    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.

For Steve (a bit off topic)

Steve,

As said I looked into the headgear the pilot did wear in the Dutch East Indies. On the first picture you see a group of pilots in front of a Curtiss fighter. My best guess is that the officers wear the peak caps and the lower ranks wear the side caps.
As you can see these are very different than the headgear worn in Europe.

The picture below shows general Gerard Berenschot who was in command of the KNIL forces. He is wearing the same peak cap but with a bit more gold added to it.

The colour was most likely the same as the blueish/green worn in Europe.

The peak cap you showed in your earlier post was worn by some Dutch pilots in the RAF it is indeed a rotary engine with a propeller, below the crown and above Laurel(?) leaves.

I hope this helps,

Huub
 
These paints... just... well....

AWESOME!!

Wow.. you guys are doing incredible work on this airplane. It may not be up there on my list of favorite airplanes, but dang.... I've got it in the hangar, and many of these great paint schemes in the aircraft menu.

Thank you to all!!!!

Douglas A20 Havoc Bombardier

Good evening friends,

my hanger (hard disk) is becoming too small for all those fine variants of this fantastic bird LOL.
Just a question concerning the bombardier in the front post. With his red cap on his head he is lokking quiet civil.
Using FSRepaint I do not see him, as the virtual cockpit mode does not work on this plane (on my old pc).
So I do not see him. I wonder if it might be possible to give him a more military look.
Steve and Huub do a fantastic work to give the pilot the right look. So will it be posible also for the bombardier?
Yours

Hi Papi.
I have been meaning too go on a cap hunt, I'll hunt it down and at least give the bombardier an olive drab cap.
