  • 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.

    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.

First of a series I'm working on finishing up. I'm doing three schemes worn by F-8J's of VFP-63 during the 70s
through early 80s at NAS Miramar (aka "Fightertown" at the time). This first one was the CO's ride in 1974.

Look forward to these.

The F-8's MB seat was a lot more difficult to remove than the F-4s. I don't ever remember removing one without losing some skin on my knuckles! NC

Are you forgetting the canopy had to be removed on F4 to get seat out .... as for putting it back on again with those spherical bushes in hinges that had to be aligned

I don't remember having to ever take a F-4 canopy off to get the seat out. I recall having to rotate the seat forward, yes, but no canopy removal. I DO remember taking the canopy off A-7s a LOT though. NC
 
Thank you to RFN for this stunning bird ! What a GIFT :triumphant: payware quality for sure :encouragement:

Hi Gaz,
I strongly suggest (if not done already) to install the carriers created by Sylvain and the RFN, they fit the Crusader, Etendard, Zéphyr and Alizé like a glove!!!
There are different configurations corresponding to the different operational eras of the Crusader in the French Navy.
Have a good flight!!!

Stéph.
 
I'm not a rivets counter simmer but when speaking about weapons ... seriously speaking, I wonder if it should be simple and possible to paint in black the bottom of the guns fairings to simulate the
guns and to give more deep to the inside :pirate:

You mean like black or a sooty look like the guns were fired?
