  • 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.

For Phantom Fans!

I saw this on SimWorks Studios' Facebook page.

I helped in the beta testing of the original so I know it will be right and enjoy the full benefits of this sim. looking forward to it.
 
I contacted Alex Vtlas (Simworks) this morning about the status of their Phantom. He told me that all they've done thus far is to port the files over, so eventually they can begin working on it. No set time frame for even that at this point. He told me, quote, "You can see it in the hangar or runway, but it flies like a Mooney Bravo. It just looks more ballsy." End quote.

All for now! NC
 
I can't show anything YET for obvious reasons but what I can say as i'm working the Phantastic old girl, and will stick my neck out on the line for the Phantom about it, is that i've been upscaling textures into 8K (gotta give the rivet/panel line decal guy a good guide!), On Panel lines alone I've covered the bases off of Pre KY-28 Secure Voice System/Speech Security System installation, post KY-28 install (known as Door 629), Door 19 Mod 3 variation, Door 19 Mod 5c Variation (now why would I do Door 19 Mod 5c I wonder?), all the prior antennae are still present covering a whole slew from things like Shoehorn Mods 1 & 2, AN/ALQ-126 on the intakes.... etc... if you're familiar with the SWS Phantom you're familiar with this anyway, it's a ways off yet as Alex says but it's somewhat active development while sorting the PC-12... i'm being really pedantic about Phantom and can certainly remember many evenings chatting with NavyChief about some of the little things to get it feeling like a Phantom should back on the P3D update of it! and can certainly remember talking about the PMTC Phantoms!
