    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.

Description: Grumman S2Turbo Military Version - FSX Native

by Milton Shupe, Scott Thomas, Tom Fliger, Nigel Richards, Rachel Whiteford, Dave Stewart and Jan Visser.

This Grumman Tracker S2T(urbo), Marsh Conversion for Military use, features Functional VC model included, includes one Aircraft with

two liveries, authentic custom sounds, and custom panels with aircraft specific gauges, and beautifully crafted exterior textures.
Bump and Spec maps supported although not added.

Tested in FSX Accel only. May need tailhook tweaks although it caught a wire fine for me.

A few more screen shots ... one good and one bad carrier landing. LOL

This is the original FS9 and FSX portover converted to FSX native SDK.

I'm an absolute slut for turbine conversions, so I'm elated that this works flawlessly in P4D! I did a bit of tinkering and now the aircraft has a bump map (courtesy of the native S2F-3, minus the nacelles which I threw together) with both paints receiving their own spec maps. Couldn't be happier with the results! Milton, my hat goes off to you and your team for creating such amazing works of art that we can all enjoy!

Figured I'd let everyone in on the bump and spec maps I've compiled for this addon. Also included are texture files that will give the prototype paint the correct window frames and hardpoints. Just drag n' drop. (fresh paint textures omitted to save space, just copy the files over)

Awesome work. Thanks.
