    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 some time I am working on this model, this is the first test to check the textures that have been applied so far and the size of the mdl so that it does not grow too much as well as the polygons of it, I still have several parts pending to add the textures, as well as all the aerial wing of the deck and all the animations

Impressive undertaking, I'd not seen one before.
It will be perfect for the MV-22. (see below)

I was on her sister in pearl for a forenoon during RIMPAC '14 for several briefings and conferences, she was the Command Ship for all Maritime interceptions and boarding's for that exercise

The equivalent to my role took me for a tour around the ship, she was unbelievably clean for a warship, they definitely took care of her

I took this from our FLTDK

I dont want to be to picky, however naval ships at sea fly their sea ensigns from the main mast

its only when in harbour, anchor or at the buoy they shift their flags at both ends

any ship with a flight deck of any sort will most definitely will strike any staff at sea that may inhibit flying operations

any possibility of relocating the sea ensign
 
Ready

After some time and many tests with some animations the model is finished, no bug in my test in P3D V3.4
 
Lights & Signalers

I particularly like the spot lights on the island and those logically placed for hatches, ladders, small boat decks and stair platforms.
The animated signalers with lighted wands and protective clothing are a nice touch.
