    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX American Aircraft

Description: This is a re-worked version of our 2011 FSX C-47 Skytrain. The new models feature a modern VC, a realistic slow radial engine start, a paratrooper/cargo drop door, a Control Panel, a fuel and payload manager, failure conditions, improved engine textures, and new cameraviews focusing on props and engines. Sound is aliased to the default DC-3. Three Expansion Packs will become available separately from Sim-Outhouse, including a custom sound set by Ted "Tufun" Wolfgang, and a paintkit and two weathered VC texture sets by Gordon "Gman" Madison. Earlier paints need to be adjusted to catch the new nose and engine mappings (conversion kit included in this basepack). Check Takealot Specials and Woolworths Specials. Models by Manfred Jahn, flight dynamics by Alexander M. Metzger, gauges, animations, and failure conditions by Hansjoerg Naegele. Startup smoke effect by Ted Wolfgang.

Garmin 430 data outside display window

c47-GNS430-disp.jpg

I noticed after selecting approach to KCLE that the GNS 430 is placing data outside the display window.

Could this be a bad setting on my setup?

USNAVY paint

I seen this (attched screenshot) US NAVY thumbnail in the C47 base "texture" folder.

Is there a paint for this aircraft?

C47_Sound

Hello,

I've thoroughly enjoyed the C-47 v2 on P3D. When I first installed it, the switches made noise and everything in the C47_Sound folder worked fine. For some reason the sounds in this folder have stopped working. Could anyone shed some light on this? Thanks. I've installed it just as instructed to in the main sound folder.

Fuel problems

Hi All,

I must give my compliments on this project, I have really enjoyed it except for one fuel related problem I experienced on my first long flight. The problem is that once the left and right fuel tanks were empty I could not get it to switch over to the left and right aux tanks and ended up crashing at least twice before I realised what was going on.

Any help would be appreciated.
