    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.

confusion over which Carenado Skymaster to buy

Im intrested in military 0-2 version's, Flightsim pilot shop has two versions on sale, a C337 HD version at around $17 and a 337 package for around $5, if the $5 is the package to go for, accepting O-2 repaints, at that price, i'll jump all over it, but im wondering what the difference between the 2 package's is.

cheers ian

I think quite sure that O-2 is FSD not Carenado and WAY older
 
The cheap one is for FS2004, but you probably knew that!

it works in FSX apparently if the advertising is to be believed, and is link'ed in FSX repaints in Flightsim and Avsim,

All the benefits you get with an FSX native model you will get with the FSX Skymaster. I've no doubt the FS9 version will work.. just depends if you want a Skymaster or the best Skymaster. It's worth the sale price.. even at $12 more than the FS9 version;)

I have both the FSD and the Carenado Skymaster for FSX.

The FSD version is the only one with an O-2A model including weapons, glass panel doors, etc. Unfortunately, it is an FS9 port-over and as I recall had some texture issues.

Carenado makes a much nicer model and there are a couple O-2 skins out there, but it lacks an armament, etc.
 
I bought the carenado fs9 version (could not resist the price), and everything works brilliant, except the gps screen is black. You can see the gauge is working as there's a slight peek at it at the very borders of the screen.

Anybody knows how to fix that?

I think maybe bringing the gauge position a little bit forward might work...

Or maybe a texture fix.
