  • 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.

This effect is really nice. I expect that in the near future someone will start to work on Sr-71 :redfire:!
 
Now if someone could explain to me how to make this livery work as it's own, and not replace the original...I would be grateful! Why is it so convoluted in MSFS to create a livery!??
 
I did not see it listed as a single aircraft in the Content Manager, I may have overlooked it (I have 640+ items in there), but it is flyable as a single aircraft as any other aircraft in MSFS.

Agreed, this is just for play + giggles ......

These screenshots are at the default KNKX Miramar MCAS that was given to us by ASOBO with W.U. VII

... Crashed and burned 13:08 minutes later trying to do that inverted dive thing ......
 
Hi there's an option to uninstall Top Gun into contente manager. Will do it, wonder if it is safe...nothing about it found on MSFS foruns
 
There's also this one for the Asobo Mustang, by the same repainter (which is a bit more accurate with the depiction of the markings): https://flightsim.to/file/25823/north-american-aviation-p-51-top-gun-maverick

Unfortunately, both repaints depict the aircraft in bare metal rather than being painted all-over silver like the real thing. (https://www.mustangsmustangs.com/p-51/survivors/serial/44-12840)

The Mustang that Tom Cruise owns, which was originally manufactured as a reconnaissance-fighter F-6K, was restored in the 1990s by Cal Pacific Airmotive and won "Best P-51" at Oshkosh in 1998. It was later acquired by Cruise around 2001/02. Although a stock airframe, it is fitted with a rear jump seat (like 95% of the stock P-51D/K's flying) and has basic dual controls. Cruise wasn't able to really dedicate time to flying it until some years later, and after training with well-known warbird pilot/instructor Matt Jackson, Cruise soloed the Mustang for the first time in 2006 and has been flying it regularly ever since. Although having been mostly based at the Burbank Airport, for the past few years Cruise has put the aircraft in the care of Steven Hinton at Chino, California.
 
As long as there are no other objects that depend on its components, anything you remove via the content manager should be safe.

Thanks Tom. Removed instantly through content. Really don´t know if any files were removed from my ssd. All publicity to top gun remains. Opening screen, and challenges board (not working of course), everything related to top gun. Annoying, to say the least...
Now will wait for the F-18 mods and, of course, Dc-3 from AH
 
I flew a couple of the low-level challengers. They were a blast. Reminded me of the low-levels I flew in the RF-4C. Of course, back then I had a chart with the route on it and knew where I was going. We flew low levels between 420-480 kts., not throttles to the wall. We had a time over target to make. Still, the challengers were fun to fly. I think I will do the rest.

As for the movie, I saw where it is a hit. Should gross 150 million for the long Memorial weekend in the US. I may go see it one afternoon during the middle of the week. That way there will be fewer people. Or I may wait until it comes out on DVD. No rush.
 
jmig, if you have a Dolby or IMAX auditorium, I'd highly suggest catching this one on the big screen! No matter how good your home system is, the production on the movie is awesome and it's so cool to have rumbling audio and F/A-18s filling your view...
 
I've got to say, I absolutely hate decals in MSFS. At least the way they're implemented on the SR-72, I mean Darkstar...just baked in. No way to turn them off and they interfere with any texture work you try to do. Super annoying.
