    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.

Screenshots

This looks great :applause: I took a break from mission building and will slowly returning to it, have some more missions planned from the Japanese side that I would like to finish before maybe going to the ETO.
 
Weren't those drop tanks also used as the basis for that "fast ambulance/evac" pod for a wounded man? Or maybe a smaller tank? From pictures I saw this looks scary as hell...

Yes, and there's also a version with a glass front for a cameraman - that was used to film some F4U strikes at Okinawa!!!

The photo seems to show one of these pods under the port wing, but nothing at all under the starboard wing. Must have made for interesting trim to hold level flight... :dizzy:
 
I just discovered that my version 3.5.99 FRAPS does NOT work in Widdows11 anymore with the latest update (thank you very much Micro$oft)! I will try another screensot utility that I have saved and post the results.

cheers:

Asymmetric payloads were more common than you think...

... "Vampire Squadron" has a slew of missions out of Stirling from the early/mid-'44 period with one tank & 1 x 500lb bomb as a payload.
 
Never seen this sort of rocket launchers. Were they a field modification?
I like this snake paint scheme!

459th fighter squadron used them against JAP fortifications in Burma during the autumn of '44.

Check out ACWai's P-38 thread for more screenshots of 459th squadron schemes.

The Devil is coming

"Gabelschwanzteufel" is coming soon. Wishing you a Happy New Year! We have just finished building this aircraft. I have just finished painting this paint scheme based on UncleTgt's template. UncleTgt still needs to tune the airfile and tests it in a mission. There are still a lot of work left...
