  • 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.

What I really love about our hobby . .

Pulled this one deep out of my FSX hangar and threw her into P3Dv4.5H3. WOW. What a ride. A b*tch to start. Can't see a bloody thing from inside. Very thirsty. Fantastic sound and smoke. Handles and looks amazing in P3D 64 bit. Looks fab at the freeware RAF Coningsby airfield (after I got my MAIW scenery library working again). And the best thing is I completely forgot I had this aircraft (IRIS Vulcan).

I can't find a link to their Freeware list anymore. Would you have it? Thanks, NC

UPDATE: I did find their Vulcan on Simviation, but the details clearly says it will not work in V4? Confused.
 
I may be wrong, but i dont think the Iris Vulcan was ever released as freeware, you may have downloaded the Alphasim model.
 
LOL! Loved your descriptions! If you want another plane where you can't see a bloody thing from inside, try the Vulcan's Cold War sister - the Victor! :pirate: I love the gorgeous menacing look of a Victor as it flies towards you. Mind you, I like her pretty much from any angle. I have the Alphasim victor but with a 2d panel merged into it (excellent) I think the 2d panel came from UKMIL, not sure.
 
Perhaps it just needs some gauges replaced?

Negative. Gauges in the panel folder are all xml files. I did't even properly "install" it - just copied and pasted the aircraft folder from my now long disused FSX folders. Everything works including the VC autopilot which is very similar to the CS C-130 AP.

I installed the aircraft. Although the model did show up on the runway (there was not a image of the aircraft in the selection menu), and was able to take off, etc...., the landing gear will not retract. I tried the keyboard "g" key, but no response, either. NC
 
Just added this beauty to my rapidly growing list of FSX aircraft which will soon find a new home in MSFS2020.
