  • 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.

Douglas A20 Havoc

Here's a great teaser photo posted to Facebook by Scott Slocum (a fantastic air-to-air photographer) - this aircraft, and more photos of it like this one, will be featured in the next issue of "Warbird Digest".

Earlier this week, the aircraft finally left Chino for its home in Texas.

 
Making a little headway here on the fuselage, nacelles, and turret.

Had to spend a little time on other requests, and testing for other projects.

"little headway" Ha! :)))

Love the way you tell'em Skipper

Bit like Da Vinci; "just doodling around" (he'd just put the base paint down for the 'Mona Lisa')...:encouragement:
 
LOL Nigel.

The evening was spent cutting out the doors requiring some adjustments here and there but overall turned out great.

Now, time to cut in some gun ports. Ughhh .... always a tough thing to do well but I will give it my best.

Well, I was able to get the 6 gun ports cut into the nose without too much smoothing damage. Glad that is done. :wiggle:

Trying to get all the little things done on the fuselage before moving back to the engines, nacelles, and gear.

I believe i have all the "G" model things in place for now with the final windows cut in, antennas, bomb sight and pitot added. A little cleanup around those gunner's side windows is necessary.

You're creating a stunning looker there, Sir :)

I'm watching this with interest, indeed i can hardly wait. I do hope there will be an RAF version?

It is my intent to do the popular versions and certainly that would satisfy your wish.

I have been working on the cowling and cowl flaps. This is very tedious and challenging work but hope to finish up all of the cowl/cowl flaps/nacelle/exhaust ring changes today and get the whole left wing and engine assembly cloned for the right side then animate the cowl flaps.

After that, I can focus on the main and nose gear.

Thanks Wellis, et al. I am trying to take this up a notch for FSX native conversion potential.

Working on the upper cowl air intake and 2 flaps now.
