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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

You're right, I too think the Macchi's are great looking planes. Sorta like a sports car. Manuele Villa has produced some of the most outstanding aircraft for FS2004. I fly quite a lot in VOZ1.8. Are the desert textures you're using the western side of Australia?
When I remember correctly it was the Northern territories I took off from a small strip in the North East (I had expected a bit more green...). Further to the West the desert is more tan and less textured.

The DH-80A was a fun project back in 2009. Loved this livery especially.

Avro Tutor K3338 was on strength of 4 FTS, RAF Abu Suweir; no idea why it was painted in non standard
markings as shown (a prominent red stripe along fuselage and no tail flash, but a round badge of some sort on the fin)
here I've used the modern 4 FTS badge on the fin , as I can't get a clear enough image of what the actual badge is.
4FTS moved to Habbaniya, Iraq, on outbreak of war, and later distinguished itself in the Battle of Habbaniya

The sad story of B-flight No 600 Sqn RAF
On the 10th of May 1940 the Dutch requested support of the RAF to attack the Waalhaven airfield, which was captured by the Germans. RAF HQ decided to send the Bristol Blenheim fighters from 600 sqn. As Squadron leader Wells (Auxiliary Air Force) expected strong resistance he decided to lead the flight himself and did not to take any navigator with him, except for his own. After the briefing 6 Blenheims Mk.1Fs took off from Manston at 10:30. The squadronleader decide to attack the airfield in 2 waves from 3 aircraft each. Only one wave reached the airfield. From the six aircraft only one managed to return to Manston. The other 5 didn't stand a chance against the Bf110s from 3./ZG1.
From the 13 crew members involved in this mission only 6 survived. Form these 6 survivors, 3 survived the war. From one the fate is unknown. The 7 who died, never came home as they are all buried in near Rotterdam.
The airfield Waalhaven was not rebuild after the war and is now part of the Rotterdam Harbour. At the location of the former airfield you can find a small monument to remember the men who took part in this sad mission.

Great shots y'all.
For something completely different, I was fooling around with this model I downloaded from a free 3D model download site.
It is not uncommon for people who model for pleasure, and not for a game, to never scale their model.
This is how this one showed up in FSX when I exported it the first time. LOL
Cool, huh?
