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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
[WIP] Solomon 1943 V.2.0

Thanks guys, the trip is fantastic, now we stay around Brisbane for a couple of days.
As for the Solomons, the project has gotten very complex, almost like a second job. But it is almost finished, so I expect that it can be released after the vacation in Oz.
cheers, Mark

Great to hear about the solomons.....Enjoy your time their....
Wow Mark!!
First off, congratulations!
Second, looking forward to the new scenery!! A lot!!
Trird: I just returned from a holiday with the family on Australia's east coast, from Sydney to cape Tribulation. So I envy you being there now ;-)
If possible, try to do a sailing/snorkling trip in the Whitsundays. Go with Silent Night, a nice racing sailing ship, great crew, great excusions and snorkling, you won't regret those 2 nights at sea, with the 2 great days on each side (afternoon, full day, morning). I did it with the family, and didn't regret it!
Cherio, Rob

Hey,
thanks, guys (mates, hehe), for the whishes, much appreciated. Back again now after 5 weeks in Australia. Rob, we've been to the Whitsundays and it - again - was like paradise. Been there for the second time now. We went with Mantaray cruise to Hook Island and Whitsunday for snorkeling, as well as whalewatching with another boat. We also went all the way up to Cape Trib. Unfortunatly, I missed visiting the Caboolture vintage aviation museum with their flyable Mustang, Boomerang etc. But there's always a third time
We're thinking about relocating anyhow....
As you can see by the screenshot I enjoy flying around the Solomons for the first time in five weeks, now I can get back to work on it again!
Cheers,
Mark

I decided to make Barakoma, Segi and maybe Ondonga also photoreal. Had some problems with scenery objects there and wanted to build them from scratch. Might as well paint them then, I thought...
Here's a shot of a very early development of Barakoma. Colors have to be matched, as well as the blend mask for the shoreline. But the geography is OK now, also the basic layout of the airfield as well as the painting of the runway (did that in GIMP).

Mark

OK, this was todays work. Still some blending to do, as well as placing objects and vegetation. But it's almost done!
Good night,
Mark

It's progressing nicely, Barakoma is almost done.
The AF/Navy flightline on the northern end of the runway:
VMF-214 still seem to have some old F4U1a in operation:
Maintenance work:
But the 1c Corsair is already on the field:
Ready tents and tower:
Maintenance area:
Way to go!

It's the FSD P-38J Lightning, the repaint is one of many gorgeous works from Jan.
