  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Making a separate thread as this may re-interest people who had given up on TG...

You can edit the FLT file for each mission (e.g.)
C:\MSFS\Official\Steam\asobo-lowalt-riffelake\Missions\Asobo\MRK\LowAltitude\lowalt-riffelake\01_LowAlt-RiffeLake.FLT

find the [Sim.0] section and change the Sim= line to your favourite (e.g.)

[Sim.0]
Sim=SSW TF104-G 28+16
;Sim=Boeing F/A 18E Super Hornet Mrk Asobo

I'm using the SSW F-104 but DC's jets should work fine (think it's time for me to buy the Cat) as should the TC Hornet when it's updated, just find the alias you want from your aircraft.cfg file
 
You can also replace the rewardscreen.jpg file in the images folder with a more appropriate one...

Ghost also flies the new plane, in fact I've realised Ghost is you, once you've beaten the pre-recorded track :)
 
Well the Tomcat is quite a challenge in the low-level challenges ... it's got the power to go fast - but go over 650 Kts and your control authority is limited, which can put you into a hillside - so ease off the power for the trickier bits :)

No joy with the Carrier landing challenge yet, the hook won't deploy (it's not just the external animation, the internal switch doesn't move, the 'co-pilot' keeps suggesting to drop the hook and I just get a bolter on landing)
 
If you have problems with starting at Bingo fuel (or less) try running a flight from the World Map first, you should then inherit that fuel content.
And you will score higher by staying slower and lower than higher and faster.
Also check that autopilot is disengaged, sometimes it seems to be hampering control movements.
