  • 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.

RFN F-8 Crusader is out!!

Can anyone explain the wing leading edge droop? the checklist mentions cruise settings among others.
I don't know why but it is very difficult to get more than mach 1.2 or 1.4 out of it and I was wondering if it was a LE droop issue.
I see no control for them.

The leading edge droop is a function of the wing incidence. On the Crusader there was only two positions for leading edge or flaps -- all or none.

Another small bug with engine smoke : When at 50% throttle, brown smoke puffs
appear at 3 o'clock of aircraft at sea/ground, apart of engine'sd echaust, about 800m away of pilot.
Specially visible when you fly very low like taking off from carrier and make a left turn.
They also cause some FPS drop (FSX).

Good morning everyone,
the repaints by Nastybeats are available on the Royale French Navy website: http://royalefrenchnavy.restauravia.fr/RFN-Creations.htm#Avi
Cheers,

Stéph.
 
It's the first time I obderve such a detail in a plane : When you accelerate or under G load, pilot's figure
is pushed back against his seat, while when decelerate or under negative G's , pilot's body moves forward
dew to G forces. Nice touch RFN !

I have noticed that also! Haven't pushed it enough to observe if the pilot's vision will go dark due to G forces. I have a coupe of aircraft that
will do that!:dizzy:

Sure it will. That is a function of the sim. Check under Options -> Realism -> G-Effects or something like that.

I have all of my G effects sliders maxed out! I guess I just haven't pushed the Crusader hard enough. Will give it a run for it's money tomorrow:encouragement:

It's usually a checkbox, not a slider setting.

In P3Dv4: "Options -> Realism - Special Effects - Visualize G-effects" checked will make things go black in high maneuvers.

In FSX: "Aircraft -> Realism Settings - Special Effects - G-effects" checked will make things go black in high maneuvers.

Hope this helps.

OK, it's checked! Has been all along:wavey:

Yep, it did it! It started the blackout as I pulled out of a steep power dive and added a banking turn.

Thank you for the quick response
I am trying to figure out why I can get no faster than Mach 1.2 in level filight
 
OK, you might have gotten an answer even quicker if you would have said that first.

What altitude and fuel load are you using?
