  • 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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Gloster Meteor F. Mk.8

I hope the gunsight will be collimated, not like addons from FS2002-2004 ;) :

Well, to be fair, you're only reinforcing his concern ... :a1310::biggrin-new:

Just kidding.

Looking forward to this - 50s jets are always welcome, and with a broad repaint potential, should hopefully do well for you.

Best regards,

The F.8 Meteor is a classic. I often go to Temora Aviation Museum http://www.aviationmuseum.com.au/index.html to watch their Meteor fly. Beautiful aircraft, superb in flight.

At a special throttle setting the Meteor on fly-by produces special sound, called a 'Blue Note'. It's a really odd. deep rumble. Gives me chills every time I hear it.

Bazz, will the Aeroplane Heaven Meteor produce this sound? Please, please say yes! :applause:
 
The model looks really great!

Normally the virtual cockpits of the JF/AH models are already reason enough for me to purchase them. They somehow give me the feeling of really being there.

Cheers,
Huub

That sound you are referring to is the harmonics that are created by air flow -at a particular speed- over the shell casing dispenser tubes located under the fuselage.

She is quite a sound indeed.

Anybody knows if the F.8 version that was used by FAB (Brazil Air Force) is the F. Mk.8? Any differences? I think it is but i´m not familiar with the "Mark's" conversion. Thanks.

I believe that the Brazilian Air Force did the have F.8s. In 1952 the received 60 F.8s and 10 T.7s.

The only noticeable thing to me is the that the Brazilian Air Force Meteors had the larger engine intake cowl -this model has the smaller one. Australia had changed their Meteors to the larger intake too.

Cheers,
Tim.
