  • 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.

FH2 Banshee ab effect

Sorry, Rob! I hope I haven't created a mess by my monkeying around and adding the burner ring effect to the Banshee. Great plane to fly, as always! I know the Banshee had no afterburners (reheats) in real life, but I have always liked the burner ring effect.:wavey:

I had no idea the burner flame could be seen in normal flight, thanks to Mike for that information.

I think the throttle on my stick may of been a little sensitive to the fast forward movements and if I slowly advance the throttle the burner rings light up.
Same thing in reverse, lights will go out with slow regress.

Maybe it's not the throttle device...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

"The following, if severe enough, can cause stalling or surging.


  • Aircraft operation outside its design envelope; e.g., extreme flight manoeuvres resulting in airflow separations within the engine intake, flight in icing conditions where ice can build up in the intake or compressor, flight at excessive altitudes.[SUP][3][/SUP]
  • Engine operation outside its flight manual procedures; e.g., on early jet engines abrupt throttle movements (slam acceleration) when pilot's notes specified slow throttle movements. The excessive over-fuelling raised the operating line until it met the surge line. (Fuel control capability extended to automatically limit the over-fuelling to prevent surging)."

One more thing that may/not be enabled in the next-gen sim that will have to be learned by coders and pilots?
 
I have installed Rob's burner effect and it seems to work well! A tiny bit flamey on the starboard engine in close up view, but works like a champ!

Don't know if Jankees mentioned it here, but his P3D repaints work well for the FSX model.
