  • 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.

Coming soon to a hard drive near you!

Good Morning!

Hope to have these out by the end of the day. They should be available soon!

I probably spent more time putting together the screenshot than I did on the paints! :encouragement:

For the curious: In the first shot is the Lexington on top and the Saratoga below. Across the top are VF-2, VB-2, VT-2, and VS-2. Across the bottom are Aviation Pilot First Class (enlisted pilot rating below chief), VF-3 (the original Felix the Cat), VB-3, VT-3, VS-3, and Chief Aviation Pilot (a chief petty officer rating for the enlisted pilot). The Navy never had separate wings for the enlisted and officers - all wore Navy Wings of Gold regardless of their rank. The reason enlisted pilots were called "Silver Wings" was due to the silver-white color of the rating badge on the rank pictured above.

I'm hoping to do some more era USN ships. Just need to download and see what can be done. I'm also reading up on how to animate cannon on this thing, but I think I'll start with something smaller since I'm not sure I'll be successful.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Ships repaints Add-Ons

Description: Twin pack of updated textures for Stuart277's Lexington Class aircraft carriers. These textures represent the USS Lexington CV-2 and the USS Saratoga CV-3 in their Pre-War color of Light Gray overall and Mahogany deck stain. Markings are in Orange-Yellow, also called "chrome yellow" in some circles.

The Lexington texture is meant to replace my other texture for this ship that was uploaded last week, but you may use either/or depending on which you like better.
