    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.

BRANIFF DC-3

Yet, and still another DC -3. Uploaded a little while ago and awaiting approval. This one is from the BRANIFF fleet, as viewed on the ramp at Chicago's Midway Airport in 1952 just before she was sold to Southern Airways. Should
be available "soon".

Will this work on the 'Douglas C-47 PBR' model for 64-bit P3D or would I have to install the last version for FSX into P3D as well as the PBR version?

Hi Larry. I honestly do not know. I only have FSX Boxed Accel, so that is what is is specifically made for. If I recall correctly the PBR model has slightly different texture mapping which may cause some problems.
 
Very nice repaint again Steve, thank you.

Larry, PBR tectures don't work in FSX, I would really be surprised when it would work the other way round. But as the textures are free you can of course always try!

Cheers,
Huub
 
I was thinking the other way around Huub ;), i.e. trying to put this paint onto the PBR model in P3D. It looks like I would have to have the native P3D PBR version of the plane AND the FSX version in P3D to get the paints I like.
 
I just tried these textures on the native P3D v4.5 version and they fitted perfectly so I guess the basic mapping is the same. I just had to change the 'model = XXX' line in the aircraft.cfg section to call one of the two models in the P3D version as they have different model names to the FSX version.

This is great news in that the FSX repaints (at least for the v3.14 release) will fit the P3D version too as there are only a few native repaints available (you will lose the PBR reflections though).
