    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.

P3D/P4D screenshots redux...oops!

The Crusader is also from Indiafoxtecho.

Actually think it's from the Royal French Navy and our member Sylvain.
Like Dino's Scooters but the RFN F-8 is my current favourite USN aircraft.
 


I think I like the darker deck more.



With a bit of blue underneath and the dots highlighted.

A-4M Skyhawk ll from VMA-214 out of MCAS El Toro

What's known in the auto trade here in the UK as a 'cut & shut', of the IFE A-4, using the front of the A-4F with the back of the TA-4J OA-4M, plus the nose of same. Got halfway through the paint before I realized there was a Black Sheep paint shipped with the original download....!

That looks really good, Dave.

I'm finally starting to get the hang of P3D after several hours of pulling hair!

This paint available?
 
That's mighty fine looking shot of the SLUFF on CV-65 Duckie - nice resolution and colors.

Thanks expat. I’ve been very pleased with the looks and the smooth operations of v4.5. Been a little cross eyed with the, to me, complicated addon system vs FSX. But I’m getting the reps in and the fog is beginning to clear.
 
Yeah, I have a few payware things - A2A planes - that use that addon method however almost all my aircraft and scenery is manually installed in the usual explorer folder places - the same way as FSX. Works very well!
 
RFN Carrier Gauge are great :)

I have my VS F6F installed and working. Sorry if this has been asked and answered but is there a way to get rid of the blue tint on the windscreen?

I think that happens to some FSX port-overs in P3D v4+. I did see a post somewhere that explained how to add a tint but not remove one. It might have to be put through MCX and have the glass materials tweaked.
 
Thanks Larry. Haven't had very much luck working with glass textures. I'll give it a look.
The secret is to convert the glass to PBS. I recollect someone telling me you could try turning off the dynamic reflections too.
