    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.

Fokker/Fairchild 27 FSX native

If I may, I would like to add a few pics to this 'riveting' discussion that may be of some help:

PH-FHF at the Aviodrome, Lelystad:







 
The third F-27 prototype, same location; this one appears to have a lot more (Visible) rivets in the nose section:



Don't be fooled by the Fokker 50 name, this F50 prototype is a converted F27, you can still see a large oval window that was painted over right of the Fokker logo:



 
New revision is up.

2014/09/29
Mk200/F-27A: Fixed antenna mapping, fixed part of the cargo compartment
poking through the fuselage, fixed shading issue on the dorsal fin
Mk500: Adjusted aircraft.cfg a bit (engine, htail, vtail locations, scrape
points), fixed shading issue on the dorsal fin
FH-227: Adjusted aircraft.cfg a bit (engine, htail, vtail locations, scrape
points)


Link, as usual:

Upgrade:
- Back up all entries for any additional repaints from the aircraft.cfgs
- Replace the aircraft.cfgs for all models with the ones from the new revision
- Replace F-27.mdl and F27Mk500.mdl with the ones from the new download

Which is hardly surprising since this aircraft (PH-NVF) was badly damaged during a belly landing at the airport of Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, on March 9, 1959. Cause of the accident was a premature rotation during the take off run.

A minor fix for the FH-227 is now online. Download link as usual. Just replace FH-227.mdl.
 
Had some spare time to work on the cargo door and lines aft there of. Next will be the tail section.

Update:

Here's what it looks like before the magic begins. Adding some touches here and there. Aft fuse and tail not complete. Looking at a ton of photos! :dizzy:

Dorsal fin

Hi Tu Fun, looks like you need to get the latest from Bjoern, it doesn't have that shadow on the dorsal fin connected to the tail, would you be interested in doing a Piedmont Airlines scheme for the Fairchild F-27 and or the FH-227 ?, I have tons of pics for that airline.
 
I've done both from scratch after photos. Texturing is a bloody PITA for me, so promise you retain some of of my work?
 
A VIP is visiting Bowerman, WA (Orbx just updated this scenery a few days ago). I'll clean up the mess so as I can put a basic paint kit out in a few days.
