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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

Andy, the tire diameters/radius would be handy. 
I think I'm close but on a MDL this old its hard to tell.
I wish I could talk to Kaz, I'm pretty sure he used the old trick of building the basic MDL in Flight Shop (the OG MDL design software) then used another program called Scenery And Object Designer (again, OG design software) to make some extra stuff, then glue it all together with a hex editor.
I'm still trying to tune the damping ratio, that takes time and small changes can make a big difference.
Its a lot more stable on the ground but it still wanders like a sailor on shore leave. At least it doesn't tip over.
This is the fun part, the little tweaks take time but they pay off.

not to deviate but if interested, there is also a more detailed one (albeit only clean) by Kimitaka Nishida, Atsushi Terui / Coral-FLT https://www.flightinfo.jp/coral/f-15hangar.html complete with panel and VC and also available at simviation https://simviation.com/1/search?sub...hida,+Atsushi+Terui+/+Coral-FLT&categoryId=31Well, Kaz did at least ONE fighter with a VC. The F-15 Strike Eagle/Mud Hen.
cheers!

A superb model, much better than the Iris F-15, imo. The only frustration is that the donationware F-15DJ is no longer obtainable, that was equally good; i bought it at the time but, of course, it has gone the way of my other backups.
Yet another one of those models vanished into the ether.
