  • 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.

Piglets XB-35.

Light Modifications

Some light mods and add-ons.

light.8=1, -18.00,   1.50,  -5.00, fx_beaconh ,
 
I did a first test I was able to solve some problems, I think I can do the work, but I will be of assistance

Anybody figured out how to add gauges to the VC yet? I added smoke effects to mine. If interested copy and paste to aircraft.cfg file. Use 'I' key to turn on and off.

Excellent! I substituted the smoke effects from the C-97. More subtle.

Fine tuning lights

Fine tuning the lights further and added a second VC light for the aft observer type cockpit.

3 years has passed since this was posted, the challenge to finish was great for my experience at the time, but I went head on and learned everything I could and now I feel like I can finish, not at Piglets level but leaving him comfortable to fly, when converting it turned into a lot of welded parts, but after a lot of work I separated it, added instrument windows, started a mapping of the interior that I could give to the VC

I'm very happy to see this coming back to life. I had a lot of fun making up 2D panels (open to interpretation) so I could fly it.

I can finish the Virtual Cockpit, but if anyone wants to help I will be grateful, I need someone to position the instruments, and someone who colors the textures of the interior, that would advance the project

I was also trying to lay instruments in the VC I had no luck. I did get permission from Milton Shupe to use the gauges from his plane though. (That way the plane would have era appropriate instruments.) If you have at least one instrument set in the VC instrument panel and one in the F.E. panel I would be able to (and be happy to) try and map the rest now that you have it set up with something the instruments can rest on.

Sorry, no.
I "borrowed" from a number of different aircraft to get what I believed the panels looked like. She only flies on my PC.

How about just the bitmaps.....it'd be a doddle for me to set up gauges....I've done and uploaded many 2d panels over the years....;)
