    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.

Ziet er goed uit/looks good

Thank you! Re-did the wheels, Reworked the fuselage struts, reworked the tailskid, made the townend ring and the exhaust optional with a switch and animated the landing gear. This baby is almost ready to leave the nest! One final thing: she will only start with Control+E, wich I don't like but don't know how to solve.

What happens when you try to manual start? Is it like a sluggish cranking action and then no start? I have found

that if the engine is not starting under manual, I would usually ajdust these 2 parameters in the aircraft.cfg.

[piston engine]

normalized_starter_torque......make it a little more
idle_friction_scaler......make it a little less

Well, I'll be d*mned! This worked like a charm! Thank you MrZippy! This post gets you mentioned in the readme! :biggrin-new:

The light struts look nice on the model, but I must confess I love the later version with Townend ring and the long exhausts...

White 9 "Seemann" from 7./JG53, for the Flight Replicas Bf109 G6 is available in the library. Get it while it is still hot.

The screenshots are all work in progress, so the final repaint is different in some details.

Perhaps white 3 flown by Obfw. Günther Seeger will join in the near future giving the 7./JG53 a small majority again......

But very nice shots Bob, and thanks for sharing and your interest in my repaints.

Cheers,
Huub

PS I noticed you are flying the repaints on the Bf-109 G6 with the DF Loop antenna. However 7./JG53 flew the early version without this device.
