    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.

Solomon 1943 V.2 FSX/P3D - open beta Feb 3

Anywhere over the Solomon's where you have added scenery and objects I get a stutter. Once you move away from the islands, all is back to normal.
FPS are high, 30 to 60, but it's a stutter issue. And regardless of the aircraft sim. I don't get this with FTX products which are much more detailed and I typically run full sliders to the right with the exception of Autogen and water effects.

I've not noticed something like that yet, even when I ran it on my old system with a Intel Q6600 / NV GTX 460 a month ago, so it can't be a real performance issue.
Is this accompanied by hard disk accesses (LED blinking)?

Cheers,
Mark
 
I'll release an update shortly that fixes all the issues that have been brought up so far.

Australian coastwatcher Reg Evans has a new home on Kolombangara now. He most likely didn't live that way, but maybe we can give him a bit more comfort in the sim :)

Off to package the update now,
Mark

theres a documentary called the Lost Fleet of Guadalcanal that i watched just last night that had either Mr Evans or a contemporary featured in it..
 
finally got round to installing the Solomons, and an outstanding scenery I must say! I can see I'll be busy for a while..

So true! There are so many cool, historically accurate aircraft to consider flying: fighters, bombers, patrol, amphibians, etc. Then there are the warships and carrier ops. It's a real playground, plus beautiful settings everywhere.

Am also enjoying flying the RealFlight F6F and JF F4F. Re the A2A F4U, where can one find good repaints for this beast??
 
Just want to say thank you !

Hi Mark,
I just want to say thank you very much for this beautiful scenery. It made me making a donation to sim-outhouse.

Hello,

What an remarkable achievement!

I was going through appropriate planes for this scenario. Obviously most of you fly Corsairs and P-38s. I rolled out Catalina, Grumman Goose (?) and L-4, but did not find proper paint for C-47. Were they from Navy, Marines or AF? I could use default or Manfred Jahns C-47...
