  • 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.

Still not happy with the tone of the blue and also the metal shine. Think the Alpha and specs needs some tweaking.

Now off to the "oliebollen" en "appelflappen".

Have a safe ending of the year all and best wished for the new year!

Well here is a good example of a shiny aeroplane (LOL)

It just struck me looking at the textures on the Connie, how the engines and wings are good but the fuselage can have more of grey tone than chrome. As for me well I am no expert but I do love a well polished aluminium aeroplane. Note sure why they painted the HARS Connie grey on the lower fuselage and engine cowls. Anyway I will hand over to the experts.

Most of it was ease of maintenance course the washing down for performance and to stop the skin from anodizing save on skin replacement, with a shinny skin and a brand new aircraft was also customer appeal for the first few years then on overhaul scored the paint.
 
Hiya,

Almost finished, only some little tweaking to do and writing the readme etc.
