    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.

Both Looking great. I'll have to look up some of the actions. Who flew the Merlin version?:applause:

BTW what's the progress with the FW190 and Manchester?
 
The 190 is still being worked on, having it's pylons built, and I'm hoping for a Manchester model update at the weekend!
The Squadrons I've come across so far that flew the Merlin version were flown by 96, 225, 307 (Polish), 406 (RCAF), 409, 456 (RAAF).

Hi All,

a WIP shot of the main ETC501 rack, there will be quite a few versions of this rack to suit individual bomb types. then onto new wing pylons for various loadouts.

regards Rob.

Seeing as photobucket has messed a lot of the screenshots up, thought I'd stick some back up. although most are gone for good now!

I took these earlier in the Fw 190 development process on a quick test mission. Part I.

My formation of Fw 190A-4s out looking for trouble:




He's too focused on his target.


Got him!
 
Part II

So satisfying!


Surprise! It's the one you don't see that gets you.





Wingman to the rescue!


This flight ended with a safe belly landing in a field short of the runway. That tough BMW 801 was still running, but barely.
 
For starters, the Fw 190 FM has been tweaked to give more realistic elevator effectivity vs airspeed. At least some of the 190 FMs currently available loose all elevator control by about 650 km/h, whereas 190s were known to execute dive bombing attacks at speeds above 1,000 km/h and be able to pull out. So this is reflected in the new FM, which makes it much more competitive, especially at higher speeds. The Spitfires can, and should, still turn inside the 190, but in all other respects, the 190 is superior, at least against the Mk.Vs I was facing on this flight.

The problem is that CFS3 AI tactics are still biased towards the turn fighter, so effectively, as far as the AI is concerned, whichever is the better turn fighter will win. In this case, that is of course the Spit. So in the mission, I biased the AI skill levels against the Spitfires to compensate. And argueably that is as it should be anyways, at least during 1941 and 1942. There is a mixture of all skill levels in the opposing forces, but there are overall more rookies flying Spits and more aces flying 190s. Larger scale battles tend to make any disparity between aircraft a little less noticeable as well. The result is usually a fairly intense and unpredictable battle.
