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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
Mach Loop Wales flightplan?
- Thread starter ZsoltB
- Start date
Hi,
I'm pretty sure I posted this here, but can't find it anymore, sorry...
I made last year a mission in the machloop : you begin at RAF Valley and the loop begins in Barmouth. 30+ doors : the first is an entry, the second is the beginning of the chrono. Once a door is passed, the next ione is activated. After the first loop, a second one is possible.
That's very challenging in a jet, my personal record is 4'21" with the M2K, but was unable to make the secound round (fuel consumption...)
Here a picture, at the last door :
So, here's the archive with two versions : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/109714314/copier.zip
You must copy them in the "mission" file of your fsx. The mission "machloop" is with the M2K. The "machloop aircreation" begins with the ULM. Don't forget to check the "enable changes in selected mission", and you can replace it with your preferred plane and also change the date. I made it with Hawk and F15 and it's pure pleasure...
Hope you'll enjoy !

I agree awstub,
No harm surely in re-invigorating peoples interest in an old subject!
It benefits our newer flight simmers, who may not be aware of the previous posts.
It's rekindled my interest in the Mach loop; off to give it a thrashing in something or other!

Old or not, I think its cool stuff and am glad to see it active
When I was a teenager, I went to Outward Bound in Wales and we did a multi-day hike through part of this area. I was blown away at the number of aircraft screaming through the valleys....sometimes so close it seemed as if I could have reached out and touched them.
I never knew what it was called until now.

Chip, you better get a bit lower or you might get run over by one of the 'fast movers' !
Ha, Ha!
Thanks for the warning jmbiii; I was rather hoping my Longbow radar would pick up on anything incoming, so that I could nip out of the way in plenty of time! LOLChipShop

Amazing terrain mesh, immaculate glass reflections, highly realistic pilot animations.
VC textures exquisite - not too sure about exteriors, though...seems slightly lighter than official colours
Obviously, you're a VC fan, but would it be possible to see some spot views in your next WIP project, Huub?
ps; did you do the textures in Photoshop or MS paint?

And again! I too, see no problem in resurrecting a thread with some great information (maps/ flight plans and knowledge from those who have done it before. It's a great discovery to make when you stumble across it in the course of your sim adventures.
I have just discovered this route in my early stages of flying military jets in FSX. I'm off there this afternoon in a GR9 Harrier (Razbam).
