    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.

Very nice! Will be an excellent update to entice more night flights in the BUFF. If there's one thing I keep hoping for on that VC is for an update to the EVS displays which could utilize GPS and/or HSI symbology. I've heard talk about it but nothing since 3 or so years ago.
 
mods done.
> red gauge and backlighting
> light reflection effect under glare shield
> engine gauge bezel widened to match real ones
> pilot texture cleaned up
> gauge glass with purple tint for reflection coating
> enhanced color saturation for gauge color bands

Thanks mate! Just downloaded the mod. Love the BUFF!

Not sure if they're posted here too, but there are some great paints for the B-52 by Jankees on OzX.

Cheers,
 
Will get the new file . Thanks.

"The Last Laugh" is probably my favourite paint, mainly because it's the B-52 I saw at the 2015 Avalon Airshow, and only the second BUFF I have seen IRL. Had a great up close view of it too, under the wings etc. They are pretty big wings!
