    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.

DDA Classic Airlines new/old 2018 livery

SOH-CM-2026
Hiya,

The real PH-PBA just got here new paintjob and saw the outside for the first time last week...

With it made the last tweaks to my repaint for the C-47:

Textures are HD, 4096, DXT5 compressed (which give better result then 2K 32 bits, for the same size).

More in the next post, due the 4 pics limit.
 
Besides the outside, the inside and the pilot's got a different look. Also added some more details, especially at the tires and gear struts. You also can look "inside" the cowl-flaps.

The VC textures are repainted to get the cockpit as much in line with the real one. Sorry to say the "sweathearts" are replace by a 4-part checklist.

Will be available at www.avsim.com soon, probably later today/tomorrow.

Special thanks to Paul van den Berg from DDA Classic Airlines for providing the original paint drawings and beta testing the livery.

Regards,

Marcel

An update inbound, the PH-PBA is 75 year old this year!!!

Besides the new 75 years logo, the following was updated:
- The Red colour was made a bit brighter
- Adjustments on several locations (Reallife paint was not 100% the drawings ;-)
- Several (small) details added on the outside, incl new prop textures
- Several gauge bitmaps modified (most noticable the Airspeed indicator)
- Some bitmaps of the VC modified

Thanks Marcel, highly appreciated :encouragement: I expect to see the real PH-PBA soon again, as it will most likely start doing the "flower tours" again.

Cheers,
Huub
