  • 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.

thanks

i haven't been to the VS forums in a while, has there been any more activity in the 25 thread?
 
Yeah....
They said it is due out right after the steerman comes out....
The steerman is out now....so it shouldnt be to long now.....
Myself and my daughter are like kids in a candy store waiting for this one.....
 
same, ive been waiting for this

I havent had any interest in fsx of late, and I think this might be the thing to get me flying and painting again
 
I just read in the vstudios forums, that possibly a VIP transport version will be made. Red Bull anyone! I love shinny things!!! ;)

It's not the same model type. A lot of differences between the B-25B/C/D's and the B-25J (of which most of those flying today are) - not to mention how much differences there are just within B-25B/C/D production alone. It would be like putting a P-40E or P-40N paint scheme on a P-40B/C, to try and portray a B-25J just through adding a paint scheme to a B-25B/C/D model, etc.

:d

Its got to be quite a challenge to pick a variant of the B-25 like the B-25B, C, or D, to research and try to model accurately, as 90% or more of the surviving B-25 population are of the B-25J or TB-25N type, and separating those earlier variants even more, from the B-25J types, are the B-25G and H models, which were yet another developmental stepping stone to get from the B-25D to the B-25J. You have to be very, very careful that you aren't adding details from one variant, that weren't present on the variant you are making.
 
As long as there is an RAAF paint or a paint kit so I can do some Aussie paints I will be happy.
 
That B-25 is looking great. If all I had in FS was a B-25 and a DC-3 I'd be content. Well, and a P-38. Ok, and an A-7. But that's all I need. And this lamp... Can't wait for the release of this beautiful ship.
 
I am very pleased to see this effort from Vertigo Studios. One of the most versatile platforms used in WWII, and no native FSX model...sadly lacking....(although I do appreciate the efforts from many modelers to adapt their excellent FS9 versions....)

I personally will be thrilled with any variant, although I agree that it's nigh impossible to please everyone, given the number an differing types that made it to the field, or were modified in the field. Check Big Lots Ad and Bilo Ad.


And yes, I would love to see some Aussie paints as well! :jump:
