    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.

Milviz F-4E Phantom II

Naruto-kun, really appreciate the help with the location of the updated paint kit. I am working on the VF-151 F-4J version. Coming along nicely.
 
Sorry if this has been covered before, but having been burned on a previous purchase, I must ask. Any word from milviz on if this beautiful creation works on w8 systems? Any of their beta testers that run w8? And might I suggest, having that info available on the product page, unlike their awesome but unusable to me F-15E?

I run Milviz' F-15E under Windows 8.1 (64-bit, 8GB RAM) with absolutely no issues at all. I'm not expecting any with this add-on, either.
The only time I've ever had issues with a product add-on turned out to be my own fault.

It's come along quite nicely now:

Thanks for the reply, Dhazelgrove. I'm assuming you've done nothing special to get it running? I tend to agree with your assessment in operator error, although I haven't a clue where to begin looking for said error.

oddly enough, their t-38 used to run fine on my rig, albeit slow on initial load. But after a fresh reinstall of fsx, nothing but crashes trying to load it. Unfortunately as well, milviz does not offer any support for w8 users, tough titties was their reply. Ok they used nicer words than that. After various searches, it seems that some of their aircraft are just simply hit or miss with us w8ers.

all that being said though, I would love to hear if any of their beta testers are running w8. If not, I'd gladly give it a spin, you know, for the benefit of everyone :engel016:
 
Just curious about the F-4B/J nose. It looks too slim and not bulbous enough. Are the screenshots representative of the final model?

Yeah - I have to agree a bit. The foot or so of liner distance between the rear edge of the radome and the front of the windscreen appears to be tapering down, the way it does in the E, whereas it was almost flat ( in relation to the way the bottom of the nose just aft of the radome projects, slightly downard) on the B/C/D/J/N/S. Meaning the radius/height of the radome may be a bit small/short.

Nothing horrid or worth getting worked up about - just appears to be something a wee bit off. Of course, I could be wrong, there's photo angles, depth of field, etc. Could just me my eyes.

Anyway - looking forward to this in a big way!

I took some pictures of the front end of an F4J(uk) at a Museum I visited recently... you can plainly see in the edited and unedited version below that the fuselage is not flat in front of the nose wheel door... there is a slight curve, (if not a slope) down to the radome.... The Milviz model seems to replicate that nicely.

The top does also seem to slope down slightly and model seems to be ok on that front too.

Down to the short strokes on the VF84 'Jolly Roger' Livery:



Sneaked a smoke effect into the aircraft.cfg just for this photo-op :jump:

 
Brian... I've just tried the latest version of the VF84 paint you sent and its absolutely superb. Apart from adding crew names to right side of canopy frame its good to go.

I didn't see any instructions from Milviz about how to submit finished paints to them... maybe they could let us know? I cant wait to see this texture applied to the finished model with bump and spec maps cause it looks great even as it is.

Thanks Diego for the heads up. I have two submissions. They are from the VF-151 including 200 and 216. Pylons should look better now.









The featured USS Midway in a thread here should work nicely with these offerings.
