  • 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.

IRIS Vulcan?

I had the same electrical issue described above, and believe I used a keyboard command to turn on something electric-related that didn't have a corresponding switch in the VC (or checklist). I think I found it in an old thread on here somewhere, from back when the Vulcan was first released. I don't have the IRIS Vulcan installed now since I moved to Win10 and haven't gotten around to reinstalling everything, but i think Paul K's suggested cfg edit might do the trick. It's worth a shot, anyway. I'm interested to hear if that does the trick.

EDIT: I don't think it had anything to do with my default flight. I used to load the Vulcan straight from the aircraft/flight page.
 
Ok chaps this is what I have come up with....

FSX I can "Hot Key" (as per WarHorse47 recommendations), Master Battery, Gen/ALT and Avionics which help in the stopping of shutting down the electrics after a few minutes in the air. Thus not reverting back to the original "Default" set up (that is keeping my C&D setup) I can use these hot keys to keep things going...PHEW!!!

Now for P3D -for which i was having issues too- there is no CHANCE!!! I have to revert back to the original "Default" setup. I have tried assigning "Hot Keys" in P3Dv3 too but they just do not seem to work.

So in conclusion I can now fly the IRIS Vulcan with very little trouble now thanks to you guys giving me some input. Sorry PaulK your entry into the aircraft.cfg file did not seem to work nor help.

I thank you all so very much.:jump:

Regards,
Tim.

Ah well, it was worth a punt. I found that .cfg edit in my Iris Vulcan download back-up folder, but thinking back, it was a solution to a problem I wasn't actually having. My problem was that after loading the Vulcan, and sitting in the VC, the tail strike warning would keep activating, even though the aircraft was static with everything turned off. I also had a problem with the airbrake animation, details of which I can't remember. Anyway ( and again, this is from vague memory ) there was a combination of key presses that reset everything, and from there one could commence the start-up procedure without further ado. I believe it was Ctrl+M. You might like to try that and see if it has any effect - let the Vulcan load up, let everything settle down, and before doing anything else, press Ctrl+M.

I have the Iris Vulcan installed in P3Dv3.4, but haven't really done anything with it. Still a very good model, though P3D's lighting has an odd effect on the VC instrument reflections. It might be something to do with HDR or dynamic reflections settings, so I'll tinker with it in due course. I'll let you know if I have the electrical problem too.
