  • 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.

For a first effort, it's pretty good! There is lots of potential here.

A few observations using FSX/Accel boxed edition.

Frame rates and overall computer performance are excellent.

Issues:
Propeller rotation is backwards.
Generator gauges are blurred out and non-functional.
Cowl flaps indicator gauge is not working.
Left engine is linked to right engine gauges, right engine is linked to the left engine gauges.
Strobe light on belly is constantly "on", no way to turn it off.

I'm also getting a crash to desktop with the generic "Failed to read from file" message during takeoff. I'm not sure what's going on with that.

By the way, strobe lights did not come into aviation use until the late 1970's. Red rotating or flashing beacons were introduced in the 1950's.

Thanks stansdds! :)

The cowl and generator gauges are fixed bmps - I haven't gotten as far as coding for such things yet. That might come in a later update in the future though.
The engines ( and props ) are a real anomaly but we have a fix for it, should be sorted soon. I'll also remove the strobe - oddly I don't remember including one when modelling the airplane but will check it out.

I'm not sure about the crash to desktop however, and I haven't encountered one before with the Reporter. If anyone else gets it, please do report it on the new Reporter RELEASED thread here on the discussion board.
