    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.

Fokker D.21 conversion for MSFS2020

Nice shots guys, I recognise Bakkum, Haarlem and Uitgeest, but why doesn't anyone ever fly over Noordwijk or Voorhout?


Cheers,
Huub

I couldn't remember where you live exactly, Huub, but I'm sure you heard me overhead.

and a visit to ESA-ESTEC, where my wife worked at the time:

Thanks Jan Kees, highly appreciated :encouragement:. My house is on several shots amd the area is very recognisable. It is a pity the lighthouse and the large churches in Noordwijk en Voorhout are missing as these are nice landmarks.

The shot from ESA-ESTEC is appreciated as well as I will be there again tomorrow. Due to Cocid-19 only a very select group of people is still present..... At first glance ESA-ESTEC looks very good, but when you look closer you see MSFS had problems with the correct building height. And a building which was still under construction has received a very odd look.

I think I heard you flying over the area earlier, but I didn't recognise the sound of the mercury engine :biggrin-new:

Cheers,
Huub
 
I made this photograph there:

There we go again guys:

I've posted a video illustrating the click-spot problem in the hope we can get to the bottom of it..

All the clickable locations are over-ridden by either the window open or cockpit open click-spots.
At 2:12+ the cockpit is opened and drops away, taking it's click-spot with it and making all the click-spots on the LH side suddenly work as intended :)
Opening the windows has no effect as the click-spot doesn't move.

Cheers
Keith

Keith,

Thanks for that!

Reading the story by Didier, I doubt if we get it sorted now. I might shed some light on the hierarchy. @lagaffe, does it matter what the original size is of the clickspot (in FSX) was? The clickspots of the canopy are of course on large objects, but I'm curious if a simple, small switch clickspot will also cover the entire screen.

Cheers, Daan
 
Daan,
is this a restoration project of a "real" airframe? Or a complete rebuild? Man, now I want that real one so bad on my balcony:redfire:

The last time I came across it I only knew about the Fokker G1 project, totally slipped my observation there was this beauty in progress!!!

Regards
Alex

Alex,

It's a complete rebuild, although using a number of original parts. You could say, it's a new Fokker D.21.
They have a Facebook page ;)
 
The Power button of the Aerosoft K-21 covers the whole screen, so Yes :(
Cheers
Keith

That is a pity.

The only workaround would be, IF we can discover some logic on what clickspot covers first, to make a one-way clickspot. Something like a small polygon with a visibility condition. Click once, and it disappears, and the clickspot with it. Probably.
 
I confirm, my click-spot are the yoke stem guide and I have the problem.

I try also to modifiy and use the Cessna logo (a little square on the panel) and it is the same ...
I try whith a square in the longitudinal direction and in the perpendicular direction and it is always the same results.
 
Thanks Didier!

Guys, I need to focus on the T.5 which enters beta now.
So for now I won't change anything to the D.21.:engel016:

Cheers, Daan
 
I took the Fokker D.21 to the air in FS2020 last night. And I had so much fun, that I didn't realize it was 3:15am by the time I looked at the clock, whoops.

Thanks to Daan for an amazing airplane, and to Priller for brining it to FS2020.

A wonderful conversion. There's only one flaw I find, that flutter in the rudder. But getting by that, she's a delight to fly.
 
Fokker D.21 Port

Very nice. I was able to fly it and it is a delight to fly. I was able to shut it down by pulling the mixture.
 
I have not flown in FS2020 in quite some time.

I just updated the simulator, and tried to take the Fokker D21 out for a spin.

But as soon as I hit Fly now the sim does a CTD.

Am I missing something?
