    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.

Flight Replicas Douglas DC-4/C-54/Carvair Released

The Danish AF flew some smart looking C-54s as well, maybe one of you metal texture experts can take a look :)

WIP!
I have to do some final things, this repaint is not really easy to do. But repainting seems to works well with the model.

That looks very sharp! I need to get this package this weekend :)

Any chance for a Vietnam war HC-54 (SC-54)? Some very good colorfilm on youtube if you search for "udorn rescue 1965" which can be used for reference.
 
Almost finished a bare metal one as as a study for my repaints.

Thanks you for doing these repaints! I am especially looking forward to this one. My first flight on an airplane was on a C-54 painted similar to this one from Elmendorf AFB, Alaska to McChord AFB, Washington in September 1953. The airplane was configured for air evac and we sat on side-facing web seats. After takeoff the pilots invited me up to the cockpit--very exciting for a 9 year old! Keep up the good work.
 
Looking great Matt! Thanks for the Bristol Freighter lookalike. There was one of those at Point Cook at one stage, as it was in the PR when I was doing that scenery. Maybe you remember how I asked you to "make" me one. :cower: :biggrin-new:

All the paints are looking great.

Cheers,
 
Just upload it here on library...

This repaint shows ATL Carvair 9J-PAA of Phoebus Apollo of the year 2005. Was Douglas C-54E c/n 27314, ex JA6015, N88881, 44-9088. Converted to ATL-98 VH-INM c/n 27314/21. First flight in Southend as Carvair No.21 in 1968, was the final Carvair built. Became VH-INM of Ansett Transport Industries. In 1990 registered as N5459M for Air Cargo Hawaii, trading as Hawaii Pacific Air Inc, Honolulu. In 2002 Phoebus Apollo purchased this bird, registered 9J-PAA by Phoebus Apollo Aviation Zambia, Lusaka. Entered freight service between Johannesburg and Lusaka, delivering Exclusive cigarettes and carrying general cargo.

On 25.6.05 this Carvair was ferried from Johannesburg-Jan Smuts to Johannesburg-Rand. Probably its last flight. 9J-PAA still parked at Rand, reported that owner plans to make it airworthy. It was 2011. Until today in 2017, 9J-PAA is parked in Johannesburg-Rand with that funny scheme.

Mark, texture mapping on Carvair models are working well. In my opinion, no need to put a further hand on it. Wainting for your update with workin front cargo door in exterior models.
