    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 Lockheed "Rounder"

Great work Rachael!
I'm back home now, so I've got a bit of catching up to do : - )
I'm really looking foward to the Ventura B34 and PV1!:applause:
 
PV-1 Ventura OH Items

Can you identify these items in the Vega Ventura overhead and their purpose?

The manual does not show them.

Thanks for any help in advance.

#3 = PDI (steal it from the A-26)
#2 = Heading gauge (tied to AP) should be able to find one in the parts bin
#1 = Swiss Army Knife? - well it looks like one but since it's red and appears linked to the overhead glazing it might be a handle for emergency release of the roof panels

Apparently I must take SWMBO out for breakfast, but I'll do some more digging later.

I will give you the real #2 and #3 for this plane, I have them both sitting on the bookshelf, (along with an HSI, Altimeter and an early turn and bank) from a B-24.

Hi Friends,
I'm making a repaint for an U.S.C.G. R50-1 (Model 18) belonged to Coast Guard Air Station Brooklyn, New York, that acquired this plane, Lockheed registration number 2008, on 14 May 1940, and used it as a VIP transport for top executive officers of the Department of the US Treasury.
Here some screens (WIP), but I'm not sure for the U.S.C.G. insigna on the nose, the photos I picked from the Web are very small..... Can someone help me ?

I've got a start on the TWA one but it's been on the back burner for a while now as I got off into another bunch of Lockheeds. I'll probably get around to it sooner or later, but if someone wants what I've got to finish it (insignia bitmaps (some custom) and references) let me know.
 
A little more testing after getting some more detail in and the wings finalised... she's not looking bad for an old bird :D

Time to head inside and finalize the inside before paint gets thrown about!
 
Someone brought to my attention an issue with the Lodestar ADI gauge missing the airplane bar. Yes, it is true.

Unzip and then copy the attached adi_bar.bmp and place it in the Lodestar/Panel/ST_Lodestar folder and all will be right again.
 
While out testing the PV-1 flight model update this morning (Thank you Tom Falley :), I noticed the hot air balloon folks out enjoying the New Mexico fresh morning air.

And they are looking up and wondering what the hell that odd coloured aeroplane is :).
