  • 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.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from GAS

Shift panels Mapping

Changing gears... In P3d v3, I've press the various (Mapped) shift keys and see that SHIFT + 1 produces no panel. Is that the desired result?
The other SHIFT + 2/3/4 work fine - no panel (Shift +1)...... Not sure if this was just a place setter for the other panels.

window_size= 1.000, 1.000
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000

If logic follows:
Looks like no gauge/s were called on in
this area. Hence no panel

Yup that would do it. Its sparked an idea on how that might be simulated. Perhaps more to come later in the week

There was a WWI model that you could hand prop to start since none had electric starters using the mouse to pull the prop. I did a video showing that feature.
I'll see if I can find it.

I'd appreciate seeing that as that's along the lines i was thinking
 
Ok, to hand prop this model you click on the prop. Can be done externally also. Don't recall if random clicks was available if the first pull didn't catch.

I really never gave it much thought but yes if there is no content there would be no need for a window

​From memory Anthony Lynch's Tiger Moth also could be started by dragging the mouse on the propeller.

If you all are angling for a hand crank mod you can always use Cntrl+E. :playful:

Haha, not at all. Hand propping works but no one would prefer it to the electric starter. I surely don't see a reason to stimulate it.

And yeah, the plane in that video is an Ag Cat I think, definitely not a Stearman.
 
Just discovered my Christmas present. A little late but her's a big thank you ! Have a good and prosperous new year
