  • 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.

Hard to land??

I fond the Cloud9 Phantom so hard to land keeps stalling.

No, it's just a different technique needed. You have to fly by the aoa indexer, keeping constant rate of descent
@ 150 knots ias, flaps down, speedbrakes out and high power. Think of it as trying to catch a wire on a carrier, it's a no flare landing.

If you go to Avsim, search a Phantom package done by Kazunori Ito and Nick Karatzides, was for 02 originally, but ok in 2004.
Nick was a F4 pilot in Greek air force, package includes a how to land an F4 tutorial.

My first post on this forum, so i wanted to say hello.

Some fun flying above Austria with the North American B-25 Mitchell after reinstalling a classic fs2004.

Everything looks great :sneakiness:

Hey Pete,

What do you use for water textures and other liquidness? what does your lakes and tropicals look like? you seem to have hit the spot for oceans.

OO, now you're asking... I've modded and tweeked so much I've lost track of what I have and haven't done, but basically I started with
the most recent sets by Bill Lyons and separately Peter Wilding (all available at Flightsim.com in misc. section) , then added different env maps until I found one that I liked, and same for the OceanHeightField.bmp (which gives you the waves motion); all a bit of trial and experimentation really. The main thing to note is what looks good on my system won't necessarily look same on yours, different graphics cards process differently, as do the monitor/screen display them.
