    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.

Engine Type changes

Yesterday, I picked up the Aerosoft SeaHawk & JayHawk. Not bad, but a little outdated.

The one thing that I didn't care for was the sounds. Not robust enough. So I set about finding some replacement sounds. As it turns out the replacement sounds didn't work as expected. Unlike my other helos, this one was setup with an engine_type=1 (Jet) instead of engine_type=3 (Helo-Turbine). Once I changed the engine type the replacement sounds worked fine.

Although the SeaHawk/JayHawk seem to fly fine, I was wondering if I should have taken another approach? Or perhaps I need to look at updating or swapping out some other parameters in the aircraft.cfg? I read somewhere that changing the engine type also affects some other parameters, but am not sure just what.

Thought I might throw out these questions to some of the experts in the forum who might be able to shed some more light on these parameters or other 'mild' mods to this product.

Thanks in advance.
 
WH,

You may find more info on Hovercontrol about small mods to this model as it is an older one based off the FS9 version. I have a whole list of changes that will probably never see the light of day.
 
Thanks Victory.

Been there. Done that. :dizzy:

Didn't find any specific mods to this product, but did find some related discussions. There appears to be some correlation with the fuel_flow_scalar setting based on the engine_type. My other similar (Blackhawk) helos have different settings, so its hard to make any adjustments without knowing precisely what works best.

Anyway, I've been doing all sorts of flights today and haven't encountered any issues. Still sounds great with the new sounds.

Cheers :very_drunk:
