    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.

Flight Replicas Douglas DC-4/C-54/Carvair Released

As always, I am super impressed with the level of accuracy and attention to detail of Flight Replicas aircraft, down to the numerous production and post-production differences throughout the aircraft from one variant to another. If you jump back and forth between just the C-54A and B alone, there are all kinds of differences throughout the exteriors and cockpits, down to differences between early and late style instruments, instrument layouts, switches, radios/antennas and even the oxygen regulators are different, with the early and later styles - not to mention jumping back and forth between the original production-era examples and the post-production/more modern era examples, with all of the differences in layouts, hardware, paint finishes, upholstery, etc. In particular, I really like the overhead windows added in the water bomber variant, which are great when it comes to making tight high-banking turns. The detail in the engines is also incredible, as is how the entire forward cabin is modeled/textured in such great detail (and accuracy), including the navigator and radio operator stations. At one time, I could never have imagined having such detailed and complete versions of these aircraft for flight sim - it is fantastic!

Some repaint ideas when the paintkit becomes available - the Blue Angels R5D 50868 from the 1960's, and the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation's restored/currently flying C-54 "Spirit of Freedom" (after its most recent refinish/repaint).
 
Some shots of the Navy R5D variant:

Will get the dc4 for sure, but can i ask: is there any possible purchase package discount for people who buy both versions (fsx/p3d)?
I´m on the currency conversion problem too. If i buy both it will be too expensive. At least for now. :encouragement:

Rich, if you want to fly Truman´s "Independance" you have to buy PMDG DC-6. There is a nice VC-118 livery available.

Sorry Jens Christensen!

Looks like the days of Jens Dc-4 are over. I used it and loved it a lot but this package is awesome!
Ok, I am deaf now because of the engine sounds but that´s just fine...
Can´t wait for some nice repaints by Matt - a Buffalo maybe?
(P3Dv4 version works under FSX Se too.)
Cheers, Marc
 
Here's my first attempt at using the paintkit:
