  • 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.

NEW! Percival Sea Prince!!

@Sieggie or anyone else having a problem with the Prince either bouncing around or just an immediate "overstressed" condition, I have finally found a fix for it. Maybe a bit Mickey Mouse, but I used the aircraft.cfg from the Hunting Percival Pembroke with a few changes to it and it now flies as expected. I haven't heard anything regarding my email to Rob. He may be on holiday or just not responding to emails.

When you said you replaced the aircraft.cfg file I looked to see what in the file could cause an over-stress. I found these were all set to zero so any stress would cause the air frame to collapse. I just picked some larger values but if you look around at similar aircraft you can most likely get better numbers.

[airplane_geometry]
positive_g_limit_flaps_up=4.000000
positive_g_limit_flaps_down=2.000000
negative_g_limit_flaps_up=1.500000
negative_g_limit_flaps_down=1.500000

Good find! No wonder the Pembroke file worked so well! Almost an identical aircraft:wavey:

positive_g_limit_flaps_up =4.00000 //Design G load tolerance (positive, flaps up)
positive_g_limit_flaps_down=2.80000 //Design G load tolerance (positive, flaps down)
negative_g_limit_flaps_up =-3.20000 //Design G load tolerance (negative, flaps up)
negative_g_limit_flaps_down=-2.40000 //Design G load tolerance (negative, flaps down)
load_safety_factor =1.50000
