  • 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.

I like the ships down there in the Channel… what Addon are these coming from? As FS9 usually doesn’t provide Ship traffic.

I’ve seen several scenerys for FS9 that included ship traffic. It uses water ports. It was definitely in the Bermuda scenery by Freeflow (if I’m not mistaken).

There a was a ship traffic in Belgium and The Netherlands. But there are same ships moving up and down Chesapeake Bay. From altitude it finally makes no great difference whether they are moving or remaining static with animated wake effect. Besides that the static version offers by far more possibilities and variations.

For example: Tongass Fjords, FREEflow Bermuda, FREEflow Bahamas, Misty Fjords, Flight Riviera, HongKong Kai-Tak, Saint Maarten TNCM,
German Airports 3, Scotflight Scotland.
If necessary, i have some more ;)

Another Great repaint which i do appreciate very much… only downpoint, are these yellow touchups on the nose which irritate me… don’t know what these are… but might be some touch ups with Zinc Chromate before repainting as the Paint chipped or simply an issue with the Alpha Channel or something… haven’t yet figuered that out.

And compared to the Real Deal: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8441903 the white / or grey “139" at the Rear is missing. Other than that, pretty cool.

Going for the Real Deal, trying to simulate it as real as it gets in those Tripple Seven Take Off Videos on Youtube.

Bonjour Michael,

Chose promise, chose due.

Ton zinc en provenance de Caen et en approche de la plage du Havre avec la l'église St-Joseph en arrière-plan. Le tout tu peux le voir ici:

Merci d'avoir fait du bon boulot.

Another nice screen shot of clouds, somewhere east of India. :indecisiveness:
082526.jpg

I took off from the Roosevelt CVN-71 (AC09) and flew 100 miles NW to the (Abby*) USS Reagan CVN-76 (AC20) for a touch-and-go/low-and-slow fly by then back home again. :wiggle: This is kind of like a formal Hand-Off ceremony when one task force relieves another, but the weather just stinks if you're thinking of doing anything fancy.

Some un-confirmed news says the USS Lincoln (which I'm shadowing) is heading to Bangkok for some R&R. I have some nice U-Tapao (VTBU) scenery to park-up for a week of mayhem :monkies: and I have some older carrier scenery for Thailand I can install but it looks like spending some quality time near the Gold Coast of Oz is out. :banghead:

*-Abacus Flight Deck 4.

Hallo friends,

just a little repaint from me of Mick Posch's Piasecki H-21C. Also I have a switch on the panel to hear the adequate music during flight LOL

Best regards

Michael

Its been another productive day. :geek:

Phuket.jpg

Since I got skunked on the Gold Coast, I set up some temporary Carriers for Thailand.

AVSIM Library

Flight simulators premier web site. Freeware, forums, community; it all comes together at AVSIM.
library.avsim.net library.avsim.net

At the bottom of the page you'll find Thailand_Aircraft_Carriers.zip by Martin Strong.
This is OLD scenery so forget about adding or fixing the AFCAD or adding AI.
Still, I can use this carrier off the coast of Phuket to launch and fly out to U-Tapao, its about 100 miles.
There's another carrier near Pattya but its way too close to land.
Both of these carriers have a hard deck, basic comms and navaids, just no ILS.
Install was pretty easy, all I did was rename the main folder to ThaiCVN then drop it in my Addon Scenery folder in FS.
Here's a quick look at my CFG entry:

[Area.157]
Title=ThaiCVN
Local=Addon Scenery\ThaiCVN
Active=TRUE
Layer=155
Required=FALSE
Remote=

Like i said, its OLD so there are no flatten BGLs, and you don't need them.
No ID to automatically drop you on either deck, but you can locate the ships kinda easily, just look for the VOR and NDB on your MAP and drag your airplane on top of them. One carrier is south southeast of Phuket Int'l and the other is due west of U-Tapao.

If you're into ARRCAB:
[ZoneXX]
CarrierIdent=CVN72 Phuket
FrontRightCornerLat=7.850335
FrontRightCornerLon=98.412272
FrontLeftCornerLat=7.850309
FrontLeftCornerLon=98.412085
BackLeftCornerLat=7.850046
BackLeftCornerLon=98.412121
BackRightCornerLat=7.850082
BackRightCornerLon=98.412313
DeckAltInFeet=70.2
CableCatchZoneHeightInFeet=2.4
RunwayHeadingInDegreesMag=353

:wiggle:

Update- While its old scenery, the more I mess around with it the more I like it.
ThaiCVNs.jpg

There is a main Airport entry for both carriers. :geek:

in the same train of thought, another is Beech 18 revamp by Thomas Wood / CR1-Software, still sold at simshack: https://www.simshack.net/products/beech-18-fsx-fs2004-347 but also (previously) available as freeware from the official (now defunct) CR1-Software website; thankfully web archive managed to save the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20220819234136/http://cr1-software.com/addons/beech-18-revamp/

cheers!

not wanting to dig up another old topic, but continuing in that line of thought, found another: Nick Ryall's Southwest England Landmark Scenery published by Visual Flight and still available for sale on simmarket https://secure.simmarket.com/vf-n.-ryall-southwest-england-landmark-scenery.phtml

However, it was also previously available as freeware from flightsim, per https://freewarescenery.com/fs2004/uk.html under Non Airport Sceneries with the description South West scenery. Lighthouses, bridges, windfarms, ancient monuments and other notable landmarks and the currently defunct link http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?do=search&fname=nrswe11a.zip

In any case, Nick's SW scenery can still be downloaded - free - from (the now archived page of) Shep's Shed https://web.archive.org/web/20090706155031/http://www.shepsshed.com/bits.htm --> per web archive, available as freeware since at least summer 2009

cheers!
