  • 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.

FSX: The 1940 Fokker T.5 bomber released

I think next big step is electrical system. In fact, I only need to have:
- A logic systems behaviour: electric systems won't work when there's not (enough) electricity;
- A working charging-discharging total load amps gauge (same kind of thing have me headache with my D.21);
- Generator 1 and 2 amps gauge
- Main bus voltage gauge
- Fiveway switch: Battery, Gen 2, Both Gen, Gen 1, Off.

That's it. Item 2 is the most difficult, I guess. And there's the fact that I don't fully understand electricity yet... (don't tell anybody)

Anyway, I've also been playing with sounds. I recorded them from a 25-year old radio, a YT video about Russian helicopters, a bottle of wine and a bicycle lock. To show the plane in action, I made a video. Somehow Fraps completely spoiled my framerate, sometimes even reducing it from 25 to 2! That's why the landing isn't perfect.

Thanks guys!

Well, a release date... It's difficult since the VC would consist of the complete interior of the aircraft, since all crew compartments were connected and not physically separated. I finished the nose section and the radio compartment. Need to do the tailgunner completely and the mid gunner partly.

However, beta isn't far away! I might consider an open beta.

Hi there,

I just posted there is a beta kinda planned. Got already one offer for testing, and that made me thinking.

If there are people who want to test things, let me know. Preferably experience in beta testing, airplanes of the era, or even Dutch.

Cheers, Daan
 
I currently have no ongoing beta projects, so if you need any help... Not a lot of free time currently but for the T.V I'll try to make some time.

1. Google Drive decided to stop their hosting services. So I should try another thing.
2. First official beta is being distributed tonight! I'm curious for the results. So gentlemen, please expect a WeTransfer! ;-)

no pictures but as proud and (hopefully experienced) beta tester i can say WOW that looks great,but more over fly's right ( so not that easy boy's ) to that 1930'2 time ( to all my knowledge) .Only problem is if you like planes with more then one round engine you get a bit adicted to it

my five cents

Whoow! she's a beauty, my dad build me one out of wood, carton, paper, wire and plastic when I was youngster. The wingspan of that model must have been something like 1.20 meter:untroubled:.
I am really looking forward to taking the virtual one to the skies the best of 35 years later :applause:
 
That's interesting Marijn! Do you still have it ;)

Guys (especially beta people), here's a question, regarding new floor textures: do these look better than the ones in the beta? (raw shot from blender)

I'm rearranging the interior textures... Lots of work.
