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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

I'm more interested in that Hurricane. It's not the Patrick Didier model, at least as we know it.

Looks like a skin that's been in John's pages at Reg's for some years...

Sorry Chaps, It's the payware Sky Unlimited Hurricane, I started skins for it a long time ago, and I just finished them up, and added bump maps!
I've got a lot of affection, and have had a lot to do with the PD Hurry as some of you might know, but this is a better looking model, just that it's payware!
The H1 is a MAW leftover, it's Luca's model, Ted did start some pit work on it, I need to get it back off him and try and get it out there, it's such a nice model, it shouldn't be stuck on the shelf!
Reason for the screen shots is just to see if there is any interest really?

Well indeed. I couldn't have made the connection between the two, it looks so different with a new skin. And while it looks different from the PD model I wouldn't say that it's right either, just... different! Some work on the PD version could probably produce a superior result and it wouldn't be such a frame rate hog.

It looks nice John, the wings in particular are superior to the PD model. I also like that they put a proper Rotol spinner on the Mk.I. Might just have to start reallocating some burger money...$12.95 isn't at all unreasonable. They mention 9 models on the site, but don't list them, can you tell me what is covered? I'm thinking it isn't enough to cover all the PD variants. The PD series is one I have in my sights for an overhaul for use with a certain future project. Also, is the main texture all on one sheet?
A new Ta 152H-1 wold be quite welcome, it's the ultimate piston engine fighter IMO. Though I hate to think what I'd have to do to make an engine with a three-speed supercharger AND GM-1 AND MW-50.

Dan you can count me in for a PD Hurry overhaul, I spent a lot of time with it in MAW.
As for the SU Hurry yea it covers the MKI, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIb Trop, IIc, IIc Trop, IId, and IId Trop. Yes it's mapped on one sheet.
Rene has a point, it's far from perfect, some things were rushed out, and skins are limited, because the mapping is pretty shocking in places! lol

lol Sorry Dan.
The Ju 87D was made by Luca for MAW, but because it was a phase two aeroplane, and as we know MAW phase two never happened, it has been stuck on a shelf for years, same goes for the H1, both models need v pits, that's the only reason they were shelved. I have tried in the past to get them sorted, but nothing has ever come of it?
