    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.

West Indies 1974 birds

Need help

VCs are not my expertise and I have an issue I cannot fix:
The vc light effect is the standard one, and sometimes when viewing at some angles, variable, I can see light on the nose of the plane (at night, please follow) while the vc is adequatly lighten.

Moving a little and no more light, back to the previous position light again, but sometimes not...
I guess it may be the positionning of the effect but after numerous tries I do not see progress. Because when I move significantly the effect position there is no light at all, even in the vc.
So any clue to solve this issue would be nice, thanks in advance to the experts.
 
Finished, at last!
Get very recently a 1973 picture showing belly was aluminium essentially. Grey is 1975. So changed it and few other things like doors painting, quite funny. The lowest line is dummy, as the real door open lower. Just a detail but you know...
Th VC effect, even modified, is not 100% satisfying but at least no light on the fuselage.
BTW I am surprised nobody knows. Probably little interest but no prob, I manage :0)
So it will be uploaded soon, just pondering with or w/o the VC. I found no trace of its origin.

I tried too to get rid of this unpleasant shadow with MCX but in vain.

Gavin from the P3D forum found a fix for this prop shadow bug. It's actually a McX bug, but there is a work-around: Re-import and re-export, et voilà !
