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.
- 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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

What better way to celebrate the anniversary of the First Flight of the T-6 than to jump in the A2A Texan and celebrate! (April 1st, 1935)
Thank You John for the FoF Kermit Weeks AT-6D!! One of my very Favorite Flying examples. An airframe that tells a story. A lot like "Double Vee," it is a flying History lesson for what it represents. Fingers crossed you'll consider doing the Luke and Factory Fresh skins like you did for the other model. This A2A Texan is just so fun and rewarding to fly!!

Manfred,
One thing I forgot to mention is, if you want to make a short field takeoff, then you will want to use some flaps, up to 20 degrees. Watch the flaps indicator on the lower left of the console to know where they are positioned.
For flaps, you can just use your F7 and F8 keys. So if you want to lower them, just hit the F8 a few times (to guarantee the lever is down), watch the indicator and hit F7 when you want them to stop.

If you have flaps mapped to your joystick.. one button for down, the other for up.. hit the down button twice (once to unlock it, the other to start it moving) while keeping an eye on the flap indicator. When it reaches the desired position, hit the up button once to stop it

The Prepar3D version has models that are compiled for P3D to take advantage of P3D specific features and some of the code adapts to each platform.

A little weekend project WIP. More stuff still to add and still to improve.

That is sure a beautiful scheme!! That one and N45CK are my very favorite SNJ's for the way they shine. I'm trying hard to remember the SNJ that was at Oshkosh a few years back that had the Tail-hook on it and was restored to an amazing level of detail?? I've searched my pictures and just can't find it. I was thinking Midwest Texans had done it but I may be wrong??

Jim, it depends on which one in particular you're thinking of. There have been two Oshkosh award-winning SNJ-5C restorations, with the full tailhook/tailwheel guard setup, in recent years - one is the overall yellow N518WW, which was restored by Midwest Texans, and the other is the overall glossy sea blue N5615C, which was restored by Chuck Wahl (one of the most authentic Texans flying today). Both have been Oshkosh regulars. I of course would love to do both of these schemes (and several dozen more...).
(Speaking of Chuck Wahl, his warbird restoration company, Vulture's Row Aviation, have been restoring an original Navy SBD-4 Dauntless, an original Navy SB2C-1A Helldiver, and an original Marine F4U-1 birdcage Corsair, all to airworthy and all sure to be award-winners. There are some rumors that the SBD, which is nearing completion, will be at Oshkosh this year.)

Yes Sir... it was N5615C that I was thinking of but I now know that I had details about each of them mixed up in my head. Thank you for clarifying that for me.

RaFi Top paint, exactly like New Zealand's Harvard syndicate flew the ex SAAF aircraft 7660, flew in this Feb 2009, one of the last fixed winged flights out of ex_RNZAF Wigram, brilliant paint.
