Thank you all for your very kind words. I would like to mention that GarryJSmith has kindly offered to host my web site content. I believe he has downloaded it all now so you may be hearing from him if he can successfully get the content in a format and presentable form. If he does that, then the content will be available free of charge as always and remain statically preserved. Thank you Garry. For those interested in the Gmax tutorials, they have always (well, for 4-5 years now) been posted down in the Design forums and are "sticky'ed" there. There are some videos and graphic tutes that are not part of the C-162 series so check them out. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/forumdisplay.php?22-Aircraft-Design-Animation

Milton Shupe replied to a thread Static Pitch or......??? in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

You will be restricted by the model implementation of suspension movement and gear placement (height). Also, as you change static compression and max-static ratio, you will need to adjust the vertical distance in the contact points. The description of the contact points are found in the aircraft container SDK.

Milton Shupe replied to a thread Static Pitch or......??? in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

Static pitch only affects the angle when in slew mode; it has nothing to do with how the aircraft sits on the tarmac. Same with static height ... only in slew mode. Contact points static compression and max-static ratio are used to affect suspension static compression and travel. Before you change it, multiply static compression times the max-static ratio. You must maintain that result whenever you change static compression or max-static ratio. (This assures that the sim mirrors the animated travel established in the model.) For example, contact points static compression and max-static ratio changes as follows: Now: .5', 2.5 = 1.25' New: .8', x.x - 1.25

Milton Shupe replied to a thread Milton's Flightsimonline Closing June 2013 in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

I have downloaded the C162 tutorial folder and trying to decide the best way to package it. It is 135MB, 29 folders and 621 files. If you have MS Word, after downloading, you could change the hyperlinks to point at your folders, otherwise right now, the hyperlinks are useful to identify the folder for each exercise. Then opening that folder, you can simply open the index.html file to view the contents. A little cumbersome but not bad. Not sure if there is an easier way than editing the hyperlinks once the package is downloaded though.

Thanks for the answer Dave! Interesting to read the Hellcat is powered by an R-975 radial engine. Most of the vehicles driving around came from Germany and I don't think they would like (Or even be allowed!) to dress up like WW2 german soldiers.. Spectators aren't allowed to wear German gear either. It is a great museum with a large (300+) vehicle collection, but most are allied vehicles. The armour driven around this weekend all came from other museums and private collectors around Europe. There's the Panther and a pair of 34's, but there are no German half-tracks in their collection.

Thanks everyone. The website host has had its issues for the last year or so and in spite of lots of trouble tickets, they continue. We had several domains and now have discontinued all of them. I have all the download files and raw page data so if anything is needed, maybe I can make that available. The C-162 gmax tutorials will not be available so if anyone wants that, they better grab it. I will be making all gmax source available again here at SOH if anyone is interested. I have not done any design work since January/February; just needed a sabbatical.

My view is that in the early films the SW Universe was still mostly at peace, so to go from that state to it falling into darkness, some comic relief etc. had to be introduced. If you look at the second trilogy it's great how the look transforms as events take place.

That's an impressive list Mike! I've bought a few helicopters over the years; from Alphasim/Virtavia I have the AH-64D, Merlin, Seasprite, Pave low, Sea King and now the CH-53. I prefer these heavier types over the light helicopters. Much stabler and easier to fly. The Nemeth/Milviz Skycrane/Tarhe is another one I really like.

I really wasn't planning on buying anything after I bought the C-17 last week, but I overlooked the CH-53 and decided that for less than $9 I needed to add this to the hangar, especially since its brother, the MH-53 Pave Low, is one of my favourite helicopters. The Sea Stallion flies just as good, has a nice cockpit and a real nice 'heavy' soundset. At avsim.com I found a repaint pack by Pierre Lheureux which was made for Fs9 but works in FsX too if you add a texture.cfg to each tecture folder.

Maarten started a thread Scenery Central Europe 1961 available now! in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

Available now at Flightsim.com and Avsim.com: FS2004 Scenery Central Europe 1961. This scenery package contains twelve airports in Germany, nine in the Netherlands, one in Luxembourg, three in Switzerland, and three in Austria, providing taxiways and details as they were at the beginning of the 1960's. Also includes the harbors of Rotterdam, Hamburg and Den Helder, all the lighthouses along the Dutch coast and some along the German coast, and the island of Helgoland, created from scratch. Although most of the airports of the package are for civil use, it also includes some Dutch military bases with AI and static aircraft. At many of the airports you will find moving crash tenders and at Amsterdam moving airport buses. Made as close as possible using available photos and information. The goal was to reflect something of the atmosphere and feel of that period, prior to the all-jet era of today. By Wolfgang Gersch, Harry Biard, Michael Schneider, Jaap de Baare, Nikko Yaginuma, Tom Gibson, Bernard Leuenberger and Mike Stevens. Cheers, Maarten
