    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.

Nice looking repaint? Is that a 787? and, if so, which one - freeware or payware?

Dash 7 on short final

Milton's FANTASTIC Dash 7 just coming in over the fence.. And actually, this is my heavily modified one to use as an AI and replace one of the godawful default Dash 8's in my world!! It took a LOT of tweaking.. some bad language.. and a few "walk away..come back tomorrow" moments while editing the AIR and CFG files to make it work in the ai world.. but I'm VERY happy now.
And if anyone wants the cfg. you are welcome to it! I can post it here for copying and pasting!
PS.. FIRST AIR is my own invention,.. kind of a 'worldwide generic feeder airline that won't look too out of place anywhere in the fs world.. hence the LACK of a reg. on this airplane. :)

My latest 206 scheme just flying along the coast

Well, after my marathon project painting EVERY scheme worn by TWA Constellations, I started flying my 206 again, and have now done three full civvie paints. Two retro 1967 and 1971 paints, and then decided to do something a bit 'splashy'..

A completely built from scratch repaint of the Bell 206 JetRanger with it's red on white base scheme adorned with ficticious FIRE-RESCUE markings, Queensland Fire crest, and Aussie reg. Although ANY reg and crest could easily be applied using the paint psd templates I have created. Even civil TV helo's!

Look at this helicopter as a member of the "supporting cast" in a TV show about Firefighters working in Northeast OZ.. :)

@Wombat, Is that the Whirlwind by Ito-San (updated by Lionheart) or is the Whirlwind by "Classic Warbird Design Team"?

The CWDT one, was really sensational when it was released, as it contained an awful lot of (normally) hidden details!

Cheers,
Huub
 
Huub, the white nosed 'Whirlibomber' is CWDT while 'P7102' is the updated Ito-San version.
Seems as if I've had them for ages but they're still great, a sadly over looked aircraft IMHO.
:encouragement:

Both are great models. But somehow the Westland Whirlwind isn't actually the first aircraft which pops-up when I am re-installing FS2004. As the models are definitely great, perhaps the subject isn't that popular.

I've started another challenge........... Creating a paintkit for an older Aeroplane Heaven model is always full of surprises :biggrin-new:. But I thought the double bladed Hurricane deserved some extra skins.............

Cheers,
Huub

Good to hear you're going to give the 2 bladed Hurricane some attention, Huub. It's definitely an overlooked model.

Since we're on the subject of the "Whirlwind"... I believe it was Lionheart that re-worked Kaz Ito's classic version. That model came out really looking sweet with a new 2D and very functional VC. He changed the airfile to make the plane fly like a piston engine bird, and added some superb "what if" paints. I re-worked the props a little...

BB686:US-flag:
 
Does anyone know where I can find the textures with the spinner colours? For the 3 bladed propeller they are at the texture "AH_hurricane_spinexpro", but for the 2 bladed propeller I'm still in the dark.......

Aeroplane Heaven used to put a lot of generic textures in the main texture folder, but so far I haven't been able to identify the texture..

Cheers,
Huub
