  • 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

Hey Steve,

I just need to go over the Naca, Patuxent and Varig paints to make sure there are no missed parts. Then do the cfg edits,
type up the readme's and zip them up. I hope to have them uploaded this weekend.

I'm having a go at this one....although it has already been done before, It appeared to have 'anomalies' so I'm in the throes of a full repaint from scratch...;)

Thanks Joe. Not rushing. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it. These birds are scattered all over the library. Seems I find one in a new hiding place almost daily!

why? That looks great!
You post this as the modern version, and I'll try and make mine look like the WW2 version?

Here's a my first shots, clearly the nose needs more attention:

On one of the earlier posts (might have been the original Douglas C-47 v3 thread) there was a screenshot of the New Zealand National Airways Corporation livery.

I've searched but haven't found it anywhere.

Just wondering, has it been released?

Love this C-47 beastie, brilliant work to all who helped in the development.

Thanks,

Pete.

Hi JK !!! Being this an olive drab paint I hope that it won't be like the That's all brother one : I've noticed that the top of the fuselage is
divided in two longitudinal half where the color is different creating
a separation upper line. Sorry to tell you this, I hope to don't bother you bye

Needed another aircraft...

....our freight business picked up a few more clients so we needed another airplane. Of course I simply went back to see Willy and the good ole boys at Merc Air.
I'm not sure how legit the paper work is on this one but, hey it flies.

So far I've found a grand total of 2 photos of this one...of the appropriate vintage. So much of it has to be 'inferred'...and the '50th Anniversary' font on the right side will have to be hand drawn....none of my 2188 fonts is even close....

Still....this side is almost done...;)

Pretty sure there'd be a AEQ over the pilot's window....just need to bend it right..

sure looks nice!

I started playing the metal with Gordon's new paintkit as well:





not there yet, but you get the general idea..
 
Jan, Christoph and Gordon-

I just can't get enough of the all metal look. There are so many talented painters doing work on our beloved -3/47. We are indeed fortunate!

This one should be available in the library now. As I will away from my flightsim computer, I will try to upload the ones which are finished.

Cheers,
Huub

I know at least one person who will be very happy :biggrin-new:

Cheers,
