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.

Captain Kurt,
thank you so much for Morane as well as for all your other WW1 planes and the Eddie Rickenbacker campaign. I was out of the world of flight simulators for a long time. I started with CFS 2 soon after the game release, then went for FS9, spent beautifull time at The Old Hangar and here, but the real world prevailed. As a ww1 aeroplane enthusiast just can not pass on your beautifull aeroplanes so I am back in game!
So many thanks to you and others, for keeping this great sim alive and kicking!

Hello-
I tried to have a go at getting them to work in FSX, using all the usual portover tricks, and it comes out pretty nice... EXCEPT for the good ol' prop disc anomaly. A lot of models can be tweaked with MdlMat to minimize that effect, but whether or not you can depends on how the model was put together. Just the same, they're a pretty pair of aircraft that look wonderful in FS9, and CFS2, of course...

Thank you. I have tried various methods to make it work in fs2004 but while it appears there is no prop or engine visible. As it’s a rotary I suspect it is a single model part that’s not porting. How did you get the prop to show up in FS9?
Hello Gents
Here is a way to convert a CFS2 model to a FS2002 one, with MDLC:
in command lines convert the CFS2 .mdl to scasm ( /a ) then convert the .sca file to .bgl ( /b ) and finally convert the .bgl to .mdk ( /l )
The result, renamed.mdl is a FS 2002 model and the propellers might show properly
Cheers

Many thanks. I will give it a try.

Mike. Many thanks. I have tried several downloads for both but the same missing engine and prop each time. Everything else is perfect and I am beginning to wonder if I am missing some programme files. I have also been trying to run MDLC but my computer will not run any of the versions I have downloaded.
I think this may be a move on moment.

indeed MDLC fails to run on 64-bit Windows; instead require the 64-bit compatible release by @Allen
MK_MDLC and MDLC for 64bit systems.zip
We can now go back to XP and Vista era and convert FS9 aircraft to FS8 or CFS2, Apply dynamic shine to models, Adjust model size ("collision bubble") without setting up emulators or virtual machine. No need for batch files or DOS window commands...

Hi John, you won't succeed to get the .bgl from the .sca file in a 64 bits system with DosMDLC, but you can use directly SCASM.exe for it, put your mymodel.sca and scasm.exe in the same folder, navigate with your window version command prompt to the folder where are both and type:
./scasm.exe mymodel.sca
then the key "enter", and you'll get your mymodel.bgl file, you can keep on with DosMDLC after that to get the FS 2002 model, but sometimes it hangs with runtime errors, the only solution is on this case to do it on a 32 bits system.
good luck, cheers
