S shot as yet.

A potentially colossally stupid question: is there any chance of getting this improved and bug fixed version ported back to FS9?
 
This one's done...and whilst SOH was offline I've been busy revising my paintkit/graphics... though it's still way to big to upload yet....about 800 meg ...;)
Found all the pilot/owner/ground crew names...;)

That's a valid question.

Yes, it's possible to port all this back to FS9 with a bit of effort. Change the formatting of some gauges back to FS9, convert all the textures back into FS9 supported formats and convert the model back into a FS9 compatible format. As with a FS9 -> FSX conversion, however, the latter will take a lot of effort and time. And for that reason, I won't do it. I've after all already (metaphorically) walked from Dallas to Phoenix. Why should I walk back again?
