Re: Tim's Trials...

TBH, I've never really worked in FS9, even though I've had MSFS since DOS days. I was happy to use other people's work! I do have a copy of the program in strictly vanilla form so I can test the very few items I have made for FS9, but to work in FS9, FSX, FSX:SE and P3Dv4 and v5 is just too much! Pr...

Re: Tim's Trials...

Was it in the Jaguar package, Paul, or was that my imagination? I know it was included in Matrix (hidden amongst the waypoints, I think) but it was very basic. I’d forgotten that John had already shared screenshots of earlier versions of these airfields and his Andovers and sand C-130s, so I needn’t...

Re: HS Andover

Looking good, John! Those are the first C-130Hs in existence (1965) and, like the C-130K, were only lightly modified from the C-130E that continued on sale for another couple of years before all production shifted to the H. The only real difference from the E was the -15 engines. The Kiwi Hercs have...

Re: EGUL Traffic - P3D v3

You need to find the aircraft and install them in the sim. The F-15E, for instance is here: https://militaryaiworks.com/download-hangar/file-library/download/97-aircraft-models-fsx/269-ai-f-15c-f-15d-and-f-15e-fsx This file only includes a few Lakenheath paints, but it will get you started.

Re: Tim's Trials...

They look superb Tim. Great work! Thanks! Sadly, I'm afraid I haven't done a version for FS9. There is a Thorney Island for FS9 in the Download Hangar ( here ) by Brian Clarke. It really reflects the airfield as it looks under the Army's care, but it's a straightforward job to add some parking if y...

Re: Tim's Trials...

John will obviously make his own announcement when he's ready, and these teasers will make a bit more sense then and I'm not going to steal his thunder! I did trail these a while back, so hopefully he'll forgive me showing these distance shots. I'm looking at the possibility of doing a couple more a...

Re: New Laptop infos

Like MSFS, P3D needs a pretty beefy computer if you have any significant addons (and you need them if you want it to look good!). Also like MSFS, 512Gb is not enough if it's your only drive. My P3D content alone is over 600Gb (most of that is Orbx) whereas my MSFS, which is fairly vanilla, is about ...

Re: MSFS 2020

Good grief, the MSFS forums are as catty as Mumsnet! I'm glad I no longer spend any time there (MSFS - Mumsnet is much more entertaining!). Thanks for the explanation, Kulbit. I can't be arsed to put in all the effort required to do what you do. If I install AI, whether payware of freeware, I expect...

Re: flightsim.to

FSto insist that the TOS everyone objected to were dictated by their 'legal advisors'. However, the wording was exactly the same as several other sites, so I doubt that! I also doubt that they could afford bespoke corporate legal advice, and suspect that they asked a local legal practise to cast the...

Re: MSFS 2020

I've spent some time reading the FSHud forums. It would appear they're having the same problems with SU11 as everyone else! I wasn't aware that FSLTL used the same API, so that isn't particularly good news. However, both programs fail to provide traffic wherever you happen to open the sim, as is the...

Re: flightsim.to

The changes have already been made. Indeed, flightsim.to's TOS have changed several times over the last few days as they firefight the situation. I have no doubt that they had no intentions of acting in bad faith, but because the copy'n'pasted their TOS from modding sites for much larger AAA games t...

Re: MSFS 2020

Hmmm. I kind of read that as 'it's not ours so we won't use it', which I think is a shame. As you say, it needs programmers with time, knowledge and motivation, and we don't have them. But we do have creators with time, knowledge and motivation to produce the content. Whether MAIW likes it or not, t...

The larger ones are withdrawing to their own sites (such as Rainer at simmershome.de), others going back to Avsim and flightsim.com, Simviation or FlyAway. flightsim.to are starting to throw their teddies out of the cot and blocking users, closing forums on Discord and kicking developers off their s...

It would appear that flightsim.to is now running to catch the horses that have bolted, let alone shut the stable door! They've updated the site several times over the last 24 hours. KL791, whose Global Shipping project is among their most popular downloads, has left the site along with several other...

If you tried to enforce it in Togo, you'd struggle! Togo's domain is .tg. .to is Tonga. I think that the origin of the domain suffix is irrelevant in any legal proceedings. If it wasn't, any arguments over the content on .com domains would have to be held in the US, wherever the businesses were regi...

Re: flightsim.to

Flightsim.to has become a business rather than an enthusiast-run site. It claims that these terms (other than the right to delete content) have been in place since the site started, and are common in the ‘modding’ community. That doesn’t make them ethical or legal, and I suspect a funded challenge w...

And they have tonight modified and explained their policy and ToS. I still think they are taking a mile having been given an inch, but it's good to know that they have acknowledged the community's disquiet. I would be careful about uploading anything to that site until we've seen how ethically they ...
