  • 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.

JSS C-160 (My take on this new model)

New in library. This repaint shows South African Air Force VFW C-160Z 337 in 1999. C/n Z4 build 1969. The South African Air Force operated nine C-160's from 1969 until budget restrictions forced their retirement in 1993. This Transall was preserved and remains on display with the SAAF Museum at Swartkop. The eight remaining airframes were stored at Swartkop until scrapping commenced in late March 2009, having previously been stripped of all valuable components.

Nice, will definitely add this one to the fleet.
 
Hi, bought this recently and it seems I have some sort of troubles to start up the engines. I follow up the checklist to point that APU is running, but when I set the main start switch on, fuel pumps on -there is no ready light above the start switches. Starter can be heard but there is no life on rpm or egt gauges. Moving condition levers forward does not fire the engine. Only thing I can point out is that I haven´t found the battery 2 switch, can it be electrical?
 
Further investigations point to the fact that this product seems to be abandoned by its producers. I bought mine from PC Aviator and their exe is version 1b as the Flight1 sells version 1 c. Upgrade seems to be impossible and earlier versions had obviously electric bugs.

You can get the upgrade to version 1c by visiting the JSS web site and clicking on the "Service Packs" tab at the top of the page:

Wow! The link was connecting to the JSS site yesterday (I tested in the preview).

Admins: you had better take that link down.

I guess the JSS site may be compromised. That's where the upgrade to 1c is, but what you may get if you try to
download now might be anyone's guess.

Strange, when I click on the link above, I reach the scam page.
But if I search for JSS-simulations on google, click on it, then navigate to the service packs from their home page, it works. I don't understand what's going on :/
 
I also get sent to the Canadian online drug store with that link.

The address still says "http://jss-simulations.com/service-packs/"

All links even from google chrome search results are also sending me to the online drug store.

If I use the link from Flight 1's JSS Simulations page I can get to the proper site. Very strange.
 
I think it's a re-direct cookie or some such that somehow got inserted. That's why I asked the admins to take the link down.

Too long pause between type rating. Any idea why I get compressor 1 & 2 oil warning alarm after 10-15 min after take-off?

It's been a while since I've "flown" it. If I remember correctly, the compressor oil switches should be in "Auto" for ground use, and "Normal or On" for flight. If the power is reduced too a low setting the compressor oil lights will illuminate. Should not pose a problem during climb or cruise. But you have to plan your descent accordingly so you can keep engine power high enough to keep the lights extinguished. Luckily, the C160 has speed brakes and relatively high flap speeds that can assist in keeping the power up on descent and approach. Hope that helps.
 
Ok, so its must be height initiated warning. Wonder if anybody got the reality XP 530 or 750 to work with this bird. Setting same size at least gets it all over the gps gauges.
 
It has nothing to do with height, it's strictly associated with power settings. I use the Flight1 GTN750 as a pop up and it works fine in the C-160.

Great models - I have a lot of fun with them. Nearly finished my repaint of F-BUFP, one of four Air France C-160P, based in Orly in the 1980ies.

Hello, I recently acquired this airplane for P3Dv5, it does not have those liveries - are those custom made ?
where can I get them ?

Thank you
 
They are all here in Warbirds Library, search for Transall.

Good Luck and have fun!
