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.
- 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.

RCAF C-45 Expeditor
Another master piece for sure, a float version is an excellent idea.
Jankees , as always a big fan of yours !! ....... how bout C-45 Expeditor in Royal Canadian A/F markings ?? ( FSX )
We had a couple of training squadrons of these in 50"s and 60's.
Here's hoping !!
Cheers for now

Ooooo, I'd like that one too! Almost an exact copy of ours.
How is it on framerates? My system is a bit old and the last planes of Carenado are very "heavy" (Fokker F50 and Saab340). So i am sitting on the fence to buy it - do not need another one for the hangar
All the Best

Dirk, I don't know your system specs but if you have some planes where it takes 8-10 seconds or more before the textures even appear on the plane in the aircraft preview screen you should consider what frame rates you get with those planes before you buy the Carenado D18. It is a beautiful plane but I had to reduce the size of the main texture, bump map, and specular DDS files to get it to fly on my system without getting the "your system has run out of memory" prompt at some point in the flight. Even then I was getting just 10-14 FPS over downtown San Diego, flying out of Miramar. Certainly not a fault of the plane, but rather my own dated system. When I update my system I'm sure it will perform like it should and look great.

ok before I pull the trigger on this can anyone tell me how it renders and performs on an I7 @3.6 in FSX/A with a 1050Ti card ?
even better - does anyone have this Beech 18 AND the new Bulldog and can compare performance on any rig (the same rig) regardless of horsepower ?
The worst thing in the world lol to me is buying an FSX plane I can't use because of poor performance, render lag, etc..

Skip it - rather than take a chance (and already having Milton’s Beech) I’ve gone a different way.
besides, anytime there is even a hint of a ‘problem’ with FPS or render lag I’ve finally learned to just opt out.
The Bulldog looks good but I’ve already got the Fury and I never use it.
Bought the DHC3 from JF because AH never lets me down - I dont need all the systems modeling if a flight means an average of 15 FPS...get me in the ballpark and let me have my 30 every time

Guess I screwed up the image link. This was what our bird looked like. I'd love to have a repaint of it.
Note that ours was painted silver, where the army version above was painted gray. Either way, much easier to keep it looking nice than bare metal!

US Army D18S Repaint
I might give the U.S. Army one a go. It's a ton easier than the USN ones in Intl Red Orange I was looking at. A lot different than the USN one they include. It looks too like the USAF can be done at the same time with just a different layered marking. Let's see how I can apply Bill Womack's layering technique and start with Carenado's background PSD file. Watch for my progress unless I go nuts and scream. LOL. Just kidding. I've painted a T-44 from their C-90 a while ago so its off to the paintshed.
