    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Milviz Red Bull P-38 Problems

I recently installed the Milviz Red Bull P-38 and wonder if I have some install problems. I can't seem to control the S-TEC AP the way I would expect. You should be able to individually activate any of it's four modes (ST, HD, TRK Low and TRK Hi), along with Altitude Hold, but I find ST goes on with Track Low, the AP automatically switches from Track Low to Track Hi when you switch from NAV to GPS; the ST, HDG and Track Low lights can be on at the same time, I can't turn off ALT Hold without turning off the AP completely, etc. I could not find any info on how Milviz programmed the operation of the S-TEC -- in others words, what I should expect compared to the actual S-TEC operation manual. The same AP is in the A2A Cherokee so I have some experience with how it should work, but that could vary with a given developer's implementation.

I've also noticed that sometimes when switching between NAV and GPS, the back lighted NAV/GPS switch on the instrument panel lights up indicating the mode, and then a minute later it doesn't -- seems strange.

Milviz says you need FSX Acceleration or Steam for this a/c. I have FSX+SP2 which I thought was about the same as FSX Acceleration, and Steam. I see the same behavior in both sims, and have tried repeated installs. If anyone with this a/c can shed some light on these issues I would appreciate it.

Thx,

Al
 
Hi Al , just to clarify, with your SP2 installed do your get a P-51 Mustang or F-18 and EH101 as new defaults, this comes with the FSX Acceleration or the Gold edition FSX package, I do have FSX Steam but is not installed, brought that as a backup, If you have the above then peoples will be able to help a little more readily.

Hi Ian,
No, the a/c you mentioned did not come with FSX (Deluxe)+SP2. They did come with my version of FSX-SE.

SP2 is not the same as Acceleration. Similar but not identical. It missing some features as I understand it.

As Rick pointed out, that is were the issue is, I don't know about Steam or its installation as yet, I brought the $5 special package and as mentioned only as a backup, so I think now is we need a STEAMED installed person to possibly crack the problem for you.
