  • 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.

G7-C1AX New Repaints

Looking forward to your uploads.
I recently got the SWS Midway add-on - hoping I can learn some basics of carrier ops in this aircraft.
 
Carrier Quals

Don't forget to download vLSO and install it. You start practicing at FCLP Fields with your vLSO. I think that Carquals were in the T-28 Trojan. You can get Piglets free online or Ant makes a superb payware version as long as you're not flying P3DV4. He has a free download but its an underpowered T28A not a B or C which is what the Navy used. of course you can use the US2A definitely if you want to.

I point out that in a prop, one difference is that they take a"cut" at the ramp and a "high dip" - yes, even up to the last days of their use. Totally different from a jet landing. The Turboshaft E-2/C-2 do not take a cut and dip - they are flown like a jet. The Mirror/FLOLS had "cut lights" on top for this. They are still maintained (last I knew) for barricade arrestments - you take a cut going into the barricade vice going to full power. Obviously no good idea trying to go around with it wrapped around you --
 
thank you

Thanks, Mike71. I always appreciate your real life inputs to our flight sim threads. My experience landing on a "flat top" is strictly in the sim though as you know I had 1000's of real landings and takeoffs "over my head" LOL. My jobs were to be sure none of those guys got lost on the way back to the boat until CATCC took over and then Marshall and last deployment in Southeast Asia was keeping CTF 77/Cardiv 2 up to date with everything that was going on. Busy watches!
