  • 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.

These look great. Where can these repaints and the improved cockpit be downloaded? I'll have to move my A-29 from "Davis Monthan" {my archive folder} back to active status.

The uploads are here in the 'Warbirds Library' ....look under 'new'.
I haven't released my widescreen 2D panel as yet....more to fiddle with...;)
 
I'm still 'fiddling' with my paintkit....and have revised the linework, adding 'dirt' and panel colouring.

Here's the 'before'...

...and here's the 'after' ...;)

Afghan AF version as at Moodys AFB has been uploaded here.
There's a pic of it looking particularly dirty [must have been fuelled with diesel] so I did it that way...;)

Edit....note....this particular critter has external armour plates on the fuse.....they're not modelled so I've ignored them.

Edit 2 .... the Burkina Faso one has also been uploaded here...

Hi Mister Jafo! I was thinking about the armour plates on the afghan bird : could be possible to reproduce them
drawing them as any other lines of the paint? On the real plane they are very evident and distinctive so rather than nothing ...
I know NOTHING about painting so excuse me if my suggestion is not possible! One more time THANK YOU for all
your beautiful paints!:very_drunk:

I thought of that but they're quite 3 dimensional so a flat-paint representation of it would look like a cardboard cutout....just a little too 'fake'.
I'll add the 'shapes' to my paint and post a screenshot to see whether people would accept it as a compromise...;)

Edit....here's what I came up with....down and dirty 'quick fix'....will always look 'OK' in a screenshot that is 2D ...but in the flesh [in game] it'll always be a bit less than ideal.
I can upload this as a second variation....[when I do the right side too...and adjust a few details].

And here i´m doing an early target practice at Cachimbo Air Base (SBCC). Thanks for that!
 
This one was the most fun...;)
I'll upload it presently....just helmets and tanks to do.

Edit...helmets styled to match...and 'Mobil 1' tanks....

I updated/finished the 'flat' armour panels on the Afghan one.
Not hard to do...even if it's a bit of a cheat...;)
