    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.

Virtavia A-4E Skyhawk released

As there is no proper Virtavia A-4 Skyhawk category for uploading paintings flightsim.to does not allow me to upload

:banghead:
 
Confirmed with Phil that the speed brakes have been implemented in the 1.2 update, so I bought it and can confirm they do indeed work as you'd expect them to. Now you can fly a realistic approach.

Tried to use the IndiaFoxtEcho carrier add-on to confirm that the hook's working okay now, but I suck at carrier approaches without a proper ball to call, so I can't verify one way or another. But that's not Virtavia's fault, it's my mediocre Naval flying skills. :)

Hook questions aside, the flight model feels good and the visuals are nice as well. Happy with my purchase as a Naval jet fan.

ZSoltb, there's an "other" category you can use.
 
Zsolt, could you do a repaint of this bird like this photo?

Thanks for considering this.

ZSoltB, got your liveries off FS.to and they're beautiful! Thanks as always for your hard work and for sharing your talent!

Never did manage a successful carrier landing, but honestly, I save those for DCS because while the MSFS carriers look good, they're just too much a simplification of the actual landing process (and missing so many of the aids even WW2 pilots had) to make me feel like I'm doing anything resembling real ops in this sim anyway.

Back stick definitely helps de-squirrel the takeoff!

Now we just need a Blue Angels paint for this baby... Nobody should ever release a plane the BAs flew without including a livery, gorramit!
 
I'm hesitating buying this A4. Can those that do own it confirm the rumours I'm hearing that there are separate models for different loadouts, a la FS2004? If so, I'll be astonished (very FS2004)! Many thanks.
