  • 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.

Info for those who use VLSO

I have managed to acquire the data to add three aircraft to use with VLSO (Simworks Phantom, Milviz Phantom, and Razbam A-7).

The settings window within VLSO looks like this:

Here is the data:

Simworks Phantom

ATC Model: F4
Type: Phantom
Name: F4B Phantom

Angle of Attack
Slow: 10.50
Fast: 8.50

Distance Abeam
Close: 0.08
Fast: 1.20

Razbam A7

ATC Model: A7
Type: SLUF; (Short Little Ugly Fellow)
Name: F4B Phantom

Angle of Attack
Slow: 8.00
Fast: 6.00

Distance Abeam
Close: 0.07
Fast: 1.20

Milviz Phantom

ATC Model: mv_phantom_J
Type: Phantom
Name: F4J Phantom II

Angle of Attack
Slow: 10.50
Fast: 8.50

Distance Abeam
Close: 0.08
Fast: 1.20


Note: I read a post on the Milviz forum by someone who had added the Milviz F4 to VLSO, and he had to add some info into the aircraft.cfg file [General] section, which is this:

atc_type=McDonnell_Douglas
atc_model=mv_phantom_J
performance=
Category=airplane


Hope this works for everyone! I am still learning a lot about VLSO. Btw, I received word from the creator of VLSO that a new version (not a update) should be released next month (August). Cheers. NC

Thanks chief, it takes getting used to using this but for someone to take all this trouble for freeware, its worth the effort and gratitude to him.
 
Thanks for posting those up NC. I've been reading over the A-6E and EA-6B NATOPS on avialogs.com, need to convert from displayed units on the AoA gauge to the degrees required of vLSO. Only "on-speed" units are listed, not the fast/slow range.

Sure thing, and thanks again. Sorry I did not give you credit in my initial post, but I DID do so on my FSDreamteam forum! Pete
