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.

I'm with you Dave. Can't wait to get back to complete the Harpoon project. These are looking so fine. 
Won't be much longer getting the Republic XP's out the door and we'll be here.

AI Package Uploaded for Harpoons
Just uploaded an AI package for those of you who like to sprinkle these things around airports.
See the details here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=6&linkid=18407
These are lower poly, lower texture size stripped models for light use as AI.

Repaints Dutch and Portuguese AI Harpoon available
Hi there,
Two new repaints for the AI Harpoon are available now here http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=7&linkid=18454. They feature PV2's of the Royal Netherlands Navy and the Portuguese Air Force.
Those eight flightsimmers who downloaded the repaints first, may have noticed that in one of the texture folders the turretrail.bmp was missing. Just copy the turretrail.bmp from the other texture folder into the incomplete one and the issue is solved. The mistake has been corrected from download nr. 9 on.
The screenshots below have been made by Sir Milton himself. Many thanks!
Cheers,
Maarten

I guess the best thing about finishing up the Republic Experimentals project is getting back to the Harpoons. I really want to get this completed properly. Still have some VC work to do and some textures and gauges cleanup. This must get done before we get on the Lodestar project full steam.
Yes, for me too. Investing some time flying to re-familiarize myself with everything and making list of "to-do's".
Current work plan:
Complete the Harpoon project.
Complete the Lodestar Civilian, C-57/C-60, and Ventura modeling/textures mapping
Begin modeling the A-20G Havoc
Revisit the F7F-1/2/3/3N to improve exterior mapping and virtual cockpit
Note that all of these projects overlap so progress continues on all fronts while previous projects are completed.
Thank you pfflyers. I hope we can do them all justice to the extent that keeping them FPS friendly for all will allow.
Milton, I just wanted to bring something to your notice. Some Harpoons had diamond tread tires, also so did the Ventura, Lodestar and the A-26 Invader. So I decided to make a diamond tire tread texture for the Harpoon. However when I went to view the texture on the Harpoon in the sim, it looked stretched on part of the tire. Here's a pic...
I went to try it on the A-26 as well but it turned out the same. Would it be possible to un-stretch the tire model?
BTW, the cockpit looks great, even if its still a WIP!

MRogers,
When I use a straight grooved tire, I often map it simply as I did with these aircraft mentioned.
For a patterned texture, one must map the tires cylindrically.
I will change the Lodestar/Harpoon/Ventura models when I get back into them but I cannot do anything now for the A26 models and all the variants. There are certainly better textures that could be used to replace the grooved textures I did though.
