  • 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.

Flight Replicas Douglas DC-4/C-54/Carvair Released

I notice that for P3D v4 a separate download is required. I may be investing in v4, so do I buy the FsX version first and then if and when, repurchase for v4?

Hi Roger. The short answer is 'yes.' However, if the FSX version is installed into Prepar3D v4 it will work, but you will be missing functionality with the Carvair (modern version) and Firefighter models, be missing a few sounds, and will need to do a couple of other things such as backing up some gauges. If you can do without the Firefighter and modern Carvair, there shouldn't be too many problems. Nothing guaranteed, of course, as everything was tested separately.

Is it actually released Mike? It will let me put it into the cart, but shows a zero cost at the check out point.

It is indeed released, and sales have been going through, but I did have one other person with a problem as well. Perhaps it's with the company that operates the store (Fastspring)? If it continues, let me know and I'll get in touch with them.

Edit: Just tested PayPal and credit cards, and all appear to be working (from this end, at least). Will keep my eyes open, however.

Thanks Mike, I am not sure why, but it does not list a cost when put into the cart, and gives an error as a result. I do have a service inquiry into their support as I have never had an issue with fastspring before.


EDIT: Finally sorted, thanks Mike

Same for me too, Mike. Used two different browsers and different pay methods. No joy. Ordering the P3D V4 if that makes a difference on the issue.

Thanks, Steve. We'll have to see what FastSpring has to say. I've been through the setup from this end and all seems in order. I just went through a simulated order for both packages, twice, the first time all went well, and the second it was the FSX version that returned a $0.00. And as mentioned, some orders from others are going through without a problem.
 
On my list for Thursday. Been waiting too long for this one. Have a few paint ideas if someone does not beat me to it. By then there will probably be a paint kit available.

Thanks for reminding me, Pat. Have to get the paint kit(s) ready. I'll announce when they're available, here and on the Facebook page.
 
Thank you Mike (and Bernt) for bringing such detailed and accurate reproductions of the DC-4/C-54 line of aircraft to FSX/P3D!

Here's an early morning capture before leaving Minneapolis.

Great news on it's release :jump:

But it converts to about NZ$62 , so unfortunately it will have to wait a while before I purchase it.

I will have to wait as well.The

Does the Carvair come with an Aer Lingus
Texture ?

This one was worth the wait. It is a great rendition of this aeroplane. The level of detail and the texture quality, inside and out is simply outstanding. All my previous versions (good as they were) have now been honourably retired. I can find no faults with this model. It performs and handles like a DC-4, the systems all work, switches etc all do what they should and after many many hours in the JBK DC-4 this one fitted like a glove. I give it 10 out of 10. I wish to acknowledge the excellence of the modelling work, the textures, the coding and the way it all comes together in a simple first class package. It installed flawlessly into FSXA. The choices of variants from the DC-4, C-54 and the Carvair is simply astonishing, each as good as the other. For the money it is unbelievably good value.

To the creator a big thank you for your work. I can see many many hours of sim pleasure with the definitive FSX DC-4/C-54.

I have already spent a good half hour doing just circuits in this, enjoyed every minute of it.

If your a piston engine affecianado, heaven on a stick. I will let you all find out how good the VC is from the Captain, to Co-pilot, Radio Operator and Navigator positions and equipment all beautifully created and present.

Awesome news! That's really freaky. I hadn't heard any news of this but I was just wondering about this aircraft and it's release about an hour ago.

Thanks Mike for your great efforts. I am so happy to see so many variants included, especially the Carvair. That was a great surprise.

Cheers,
