    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.

Fantastic news!!!!

As a creator of some liveries for the previous version, I'm interested to know what modicifations may be needed. Are they documented anywhere (externally or in the D/L archive)?

Needless to say, I 'd like to update my liveries ASAP to enjoy this superb new version!!!

For everyone who already has skins for the previous MJ C-47, your skins will work with this model. You won't have Ted's new radials when using previous skins.

Re: The Paint Kit

The PK will be uploaded tomorrow AM and includes all layers you would need to do comprehensive paints. All of the layers are broken out for extensive editing. Ted was generous enough to provide me with his radials in layered format, so they will be available for painters to drop into previous paints.

The PK will also come with a set of basic metal skins to use as a base layer for paints. All wear and shadowing is available in PS layers format.
I've also created a set of enhanced bump maps and specular files that can be added to your skins, old or new. The bump and specular files will globally update all old skins and come with a readme file for easy installation.

I've formatted my package to utilize a shared texture format, so all common files will reside in the shared folder while your skins will be added in the usual way.

I'll be providing a tutorial for those interested in exploring "skinning" in more depth.

When I release the PK, I'll start a new thread to cover paint tips, questions and tech talk. We'll leave this thread for screenies and appreciation of this beautiful offering by Jan Visser, Manfred Jahn and team. Thank you sirs for inviting me to be part of the process. :very_drunk:

I'm old, almost didn't survive the shock of announcement, wish me luck, after my heart slows down I'm going to download and install. :very_drunk:
 
Incredible work and uniquely generous gift to the community. Many thanks to all involved.
I'm in awe of the talent and good taste demonstrated on so many levels with this classy bird.
I just sat in the cockpit for a good 20 min's or so with mouth agape, my attention jumping from one fine detail to another.
Then there are the engine details...the sounds...the list just goes on and on.
 
Just finished my first flight. Thanks so much to all involved. Based on the previews I was expecting a lot and the actual experience was even better. Love the voice checklists and the sounds, both external and internal. Wow!

I just completed reading the Operations Manual -- WOW! The thought and attention to detail that went into the development of this C-47 is as impressive as the amazing creative talents that brought it to life!

An outstanding accomplishment -- thank you.
