    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.

Obviously the alpha layers do not load. TuFun's textures are made in 4096x4096 format. Perhaps this is a bit too much for your computer. On my humble system 2048X2048 is the maximum size which will load in a reasonable time. You should also have you maximum texture size adjusted in your fsx configuration file, by updating the TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD= value.

I hope this is useful for you,

I ran through different settings with the TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD= but to no avail. The only other models I have that this happens with are the Restauravia Mirage models with bare metal. All of the other high end bare metal repaints/models I have work fine. Come to think of it, I had some previous high end (4096) bare metal textures before that worked fine on other models and MJ's C-117. That's what makes this issue so odd. My system specs are pretty good (fairly current hardware).
 
Sorry to hear that StromILM. Most likely it has to do with the specific way your graphic card handles alpha layers. I don't see any similarities on the textures of the Restauravia Mirage and Tufun's textures, which do not exist on other textures, and which are likely to cause this anomaly.

Tim, the blue interior is not yet available at Flightsim.com, but can already be found at simviation ( http://simviation.com/1/browse-Vintage-66-0 ).

Cheers,

Just thought I'd mention that I've re-vamped my old V2 ZK-DAK livery. The new V3-compatible version comes with two resolutions plus standard or mip-mapped variants. I found the stripes on the nose got a bit pixellated - even at 2048px, so re-did the lot at 4096px.

This is one of my all-time favourite aircraft in RL, so it's great to have it in P3D! Should work OK in FSX.

Its a great repaint Adam and one of my favourites as well.

TuFun gave me his permission to install his latest radials on my repaints. Therefore I am planning to upload my reworked KLM and DDA textures etc. for the V.3 version of this beautiful model.

Cheers,
Huub

C47

I need help! I have down loaded three times, when I go to fly the C47 I can only get the inside view, I cannot switch to the out side view, and only get one paint no other? Can some one help? Thanks Lee
 
By the looks of the number of Mallard uploads, G-man will need to take number to get the PK uploaded! :biggrin-new:

Speaking of which....

I had to wait three days, but this AM I got two skins and the PK uploaded. The two skins have the new HD bumps and spec included.
Just waiting for admin to switch them live. :very_drunk:
Let the games begin.
 
I've just had a look at Tufun's TFS bare metal paint and I have to say it's one of the best bare metal skins I've ever seen. The bumps on it are superb. You don't fancy re-skinning the MV F100-D do you Ted:encouragement:

I think Ted did this gorgeous skin using the first PK I did for the MJ DAK. The new PK is uploaded with improvements for the new V3 bird from Jan Visser/Manfred Jahn. I was able to upload a new skin, which has an improved version of the bumps that Ted used in his silver metal skin.

Keyword: Douglas C-47 V3 Oldskin

Also, watch for the update kit that has the new HD bump set and generic specular file for V3.

Hello,

Could you be more precise in describing what you're doing ("I cannot switch to the outside view")?
If you're using the infamous EZdok, chances are you cannot see the aircraft properly from the external view, because you need to launch the EZCA Config (normally, you must do that for every new aircraft you add to P3D/FSX). If that's something else, since we're not psychics, we'll need more details, like what simulator, version, what you do, what you see ;)
