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.

Yes, I sure can 
you can find AICarriers.NET here: https://github.com/ollyau/AICarriers/releases
There is a thread on it over at FSDT. It can be found here: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,11293.msg86978.html#msg86978
I type it with the .NET extension because it's author, Orion, likes to do it that way in his thread about it to differentiate from the older, java based version.
Both versions' executable files are AICarriers.exe. Using the .NET extension is just an easy way to tell them apart.
Make sure you download and install the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile .
May I ask, are you using P3D or FSX? If you're using P3D, make sure you install AICarriers into the main P3D folder. I've heard that this needs to be done, and that it doesn't. Placing it there will save possible headaches later on, is all. Do NOT, under any circumstances, install it into C:\Program Files , or C:\Program Files(X86) . That WILL cause problems later, trust me.
You don't have to add it to your EXE.XML file. There is an example entry available both on the thread's first post, and in the Readme file as well, to do so if you desire, though, to start it every time you start the sim. I do it that way cause I'm lazy
There are dozens of boats available for use in AICarriers. Beware of adding too many entries, either into the main AICarriers.cfg file, or into the conf.d folder, where they belong anyway. I made a subfolder in the conf.d folder, and store the add-on .cfg files there until I want to use them. Keeps from having 20 pages to search through in the SHFT+J menu. Like I said, I'm lazy.
If you want moving carriers, without having to place them with AIC, so you can use it to place your sling loads, go to Flightsim, and download carriertracks1and2.zip from the library there. Places moving carriers all over the world. I love the ones around Hawaii. There's a ton of them to choose from to place a load onto. Great challenge. Cruisers and destroyers are an even bigger challenge. Much smaller landing areas. Great fun to place the Osprey it's self on while they're moving. NOT easy
Have fun, and if you have any more questions, I'll try to help.

V4 of my addon uploaded
Hi,
I just uploaded V4 of my addon package for the MV22B Osprey to the FSX-Other section of the SOH library.
Thanks to Pat for testing it.
(Pat: I included your sling.0 tweaks; also I added, as discussed via Email, the AI traffic ID to the selected AI info, to help re-find a lost AI)
What it adds (compared to the original Rel1 package of the MV22B Osprey):
1. A HoverHold feature.
Now working upto 50 knots airspeed.
2. A down-looking camera, for VTOL landings and hoist operations.
3. A forward-looking camera plus tracking control and fuel dump/reload, for AI formation flying and tanker operation.
4. A new, more appropriate proprotor dust effect on hard surfaces, like concrete, asphalt and tarmac.
5. A tracking ground-mode, to detect/fly-to AI aircraft carriers.
6. A Radar gauge, visualising the position/heading of the selected AI relative to your position/heading.
7. A tow/push feature, that simulates the MV22B being towed-forward or pushed-back by a truck with engines Off.
8. A revised implementation of "speed-forcing on the ground".
Improving the groundroll on non-moving surfaces.
9. Maryadi's version of the IPC gauge, which solves a some problems on P3D and doesn't require FSUIPC anymore.
Fully documented, intended for FSX-ACCEL and FSX-SE.
(Works with P3D, but the used FSX-camera view function may give some display problems)
Enjoy .....
Rob Barendregt
PS: If you are allready using V3 of my addon: this V4 includes V3. See README.

Bill, thanks for that repaint. I couldn't get on to say anything earlier, sorry bout that...
I appreciate the hard work!
Rob, I was very glad to be some small help. Your work has always impressed me no end, and to be a small part of it was a great honor.
Keep up the great work. I am sure the whole FS community appreciates it greatly

Wonderful paint Bill. sorry not quite detail I make on wheel well, afraid of polygon count that make fps eater.
go to home page here at simouthouse and look for HSL-51 Zip, its 2 down from the top in the 'Whats new " section. I downloaded Robs new gauge V4 but now I cant control the nacelles ? they are stuck on 60 degrees. Has anybody else having this problem ? Thanks In Advance guys
Bill
Bill
Nothing changed in that area ....
Do you control the nacelles with AileronTrim commands (default) or with an Axis commanding Spoiler ?
If the latter.. you have to enable gauge05 in the vc00 section of the panel.cfg again.
If still not Ok....
- are the engines running ?.
- is the master battery On ?
