  • 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.

Revisiting the Cloud 9 Phantom porting issue..

All fantastic paints!!! Makes my stuff look feeble. Sure would like to download your creations Zsolt. Hope you will make them available.
 
The model is not (yet) seaworthy LOL. First you need to add a [launch_assistance] section to the Aircraft.cfg :

[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot= 13.3, 0.0, -9.0
launch_bar_lug = 14.8, 0.0, -10.0

Then the [TailHook] values need to be fixed, they are way off, I tried a trap and the hook does not catch any wire. Would be nice if someone can sort this out, it is not on my priority list at the moment.

Edit: This is a quick & dirty attempt which works for me:

[TailHook]
tailhook_length=6.5
tailhook_position = -30.00, 0, -3.1
cable_force_adjust = 1.0

Use this setting, works great

[TailHook]
tailhook_length=3.3
tailhook_position = -13.86, 0.35, -1.61
cable_force_adjust = 1.0

Thanks Dumonceau, in that case time for an update on the VF-151. Almost time to shadow a TU-95.







 
Why does zsoltquack never answer any question?

I like his repaints too, but he seems not to have community friendly behaviour...

Well, he answered me per PM - his repaints are donationware, costing $ 2,00 a piece. Zsolt: Maybe it is better if you advertize/promote your work in a separate thread and make it clear your repaints are not for free.

cheers, Henk.

I got the same e-mail.

Henk your idea is a good one - seperate thread for payware.





Irony on: "Maybe the portover kit of the Phantom should be sold too?:greedy_dollars:" Irony off



Anyway, thank you all for the work that you have done, everyone!

I totally agree...!
Being able to use my C9 Phantom in FSX is worth something to me!
Should the work that was being put into this portoverkit be sold, I'd pay for it.
Same goes for the fantasic repaints by Zsolt...they are a piece of art and make my repaints of the C9 Phantom look like drawn by a kid...:encouragement:

I am in...!
Zsolt...you've got mail!
