    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.

SSW F-104G NASA Starfighter repaint

I am doing a repaint for the payware SimSkunkWorks F-104G in modern NASA colors.

These planes are living a third youth as research machines; head here for the real thing:

Anyone willing to test it?

I just reinstalled the freeware F-104 packages in P3Dv3.3.5 and it works quite well.
Even the mirrors in the cockpit became functional :applause:

However, I couldn't hear much of the howling sounds. From the cockpit I just couldn't hear it at all, and in the external view I could hear it, but very faint compared to the "normal" jet engine sound.
Is that normal ? In the past (back in my FSX days), it seems to me the howling sound was much stronger, as expected. Even from the cockpit. Or did I install an alternative sound set I forgot about ?

Thanks Bjoern for the reply, and I apologize to Corrado for posting in the wrong topic ! I wanted to post in that other Zipper topic in fact :/ Sorry about that.
