    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 new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Civilian prop skins

Description: Clipper Rainbow NC19902 SA-307B (c/n 1995) is depicted here in what I'd call an interim paintscheme circa 1942/45. The livery has elements of the earlier PAA 1940 scheme supplied with the JBK Stratoliner and elements that were on the postwar baremetal schemes as well some that I've only seen on this one.

This texture set is for the freeware JBK Boeing 307 Stratoliner in FSX and are in DXT 5 dds format

Now if could only find the aircraft itself.

Have been looking all over the web, but no luck so far.
 
I picked up my copy at Avsim. File name: b307_v11.zip Use the word stratoliner for your search. It's also at Flightsim.com, but I'm not sure of the file name there. Mark
 
Willy great job, I have ignored this aircraft until now for various reasons but it fits perfectly into the era of aircraft and flight I am interested in. As an aside I was reading a newspaper article , circa 1940, by a former flying boat captain who went on to be BOAC's Stratocruiser guy, but he talks about the future of flight and refers to this ship as being quite an achievement to but used the term Stratospheric Liners for this type of aircraft which was technically quaint.

Thanks for the work. JBK was a genius.
