    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

Prepar3D v3 Screenshots

Air America over Laos, on flight to Vientane. The weather deteriorated rapidly after leaving the mountains toward the Mekong, with darkness approaching and thunderstorms! Sweaty palms!

Note the wonderful work that had been done on the engine in the second pic. Manfred Jahns (et al) C-47 is an absolute favourite of mine.

I need to pick up a Phantom.

Having been on the beta teams of both, and depending on your variant preference, the Milviz F-4E/S and SWS F-4B/N are great models, having also working radar and weapons (except the S at the moment). A great time for lifelong Phantom Phans like myself!
 
I'm addicted to photosceneries with autogen.
Sure I miss the seasonal textures, yes, but for the moment that will be ok :)

And concerning the Phantom, I bought the Milviz one during some sales, if I remember correctly. And even though I haven't yet learned how to use the weapon systems, I'm having a blast just flight-testing it.

And it's not too difficult to land it on a carrier with nice weather.
I still have to figure our how to setup the instrumentation to get any landing helps...
The strange thing is, in TacPack I set all the carriers to use the frequency 111.00 for the ILS. But even with the VRS SuperHornet, after setting the ILS frequency in the central panel and setting the ILS to ON, I don't get any help on the HUD... probably I'm missing something...

Make sure that you have "ILS" boxed on the HSI page


I planned on picking up the MILVIZ J/S but was waiting for it to be Tacpack'd. I might have to pick it up anyway. I've been keeping my eye on the Simworks Studio's Phantom as well.
 
On the HSI page ? I thought all was done from the central top panel... I'm going to take a look, thanks for the advice ! :ernaehrung004:
 
This time I made some test flight with Dino's Tomcat. Sometimes I forget how nice it looks. I just wish it had a little bit more ambiant occlusion on the exterior model, where some parts are a bit too clear. But still, it's beautiful isn't it ?

And here we have the very nice Hawker Hunter from Just Flight via AH.
Rather dirty weather around Palm Springs......could almost be 'somewhere over England'!

IS this by any chance actually a screenshot from P3Dv3 ??.... :


simoreal.jpg


You see, it certainly is not my screenshot... Heck, it could even be a photo.... It's from an advert at AirdaleyX about P3Dv3.4 and i would love to know what airfield scenery this actually represents.

Does anyone here maybe have a clue ??.....

It looks 100% Orbx if you ask me but i posted my question in Orbx's forum and the picture got removed almost instantly. No Orbx airport scenery....

Say, it's not like it's default P3Dv3.4, is it ??.....

Thanks much for any enlightment !

Cheers,
Jan

PS @ Scotth6: i know ​ what that is.. :smile:
