    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.

Nitrous Oxide in FSX?

I had printed out a list of keyboard commands for FSX (am going to try programming my X52 controller using Saitek software), and on the list I see "Nitrous Oxide".

Did a Google search, and apparently it is, or was?, available for the P-51, and one other aircraft? Have never used it, besides rarely ever flying the Mustang (already hearing gasps from all the P-51 drivers).

Just never heard of nitrous oxide in FSX, but it would be cool if it could be added to other aircraft for that extra "boost"!!!!!

You can add a nitrous system to, as far as I know, any aircraft with a piston engine. Not turbine or turbo-prop.
Check out https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526949.aspx#NitrousSystem . I think you need to add some entries to [piston_engine] section. Look at the menu at the top of the same page as I linked for the [piston_engine] section, and read through it for the boost entries to the mp. 3-4 lines to enter I rercall.
I am sure there are others much more knowledgable than I who can ring in with more information on this...

I think that was for the Reno Racer part of FSX Acceleration, if I recall right.

I don't think that NOS was used in combat aircraft. Some engines, recip or turbine, injected a solution of water and alcohol (methanol).

[edit: I stand corrected. The germans used NOS in very high flying recce aircraft, and the british in some Spitfire and Mosquito night fighter variants]

Cheers,

I'd like to mix some nitrous oxide in with my fighters' oxygen. it would certainly make those long, high altitude patrols more pleasant :dizzy:. Heh heh!
