    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.

Hi Rob, I downloaded it some time ago but Avast says Main_bump.dds is a compression bomb though I know nothing about such things so not yet installed.

Done a number of checks but can find no reason for it, it may well be a false warning.

Just to let you know it is only everything else no problems.

Many thanks been waiting years for this

Hi Rich,
Hope your keeping well, I know you have had some bad weather out your way of late!
This is a new model and will have very little in common with the model you already have, you may have the model that Pete Forster was developing, get the latest one from my site!
This is the first time that this Attacker has been uploaded.

Hi Rob thanks for the reply, thankfully the windy bit stayed off shore to the east, Okinwa has got the lot now.

Only version I had of a Attacker was the Fs9 version so I have yours to play with. Downloaded off your site, my nose is in there on a daily basis.

Rob, thanks for the new plane. :salute: Maybe it's the time of night but I wish all my downloads went as fast as the Attacker package did.
 
Thanks Rob , this is a very interesting type , course being a Navy carrier jobbie gets my attention :cool:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
Many thanks Rob, one of my favourite old British jet's, ever since I built a Frog model of it as a kid!

Regards,
Ian.
 
A taildragger carrier-based jet, what's not to like about that?

Thanks very much for all the comments.
P3D and FSX do not handle tail draggers all that well!
The best way to a successful deck landing, I find, is to keep the speed around 120 knots aim for the Fourth wire, no flair!
( just a crash really )


Rob
 
Another quality model to add to the ever growing "Richardson fleet". Cheers Rob!

Not a type I'm familiar with in real life but I love vintage jets so I think I'm going to enjoy this!

Thanks again,


Ade
 
Thanks, wasn't expecting to see her released so soon after the preview shots apeared. Eventually managed to get her on deck on the fifth pass :p

Gosh thanks! One of the more unusual candidates for this hangar - or carrier - so very welcome.

And I agree, a fast download: just 13 sec on this connection.
 
A plane I never thought I would get to fly in FS. Thanks for making it happen. I can see I'm going to get a lot of flight time out of this one. :)
 
Is the airspeed overspeed(red tool tip flag) warning coming on a good bit early(before the indicated Vne)? For me it's coming on around 330 indicated.
 
ROb I've long 'hounded' people about this jet, and why we needed one for fsx and after the year or two of following this project, this has come as a huge supprise! I can't thank you enough! The Jet Spitfire has arrived!
 
Tried to land this one on a carrier. Easy, but the hook isn't catching the wire! Has anyone adapted the numbers that came with the plane?

[TailHook]
tailhook_length= 4.67
tailhook_position=-17.429, 0.00, -1.371
cable_force_adjust=1.80
