    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.

FS2004 Screenshots Here!!!

Coming soon, I just need to do the paperwork and zip it up. :wiggle:

AS365kit.jpg

An update kit for the Alphasim/Virtavia AS365 Dauphin.
Textures- Darker green upper windows and more visible blurred rotor blades.
The blurred tail fan only has eight blades instead of eleven. It looks great in real time and more blades just adds more problems.

Config file- I've made it more stable when landing but you can still get in trouble if you try to whap it down. I had to spread out the gear a bit, so you may notice some odd dirt clouds near the tires. Blame it on "ground effect". :p Also some changes to the prop-animation-ratio for more modern hardware, plus the new [contact points] data.

You'll need to replace three textures in each texture folder. Start with one texture folder and the same [aircraft.#] entry and see if you like it, first.
The white and yellow line in the pic "floats" a bit. I've added a little "tire sink" so the tires look accurate on the ground.
As always, read the README file. :ernaehrung004:

Update- And, its uploaded. :wiggle:

Alpha/Virtavia AS365 Dauphin update kit for FS9.

An "update kit" for the FS2004/FS9 AS365 Dauphin helo from Alphasim/Virtavia. Updates the [contact points] section for smoother landings and taxi and includes new textures for the blurred main rotor, tail fan and darker green upper windows...

I see a lot of airlines here lately. Although I prefer to fly single engine aircraft, as I don't consider myself a very talented virtual pilot, I do fly airliners occasionally. But the airliners I fly look quite different.......

Beautiful aircraft, but in most cases you need to be patient, as getting somewhere will take some time......

Cheers,

Kicking it old school:

Magpie83.jpg

Magpie 83, 75 SQDN, back when they were based at Williamstown Mil. (YWLM).

This is the Alpha/Virtavia Sabre wearing one of its rare repaints.
I've always wondered why this title didn't get a lot of love from the repainters?
There's a ton of paints out there for Kirk Olsen's F-86. :indecisiveness:

to answer your query, because the freeware gem SectionF8 F86 Sabre: https://sim-outhouse.org/sohforums/threads/freeware-gems.20503/post-224224 garnered most of the attention ;) and per the commentaries - has many bells and whistles uncommon even in the payware of its day - thus a much heralded gem in the community, and with many repaints to boot!

cheers!

Were lucky were spoilt for such great choice when it comes to the F86. I wish we had a proper nice model of the Sabre dog or Avon Sabre though.
 
I’ve lately been doing some chopper Flights as well…

Repatriation Flight from Budapest to Erstfeld, Switzerland with REGA Switzerland’s HB-ZRD & HB-ZRC

[note]:
I need to fix the lights though… thei’re all over the place but just not where they need to be… other than that, one of my favorite Choppers to fly, outthere.

Hey Pete, are you heading through France, down to Spain or rather northward? Would be interested in once you cross the spanish Border, if you considder heading to Perpignan Airfield… and if you have any particular reasonable Scenery for Perpignan Airport, rather than the available freeware…
