FSX68 replied to a thread Virtavia MH53 Cockpit lights in FSX General Discussion

Thanks for the tip, it worked! I am enclosing the light section to show what I did to alleviate the issue. I wish that Virtavia aka Alphasim would QA check their work before putting a FOR SALE sign on it. I mean, with other commodities, you can tell BEFORE you purchase if it's got issues and decide to buy it or not. With software, I guess it's buy it on good faith and if its flawed; you hold your hat in hand and hope you can contact the DEV and tell 'em of issues and hope they are receptive to it all. At any rate, thank very much for your suggestion. Most helpful. Wish Virtavia would of stepped in and advised me, I know they read SOH and read my problem but Nooooooooo, it's kaa-ching....see 'ya!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$ It's all 'bout the Benjamins!!!! They don't even advertise an email address, they use to when they were Alphasim. //Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing

PRB replied to a thread Star Trek: Into Darkness in The NewsHawks

Did you say yoot? What's a yoot? :icon_lol: :icon_lol: I read someplace that the "technical talk" on Star Trek was a result of the director instructing the actors to just "say stuff that sounds technical". They had no idea what they were even saying, which is pretty funny. Rgr Bussard Ramjet collectors. Now those would work. But you have to be going pretty darned fast, as you know...

Rami started a thread I have a question for WWII ETO air buffs... in The NewsHawks

Hey guys, I know it's a little unusual for me to be asking this type of question...but sources for what I'm researching are extremely limited, and I thought y'all might be able to point me in the right direction. Whilst I am in the midst of working on a few projects, my scattershot mind is starting another one, and I'm struggling to find good sources. I am looking for information on the 20th Fighter Group...the primary operators of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning in the ETO until July of 1944, when they switched to the P-51. 1) They were based at RAF Kings Cliffe. 2) They flew a long-range escort mission to Bordeaux, France at the end of 1943.

We will be airborne, heading to the IOM again. I'm collecting a KTM 990 to ride around the IOM (not racing!!) and for a couple of weeks tour of Ireland. And it's not an extravagance, the bike is in sort supply and a good financial investment for resale when we return to Oz. We are staying at the 'Waterfront Apartments' in Douglas, not far from the circuit. I'll try to check in from time to time but after the TT our plans are very fluid, one day at a time. :jump::jump:

TARPSBird replied to a thread USS Enterprise CV-6 in FSX General Discussion

Big E did have hydraulic catapults throughout her service life. When she went through the 1943 overhaul in Bremerton she got new cats as shown on the Vertigo model, which BTW is the 1944-45 configuration she finished the war with. A real shame that Enterprise was not preserved rather than scrapped. How nice it would be to come aboard and visit the ready rooms or walk around the flight deck, you could feel the history. :USA-flag:

FSX68 started a thread Virtavia MH53 Cockpit lights in FSX General Discussion

I just purchased the Virtavia's MH-53 and was doing some night flying and noticed that only the pilot's cockpit lights will illuminate. When I hit the "L" key, the co-plots light will come on, briefly then go out leaving only the pilots lights working. Is there some kind of fix for this or what? I closed out FSX and did a refire and chose the MH-53 only to have the same issues. Any one else experience this?

My prayers to the folks in Oklahoma. We got slammed here on the north side of town with one in '06 that killed several people. I keep a national weather radar site bookmarked to keep an eye on storms that might be heading my way ever since that last one. What rolls through NE Texas and Oklahoma usually ends up here within about 36 hours. Think I'll go check flashlights and stuff..... Anyone else who is east of that storm front best be prepared to hunker down.

Jagdflieger replied to a thread carrier take offs in CFS2 General Discussion

I think that Vidal and Shadow Wolf have part of the solution for you. Many planes, including the stock MS CFS 2 aircraft, don't use lift in the flaps as that confuses the AI performance for some reason. Given that, I usually keep stock planes with stock flight models for AI use and then use a properly built air file for the player planes. I'm able to then get off of the decks, especialy, if as noted above, you have your CV steaming at 28 to 30 knots into the wind. Setting wind up is best done in the Mission Builder. The green ghost gauge can be set up to act as a catapult or super WEP, but it's been a while since I've used it. Perhaps one of our more nautically inclined members can fill you in on that. If not, instructions come with the gauge. It used to be available here, but if it's AWOL, you can get it at the larger sites.

Jagdflieger replied to a thread NAS Ft Worth, JRB Carswell Field in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

Lookin' good Falcon. I'll bet that you were stationed there at some point in your career. In the early 70s when I was stationed at Fort Hood (3 hours south), I used to go to the BX on Carswell while visiting my Uncle who was stationed there with SAC. Watching a gaggle of Buffs blast out along with their KC-135s was a sight and sound that will live with me forever. The sky was black from the water injected exhaust of all those engines at maximum take off thrust. Oh yeah, there used to be fair bass fishing on the lake on the north side of Carswell. When flying my AS/Virtavia B-36, I generally take off from Carswell and fly up to Eielson AFB in Alaska and then often over to Thule in Greenland before heading back to Texas.

Jagdflieger replied to a thread Lindbergh Flies the Atlantic, 1927 86yrs ago in The NewsHawks

As a young lad, I just could never figure out how he flew that aeroplane with the gas tank where the windshield should have been. Still can't quite imagine it. As you all probably know, Lucky Lindy had rock star fame after that, and suffered the kidnapping and killing of his son possibly as a result. He fell into disfavor with the US Government due to his active membership in, what was it, the America First organization? He was stripped or resigned his commission in the army reserve over it all and was denied service with the military in WWII. As an employee of Lockheed, he went on to pioneer fuel saving techniques for the P-38s in the SW Pacific and if stories are to be believed, shot down a couple of Japanese aeroplanes.

Ferry and Francois, Thanks for the answer on my question. I suspected the same even before I asked it. I understand the sensitivities of Europeans, but the fully restored vehicles with authentic markings just beg to have a similarly dressed crew. At any rate, love the photos and I wish that I could have been there! I hope to get to Europe again later this year and I want to put the Netherlands on the schedule If I can, I will shoot you guys a PM and hopefully we can hoist your best dutch brew and talk about "Sonderkraft Farhzeuge mit Ketten und gepanzerte Kampfwagen." By the way, perhaps 20 years ago, while on leave visiting my parents in Western Colorado, we were driving on Interstate 70 between the small towns of Debeque and Parachute and there was a SdKfz 251 parked in the sage desert with no one about just north of the highway. It wasn't painted authentically, but was camouflaged none the less. It was in the middle of nowhere. I never could figure that one out.

falcon409 started a thread NAS Ft Worth, JRB Carswell Field in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

Taking shape, but it's slow going right now. The AFCAD is a bear because it's so intricate as you can see from these shots. Lots of left over areas from the SAC days that are utilized by the Marine and Navy folks. Right now the 301st area on the North end is where I've spent the most time (naturally, lol), the Navy area is just taking shape as is the Tower and Fire Dept. A lot more to do just in those two areas, then there's the C-130 area to the west of the F-16's, the Bomb Dump farther to the west and then Lockheed Martin across the rwy. It'll be quite awhile before it's ready and with my luck, about the time I finish, someone will announce that they've done Carswell with all custom 3D buildings, individual jets with the correct tail numbers and animated figures that launch and recover the 16's, lol. This is being done using the object libraries for the MAIW packages, so whenever it is done, those that download it will have to have those libraries to see anything.

Hey, If you're referring to sc7500, I keep in contact with him on a regular basis. Without going into extreme detail, Bruce (sc7500) has some major health issues, and goes through what I can only describe as sheer hell to try and maintain a modicum of normalcy, despite his health issues. The treatments he is forced to endure have pretty substantial side effects, including partial blindness, fuzzy vision, and other issues. Until they get things right again, he's taking a break from CFS2 because he can't focus his eyes enough to do any .dp work. I lift him up in prayer frequently, believe me.
