  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Douglas A20 Havoc

Something interesting. The RAAF labelled some of their Bostons as Boston IIIs. They also had some G models but I am curious as to what model the Boston III was. Perhaps a C model?

Just thought I'd tell anyone interested the June issue of AEROPLANE magazine has a database feature on the A-20. Good stuff!
 
Douglas A20 Havoc 2D panel

Hallo friends,
just some minutes ago I have send to this site my 2D panel for the Havoc.
It is based on a bmp done by Gaucho_59.
It is not really finished. I originally did it for the Alphasim Boston III but never finished it.
I now have tried to make it match as possible to Milton's A20. As I doesn't know if Milton will include a 2D panel
of it's own in the final release. If he will do so the topic will be off for me. Otherwise if there will be interest I will continue work on this panel.
For that I nedd that some one will test it and tell me what to change or do better.
I know there is still a lot to do on it.
Please see it just as a prototype
Yours
Papi
 
That is looking good Michael. I have no idea if the Boston is coming with a 2D panel.
I have a question for the RAF specialists about mission markings carried on RAF bombers. I have only one side image available for my Lorraine Sqn, 1944 paint, and need to know if mission marks where painted on just one side of the forward fuselage or on both ?
Here is what I have so far.

Thanks
Steve
