  • 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.

Screenshots (FS2024)

AFAIK, That B-24 has been fully restored by the Commemorative Air Force, ( formerly The Confederate Air Force) and is still flying at airshows around the country.
 
I'm not usually a rivet counter, but I am a hardcore Trekkie, so I left a suggestion that the scenery author make the SNW Enterprise even bigger. :)

That does look nice. But reading about the shortcomings in the initial release...

But brilliant shots as always @noddy !
 
Yes there are issue but MicroProse were up front that it is the initial release and provided a road map, so it will only improve as many other models have.

Anyway back to the screenshots :)
 
How's the plane in 2024 now ?
If I'm not confusing, in 2020 until last year it had some issues with codl&dark starting... like two engines starting at the same time ? Or am I confusing with the A-10 ?
 
Sorry, never done a cold start on it in both sims.
Comes with weapons options and seems to fly fine, of course its not a study level model.
 
You know, there's a lot of negativity about FS2024, but sometimes it does things that are just breathtakingly cool. I watched a PBS short on Washington's state's mima mounds on YouTube and looked up the coordinates, started a flight there, and there they are.

Damn!
 
Here's a FS2020 repaint by:
Which I have working now in FS2024. It is one of my favorites.
The Flyingiron P-38 also has a GPS option. Be sure to edit the panel.cfg to this:
htmlgauge00=NavSystems/WTGNSv2/WT430/WT430.html, 0,0,350,190
This will change the basically unuseable and worthless AS430 to the Working Titles 430 version 2.
I use AAO with this template:

Damn!
FS2024 is a great sim once you spend the time to learn the differences. I will never go back to FS2020 and will just delete off my computer as it's just wasting space on the hard-drive. I am trying to come up with a good reason not to delete it, but just can't come up with one.

Nice screenshots BTW.
