    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.

Shrike Simulations (Milviz/Blackbird) Aircraft

The visual and audio model justifies someone going through it with real data and rebuilding the whole flight model.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but having recently bought this plane and flown it twice I am now rebuilding the whole flight model.
I've started with the contact points, moved on to the weight and balance, updated the engines and props, added PMS GTN750 (menu bar app) autopilot compatibility, and I'm currently fine tuning the handling.
I've discovered that the prop spinners have two textures - one for engines off and another one for engines running - unfortunately the engines running textures seem to be built-in to the model and can't be edited by me at least; I can't find them anywhere!
So I'm stuck with the chrome spinners for now, but I'd like to change them if anyone knows how. The chrome reflects sunlight into the cockpit and causes a flickering effect on the panel when the sun is in the right place.
