    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.

F-105F Thunderchief in FSX

Is there a way to have an F-105F in the Alphasim Thunderchief in FSX? I found an F model from OBIO which seems to be for the freeware FS9 F-105 which does not portover very well.
 
An -F or -G model Thunderchief? I second that!!

And sadly no, there is no double seater Thunderchief in the native FSX Alphasim Thunderchief.

Hi - there is an FSX native conversion of the old Alphasim F105 (including the "F" model) by D Garnier on Simviation - filename F-105D_Thunderchief_FSX_Native.zip
 
Which contains sounds made by Butch/Grey Eagle? Now I'm really interested!

Maybe this can be merged with the VC of the native FSX model by Alphasim. :jump:

EDIT: bit disappointed.

It's on hold while I work on some other things, but I'm about 75% done with a Tacpack conversion of the Alphasim F-105D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWy74AbMFMo

The main issues that need to be sorted out are:

Getting all of the M117's to release (all other bombs work fine).
Fixing the load-out manager (some of the pods and missiles won't work with it).
Adding the AA missile rails to the load-out manager.
Correcting the 2d weapons panel Master Arm switch (it's reversed).
Setting the gun elevation.

There are also some more weapons I'd like to add to it as well.

Once complete, it should work for FSX and P3Dv4.x but, since it's payware, it will need to be a "do it yourself" kit. I'll supply the the necessary files..... tacpack.ini, etc... along with the weapons, pylons and textures....but the user will need use McX to merge their model with the parts I made.

Great video. What ever happened to this project? Was it ever finished? Is the Tacpack Thunderchief available somewhere for download? Which F-105F is recommended? :very_drunk:
 
I still plan to finish it, but I got hospitalized with bad case of COVID / double pneumonia. Then, to make matters worse, my development hard drive crashed.
Once I get my data sorted out, I plan to get back on it.
