DM flightsim BAC 1-11

[walterleo]

Hi friends:
a good and a bad news:

The good one:
Exists a repaint of the BAC 1-11 475 of TIKAL JETS AIRLINES (Guatemala):
Here in its "natural environment":




The bad news:
David Maltby's homepage

www.dmflightsim.co.uk/

cannot be contacted now. Some days ago, it still did work.
His BAC 1-11 is still available via RIKOOOO:

Kind regards

Walter

Oh that sucks...but still a great screenie

Hi friends:

More of the BAC 1-11:

G-ASYD was the prototype and served 29 years as demonstrator and test aircraft in various configurations. It was used even for flights controlled remotely. After its faithful service its preserved at the Brooklands Museum.:

www.brooklandsmuseum.com/explore/our-collection/aircraft/bac-1-11

We can fly her in FS 2004 in the perfect simulation of David Maltby:



It is in the configuration BAC 1-11 475 HK means it has the shorter airframe, the power of the 500 version and sturdier legs to land on unpaved runways and it was hush-kitted to allow its use under stricter noise regulations.

Kind regards

Walter

Yes I have the same re the website, I visited CBFS but the links there to the files seem to have gone??

I have asked the question at CBFS

HMMM .... wasn't David MALTBY (his axtual downloadable files I mean) hosted on the SIMVIATION server ?

They were all accessible a couple weeks ago because I had to go there in order to verify something.

Ok

It appears the domain name has expired "The domain name expired on 14th May, and the registrar has disabled the site by changing the Nameservers.

From www.whois.com/whois/dmflightsim.co.uk:"

I guess the content is still on the Simviation server but no access as the domain ran out, hopefully Dave Maltby will look at that?

As we are also hosted by simviation simviation.com/hjg/ Im sure Dave if he is still about can drop the domain name and go with the simviation.com listing as we have done, but if he is not active then I guess the files will stay locked away

[M.I.B.]

In the meantime, until David's site hopefully comes back, you can "go back in time" and access it on the Wayback Machine (here), including the files, not just the bare website.

Some of the files seem to be archived, which means they can be downloaded straight off the archived site. Others are not. For those files which haven't been archived, you can simply copy-paste the download URL of a particular file, remove that part of the URL pertaining to the Wayback Machine and just leave the original URL (without the Wayback Machine part), hit enter, and the file should commence downloading straight from the Simviation servers. 

For instance, say you'd like to download the Trident 2 base pack. That file hasn't been archived on the Wayback Machine. So you have to copy the URL of the download link for the Trident 2 base pack found on David's archived website, which is: web.archive.org/web/20210126200738/http://www.simviation.com/hjg/DMFS/TRIDENT_2_20081209.zip Now you just have to remove that part of the URL that has to do with the Wayback Machine, then you end up with the following URL: www.simviation.com/hjg/DMFS/TRIDENT_2_20081209.zip which should allow you to download that file. It'd be such a shame for the FS community to lose access to some of the finest freeware aircraft ever made for FS9.

I have the full version of the David Maltby BAC 111 saved on my passport if people have trouble getting it. I'm not sure how to upload it to a website though

The DMFS BAC ONE ELEVEN simulations (panels and base packs) offered by HJG (in fact "all of" the DMFS simulations offered by HJG .... and which also now include a couple of expansions not previously offered by DM) are each the "FULL AND COMPLETE" versions based on DM's last compilations of these files.

This was all re-released by HJG during December 2021.

Not only are the HJG offerings of all DMFS simulations "full and complete" versions, but, each have also been edited to the extent that all previously known problems/issues with these simulations have been "repaired", as well as each also now being made properly FSX "portable" (with some minor new features also being added too). This "was not" the case with the last versions of these files offered by DM .... and among which a number of issues remained evident .... particularly in regard to engine startup phases with the BAC ONE-ELEVEN, COMET, and TRIDENT panels/simulations in particular as well as the FSX portability of these files.

This was all communicated during December 2021 and as follows ....

The entire content of this/"PART 2" relates to the HJG hosted DMFS files as follows ....


1. We've introduced "NEW" aircraft type specific base packs for TRIDENT 1C, TRIDENT 1E, TRIDENT SUPER 3B, and SUPER VC10 1154 (combi) .... each of which are supported by their own accompanying textures and customized FDE (which may be further customized later). Given the varying weight and engine thrust assignments each of these simulations does performs differently from their counterparts .... so long as one flies each simulation properly to start with of course


2. Thanks to Mike MONCE, we've developed and are offering separate "NEW" FDE packages for TRIDENT 2E, TRIDENT 3B, VC10 1101, VC10 1103 (combi), SUPER VC10 1151, and VC10/C1K .... to replace the original aircraft base pack contained FDE for each of these DMFS simulations. Similar FDE updates are "are" nearing completion for each of the BAC ONE-ELEVEN's and COMET's too, but, won't be available until later. These FDE updates are composed of separate FS2004 and FSX specific AIRCRAFT.CFG files only .... there's no need to change any of the AIR.FILE's.

PLEASE NOTE: These FDE updates are intended for use with "those simulations mentioned here-in only" .... not any of their other aircraft sub version counterparts.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: The new TRIDENT 1C, TRIDENT 1E, and TRIDENT SUPER 3B base packs already contain FDE's updated to the same standard.

PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: Each of these FDE update packages are located with aircraft type sections on their respective downloads pages and are "clearly hilited by yellow banners" .... one can't miss them


3. For a long time the original DMFS panels each contained a number of gauge compilation errors/limitations (causing issues in regard to APU and/or engine start-ups for the BAC ONE-ELEVEN's, COMET's, and TRIDENT's in particular) .... but .... thanks to George CARTY we've been able to successfully "FIX/REPAIR" these issues .... whilst also making each of the HJG hosted DMFS panels both FS2004 native and FSX portable.

PLEASE NOTE: All HJG hosted DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN, COMET, and TRIDENT panels remain both 2D and VC types .... whilst those for both the VC10 and VC10/C1K remain 2D type panels only .... all as originally compiled.

PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: The appearance/presentation and functionality of each of these "FIXED/REPAIRED" panels remains totally unchanged .... except for the fact that each now works better than previously.


4. Thanks to Benoit PLAMONDON we also have pleasure offering "NEW" engine type/aircraft type and FDE customized hi-fidelity sound packs for the entire HJG hosted DMFS flight line. All of these sound packs are based on authentic/actual R/W recordings .... in respect of both their interior and exterior audio elements and are also far superior to Benoit's much earlier released audio for these simulations. These sound packs are offered as separate FS2004 and FSX specific audio compilations .... and in addition to the original (FS2004 exclusive) DMFS audio which also remain accessible here too.

Our full statement can be read within the "Orientation Notes" accompanying the following-linked December 2021 Website Update Announcement ....


tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/10055/website-update-december-20th-2021


PLEASE NOTE: This editing and improvement should not be confused with that undertaken by a party completely unrelated (to HJG) prior to 2020 and for the DMFS BAC ONE ELEVEN panels only.

We appreciate you're new here and may not have been aware of these advances or any of the above information
