    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.

Here are a couple shots of my Golden Pearl Harbor.

First, a wider view of Ford Island. As you can see, there wasn't much else but pavement on Ford Island by the end of the thirties. You can see Battleship Row on the east side and Carrier Row on the west. Everyone's heard and read of Battleship Row. Carrier Row isn't as well known, presumably because it was vacant on a certain Sunday morning in December 1941.

The little dots are the aircraft scattered around the field.

This one is Hickam Field, across the loch from Ford Island.

I don't know why they've always called the bays in Pearl Harbor lochs. That's the Scottish word for lake. They weren't lakes, they were parts of a salt water harbor connected to the sea, not lakes.

As I mentioned my post above, the paved areas are historical but the details are just rough approximations.

The donationware P51 B/C with a repaint by Sopwith Chameleon. I really loved the model when it was released, although it actually looks so simple now. I think I paid $2 for it...... Now it has become freeware.

The Skyunlimited P51 B/C the repaint is most likely done by John "Bomber_12th" Terrell. I bought this set mainly for the early versions.

And the ultimate version of the P51 B/C for FS2004. The Warbirdsim model with a default repaint. Absolutely one of the best models done for FS2004!

Hi Huub,
I'm trying to find the The donationware P51 B/C. Is it the one in the Donationware library?
The Skyunlimited P51 B/C & Warbirdsim... Where can I dind those? Payware or freeware?

I found Robert Dial's P-51, mainly for the Pink Floyd Eclipse texture for it.

Before my laptop was 'stolen' I had all of them.. 'Sigh'..
 
Hi Robin,

The donationware P51 can be found in the donationware section of our library. There are two versions. The one with the birdcage canopy and the version with the Malcolm hood. Add-Ons Library - FS9 - SOH Forum (sim-outhouse.com)
There are loads of repaints for these models.

The Skyunlimited P51 is most likely not available anymore (at least not that I'm aware of). I purchased it for the A-36 and early P51/Mustang versions. But this gap has been filled by Allen's recent CFS2 conversions of the stock CFS3 P51 model. The SU P51 B/C is superior to the donationware model. But for me the donationware model is more attractive due to the large amount of repaints.

The Warbirdsim model is still payware, although the FS2004 version is hard to find and quite expensive. There are two sets. WarbirdSim Mustang P51 B C & III Fighter Leader I and the WarbirdSim Mustang P51 B C & III Fighter Leader II set. The Leader I set is the set with droptanks and the Leader II set has bombs and contains a F-6C reconnaissance version. Both have different contain different liveries, but there are plenty repaints available in the library.

I was able to find the leader I set at PC Aviator ( PC Aviator - The Flight Simulation Company! ), although it is advertised with pictures from the leader II set! (The description is correct)
The leader II set can be found at SimShack ( North American P-51 Mustang Fighter Leader II for FS2004 by Warbirdsim (simshack.net) ).

Since I have purchased the Warbirdsim version I didn't do much with other models anymore. This model is really among the very best models ever made for FS2004!

Cheers,
Huub

The 'target' planes in my earlier Mig 21 shots are from another CD set featuring Cold War aircraft - I'll to look for it today - I seem to recall that it was for FS2 as well as FS9 and that the virtual cockpits were crude but the rest of it very nice; very good for setting up these 'interception' scenarios for the Sabre and the Mig etc. Btw, both of those were freebies from PC Pilot Magazine and I can supply full details of the fantastic F-86 (by "SectionF8" if you want

They are from Just Flight's "Air Power Cold War" for Flight Simulator 98 & 2000 AND CFS2 with "29 legendary aircraft". You do get the option of loading them into a more recent sim while going through the installation, so I opted for FS9. Unfortunately what you get then are models which look crude up close and with bits missing (the Yak takes off without its undercarriage and the Vulcan has an airbrake stuck in the open position). BUT - they look just great from a distance so make good enemy aircraft for your screenshots

This Air Power disc was one of three in one of those old red box sets which also includes CFSww2 Europe and Pacific Command Pilot
 
Quick question for Huub Vink, was wondering if you have tried to convert the Warbirdsim model to CFS2? Would be happy to purchase the Warbirdsim version if I thought it would convert into CFS2. I'm still flying that old sim and have the SU P-51's and enjoy them, but can never have enough.

BTW, Sopwith Chameleon, I use many of your repaints for CFS2 and believe the are among the finest available for the CFS2! They look great after all this time.
