  • 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 C-47 v3 Livery Thread

I'll also add my sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who has had a hand in bringing this beauty to us and to all the talented painters who continue its beautification. I've hardly flown anything else since v3's birth.
You know this really does remind me of the old days when people contributed their time and effort for sheer advancement of the hobby and not just for commercial purposes. It's wonderful to see this generosity and
selflessness again in such large measure.

I've put this bird to all sorts of unspeakable uses that have provided me with immense sim entertainment. You can actually bush fly this aircraft into some really tight spots; my latest adventures include Yoyo's excellent Swamp Rat, making
crucial supply runs to the mission strips around Kokoda in Orbx's PNG experience. I've learned you CAN fly in and out of at least 1/2 those white knuckle strips. The other half I don't want to talk about.
 
Reworked the specs and lots of 'little bits'....
Now I'll have to re-up as version 2 or something...;)

I had some decent pics of the Gooney Bird...and found even the Prop logo was NQR ....seems the red had faded and was lighter than the rest....so redid the prop and then reworked the colour/alpha/spec of the engine....
Eventually I'll upload....;)

A lovely job by Ted on Monties personal transport.
Anyone fancy doing another 24Sqn paint.. KG770? It's a CIII which took the King and Queen to the Channel Islands after the war. You'd need to get the polish out though!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._2...qn_RAF_with_King_George_VI_in_flight_1945.jpg

Hey Dave,
You got any other pics for KG770? The more the better especially the whats painted on the nose. You can't really see what it is
from that pic. I could knock that one up pretty quick.
