  • 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.

Dove for sale! 544 careful owners

AvAngel has just put an initial review up on YT.
I have left after 1/2 of it to update the Dove, but she is flying along with an engine cowl open & can't [at that stage], figure out how to close it.

Now flying update version, very smooth & AP is holding ALT & HDG.
Still can't get the Prop levers to move, could be my controls as I saw them move in the AvAngel video.
Are the Mixture & Cowl flap sliders functional, & move?
Mine don't, yet

Updated model available with improvements to interior textures (does not affect repaints ) and better throttle response.
The Dove had constant speed props, advanced for its day, if anyone can tell me how to model them accurately I'd be glad to hear from you!

Thanks Rob - lovely model!
 
Looking for some help re some of the controls in the Dove
Love the model, very retro, & would like to be able to get a few more controls moving.

The Prop levers, the Mixture Control levers & the Cowl Flap levers - in each case if I hover the mouse pointer over them I get a readout of the lever function & current % setting, however the pointer does not turn to the "hand', which lets me left click/hold & drag the lever, such as I can do with the throttles.
Any suggestions appreciated. & AvAngel did get the engine cowling shut eventually, by going to an outside view & clicking on it.

Thank you Rob for an update, and for being humble enough to ask for help on the props. THAT is a mark of maturity, and a great example for many. (myself included).

Jan Kees, I love the NZ repaint you are doing. In FaceBook I'd tried to send you a link as a nice reference for British military repaints, and as you know it attached the wrong URL. Here is the one I meant to send you. https://modelingmadness.com/scott/decals/caracal/72/cd72079.htm

 
I ended up doing another Fairey Survey Ltd aircraft, G-AMKS, below.

I've also spotted some omissions with G-AKSS , so I'll be updating it at flightsim.to :redface-new:

Excuse me, August, but how do i know i'm looking at the new textures ? The link in Rob's first post doesn't work. I just went into the SOH lib and downloaded the Dove again, removed the first install and installed the newly downloaded file. I don't think i see any new textures ?....

Any tips/hints highly appreciated ! :)

I admit I did the same thing and all of the textures look the same. +1 to this question.
 
Same external livery textures as the one I downloaded from Rob's site last fall. Plus one new livery. Still a great plane.
