  • 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.

A big tip of the hat toTim"piglet" Conrad...

I still have 5 more to upload.... just doing the 're-tweaking' ...;)

....like this one...not a PC-7 but a 9 in reality...

And this one....came with Tim's original release ... but I chased up some quirky details...like the map of Alaska on the tail so it'd look clean in 4096.

Just had a major hand operation so am limited to left-handed fiddling....for the moment.
Trying to get a 'chrome' spinner....but i think there may be imosed limitations on the model texture as the closest i end up with is more like high-gloss grey. No amount of messing with the spec and alphas seems to help. Maybe i just flew into some cloud and lost my contrast....;)
 
Cast and bandage is off...so I can hold a mouse again.
Just the stitches and rehab to deal with.
Meanwhile....301 revised....then on to 302 and I can upload a bunch...;)

attachment.php


Edit....and there's 302 redone...;)

After months of Dupuytren's in my little finger it's a nice change to have them all pointing the same direction....

Meanwhile....early start on a Dutch one....

Looks like it's the 131 squadron EMVO ...a bird in a triangle...but can't find a detail shot.....yet.
 
Well....I found a cloth patch version....and repainted it....
This is about done....now for the later black version...;)

Read in my 'travels' that the black was chosen as being more visible than this yellow/red/white one..... gotta be a turn up for the cards...;)

USMC Super T

Just a little what if livery. If the USMC had purchased the Super T and re activated VMO-2. I may do a VMO-1 aircraft as well. JAFO, I borrowed your Mauritania repaint as a template.

Looks cool...;)
Reminds me I should be uploading the paint kits for both the Super Tucano and the PC-7 ....though I'd really like to catch up with Tim first...for his OK.
Last time I 'spoke' to him was when I was uploading the A12A Avenger II paint kit rework.
 
Did one of these for the Super Tucano....so had to check how much was involved in getting it onto the PC-7.....answer....not too hard...even though the layouts are quite different...;)

One thing led to another and I'm now in the midst of a full rework of my 'kit'. Too much of it was OK, but NQR.... not when you're looking at it at pixel level.
I found a few alignments that were close...but not close enough.... and of course one layer affects all the rest ... so it's taking some time.

A few bits still have to be fudged...as there are limits to the mapping.... like these teeth...;)

Quaintly....that spinner looks like concentric circles from this angle...but it's actually a spiral ...;)
