  • 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.

F-18, F-15, or ? Can't relocate it.

A few days ago, on one of the MSFS forums I belong to, I swear I saw that someone had ported either a F-18, or maybe a F-15? The external model looked great, and so did the VC, although (as is typical) most, if not all, the gauges did not work. Still, it looked nice. Now I can find that post.

Anyone else here see it? Thanks, NC
 
Think both the Iris and MilViz F-15s can be converted - but anything relying on MFDs isn't really worth the effort as they don't work...older models are much more rewarding.

Here is a cockpit video of landing the Cougar at KSAN, almost all the gauges work (one gauge on the coaming is U/S, the machmeter and engine gauges are out of calibration)
Even the weapon switches work as intended and select external stores.
The flight model is not as good as a native MSFS plane...but it's beautiful...landing was pretty ropey, partly my fault - too high and kept speedbrakes out to keep speed down, so not by the book.

Conversion was pretty simple, I'd be happy to work it through.

Cheers
Keith
