    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.

Milviz F-100D is out

Zsolt! Fantastic. One thing, don't forget the interior gun radome! otherwise looks perfect! :D
 
The very first Fighter I ever worked on out of Tech School was the F-100. The 7272nd Flying Training Wing (Wheelus AB, Libya). I have yet to find anything useable for a repaint. Most photos are in B&W and color images are so small no details are recognizable. If anyone ever comes across something that can be used I'd be grateful.

Look familiar at all?

You could try F-100.org or the 20th TFW site. Plenty there though detail close up is difficult. I remember talking to you about this one when I did it for the donationware one some years back because I borrowed your excellent paint kit. One question I have is that some 20th TFW aircraft look to be painted ADC grey - was that the case or was it just the photography??

Fantastic Gentlemen! Hope you're all thoroughly enjoying the Hun!! Looks like it to me! :jump: Dave, I've noticed that many B/W photos are terrible at transferring whether something was painted or simply not clean and reflective. Depending on cloud cover etc. The bare metal in BW can often times not look reflective at all even though it was to a certain degree.

Yea, that one would suffice for sure, although we had a different livery for the Training Wing which is what I was looking for. I rarely did anything with the 20th aircraft, they had their own maintainers so I can't say for sure. I know the 7272nd birds were all aluminum/bare metal.

Alternate FW-189 texture set.

DO NOT to replace the original texture set please. This is simply my take, based on my own flavor. Hope you enjoy. Uploading at SOH now. Should be available soon.
