  • 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.

Much of the standard paints are 1024....and the paintkit is 2048 ...so here's a WIP of importing one into the larger format with separated layers for all the tweaks....
The 'light camo' is plain...the dark has the painted shadow still [which is redundant in Bjoern's FSX ver]...and the alpha is 0,0,0
Ignore the identity crisis ...;)

What ifs can be....entertaining.
OK, so this one isn't going to happen...but it's all fun...;)

Now that would be a first-class ride!


Fuel governing stuff is implemented now. I have also started a manual, but during writing the systems-related sections, I got sidetracked by the environmental control systems and the NAV radio and... :dizzy:
So much to do, so little time!
 
The radio system got a complete overhaul. No more NAV1 only, but the whole shaboodle. NAV1, NAV2, ADF, Transponder. All with a single HSI, a single display, a single switch, a single button and two knobs. I'm a bit proud of myself.
The entire Environmental Control System was also overhauled. The process was a PITA bar none and it's not even really relevant as you don't have to worry about cabin pressure and temperature in a mere flight simulator, but it offers a few more opportunities for warning lights and switch-flicking.


The manual has 22 pages so far. And I'm not done.
 
Looking forward to all the new bits in the model...;)

Meanwhile...am seeing what can be added to the high res paints.....

The Snowbirds was a rework of another's paint...put into the higher res paintkit...
Here's a Vietnam-inspired colouring - needs details to suit - I'll get around to it eventually...;)

Yo Jafo, can I have that SEA paint with a civvie reg?

And that Snowbird paint looks good! Just need to watch out to not pull too many negative Gs (because engine flameout).


Update is coming to a close (I hope).

Here you go...

Authentic colours for SEA ...with a civie reg .

I probably need a break from this one paintkit too....chasing the 'yellow' trim around the canopy is always a killa ...;)
