    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.

FS2004 Screenshots Here!!!

My next project

I realised that not too many people will have the FSC Wellington and it even has more mistakes than this one. And perhaps most important, which is free.

Found this old thing in an abandoned old paint shop hanger.

Old? definitely (2006)! Abandoned? No!

Interesting liveries again Steve! But Stuart Green's Fokker D.Vii is by far the best Fokker D.VII available for FS9 (and the only on?)

Cheers,
Huub

PC Aviator still has a lot of FS2004 models available at their site: https://www.pcaviator.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=39

Looking on their site, I see the "old" VRS Superbug (F/A-18E) is still available for FS2004. :wiggle:

While its slightly pricey for FS9 payware, us beggars can't be choosers like we used to.

Has anyone installed this on a modern (Win 10) OS and does it work?
Meaning, if I'm running Win 10 (64 bit) and have FS9.1 installed directly to my C drive, is this just a heartache waiting to happen?
Likewise, it looks like a configuration program also gets installed for the load-outs and some of the flight options. How much of a hassle is it?

They mention it taking a while to load up, is this a first time/install load up or every time you start the sim?

Lastly, is it a CPU cycle hog and can you just jump in a light the fires?
I have the Bear Studios SU-30 and its a great add-on, the problem is that I don't fly it a lot. I still haven't finished reading all of the manual. :biggrin-new:

I guess my worry comes from the write-up on the site. I'm pretty sure VRS concentrated more on the FSX/Acceleration version. :indecisiveness:

So, the short answer is NO, DON'T BUY IT.
The problem is that the download needs to be registered with VRS to unlock all the goodies (virt. cockpit, effects, etc.) but VRS no longer supports the FS9 version of the Bug. :banghead:
So, you can't register the software because the online address is dead which means that you're stuck with what could best be described as a DEMO MODE.
Still, its a nice sound set (which will be pillaged for other aircraft) and the external 3D model looks good.
I'll still flog on the files later and play around with them but I had that feeling going in that this was going to be one of those experiences with over-protected payware that was meant for 10 years ago. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.. :rolleyes:

Update- After some goofing around to test the sound file on the good old KBT F/A-18E and F, I found some other goodies that got installed. I now have some new traffic flying around a bunch of the standard carriers (Carriers 2006, Alpha's Big E, etc.) and I want to dig into my effects folder to see what got installed there. :playful: So, I still wouldn't recommend buying the Superbug for the aircraft but I also didn't get snookered that much.

Dynamic effect activation

Nothing wrong here! Just a test whether the effects and right textures came up when I deliberately blew up my engine...........

Feel free to blame me, but I personally consider it encouragement :biggrin-new:

Funny enough I have been flying more or less the same aircraft. I have enjoyed the timeless Hunter model by Dave Garwood.

However it was a different Spitfire which I flew. Also still a stunning model. It is over 15 years ago when I bought the model. It was one of the models I purchased from the now long gone Jersey based firm play.com. Its a real pity they are gone as they were quite cheap as you didn't have to pay the VAT. (I guess the central government in the UK didn't like that :biggrin-new:)

New textures by UncleTgt for Shessi's Catalina. (they are for cfs2, but also work perfect in FS9)

UT does some great tex, and those pics are nicely atmospheric.

And..I'm in the process of finally putting the PBY-5A amphibian together...so there'll be another one to play with...

Hi Vinci,

No doubt about the fact ACWai's Me262 is great, however the one in my picture is the (payware) Flight Replicas Me262. The repaint for the T-33 is a repaint done by HenryW, who has done several very nice repaints for the T-33. They are all available here in the library. Just do a search on the userid HenryW. However they are done for FSX, so to use them you need to reduce the size to 1024x1024 and you need to convert them from (flipped) .dds format into extended .bmp format.

Cheers,
Huub
