  • 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.

Dune Film Update

Trash, even if it is free, its download is occupying part of my MSFS and I don't care to have it there.

it's NOT a GAME! it's a SIMULATOR !!
 
Tough crowd here, huh?

I must have been the only person who looked at the Ornithopter in Dune and thought "I bet that would be cool as all heck to fly"

I have learned today that I was absolutely correct. Can't beat the view out the side windows, really.
 
I'm a proponent - I really do hope Fallout Vertibirds get some love in MS..
being optional I expect this kind of content to attract more people than it chases away.

I'm with you. I love flying the sim realistically, but I'm also up for a bit of downright fun. I mean, it's not very realistic for me to scoot through the Grand Canyon at low level in my F-14 either, really; but darned if it isn't exciting. The Dark Star is fictional, too; and I've had great fun at hypersonic speeds in that one. I've also enjoyed other "what if" planes and flights (the very fun Scrapyard Monster comes to mind). If you're a purist, that's fine, too.

Personally, I've always wanted the dropship from Aliens in the sim with an orbital launch so I can say, "we're in the pipe -- five by five," while screaming through storm clouds. For now, I'll settle for the Ornithopter. :wiggle:
 
There seem to be some issues with the install as per some of the msfs forum threads. Control profiles are changed. I've noticed that when pressing pause, I get a fixed rear camera view, whereas before I could move around the aircraft. "Y" keyboard key no longer allows me to slew the aircraft. Not happy, not happy at all.
 
WARNING! If you install this addon, it will NUKE many of your control settings which you will have to re-bind. It took out all my Trim assignments, most views, and a number of other things. Asobo screwed this one up VERY badly! Infuriating isn't the word. Oh, and uninstalling won't revert things back.

Good info - and good thing I didn't plan on installing...
 
The issue has been reported, so far it looks like the claimed fix fails to work. I guess there was no beat testing? SMH...

As in: the saved profile is altered, and cannot be reverted??
If yes, then I will become an ornithopter expert until MS2024 is released :)
