    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.

Thank you for working to paint the jet everyone! I did the work to convert the model over and it is nice to get some support from the community in adding to it.

I disabled the rest of the original paints because they did not have appropriate COMP files - camo paint should not be a shiny and metallic as bare metal :) I am not a texture guy so I tried to get a few people to help me before release, but they mostly passed so I release it with a few schemes that looked ok. If anyone would like to develop new comp files for the base paints I would be thrilled to include them!

I discovered an annoying thing when making repaints for the Sabre.
If you use the paints I recently uploaded, you will not see the wing textures from inside the cockpit, they are just white. Luckily, the wings are a bit behind the pilot, so you really have to look to the rear to see this.
I have found a way to make them visible, but that means introducing old FSX wing textures in my folders, which in turn leads to the sim creating a CVT folder to be able to use these textures.

So if you use my "JK_F-86_Sabre_4kings", MSFS will add a "JK_F-86_Sabre_4kings_CVT_" folder to your community folder, really annoying.

Anybody have any suggestions how we can avoid this?

The only way to avoid this is to make the interior model a GLTF as well, which I am not going to do because it would break all of the animated gauges. CVTs really aren't that big of a deal, they are handled automatically by the sim. It is in the readme that the FSX-formatted files need to be included if you want to see the proper wings when you look backwards. I spent some extra time making sure they were at least visible.

LOVING the repaints! I know the switches are not clickable in the cockpit, but does anyone know if it is possible to open/close the canopy? If so, may I please ask how?

Thanks,

Kent

The canopy is not animated in the current version, but I have a new version that does animate it and also adds a GPU in certain conditions. Unfortunately they run off of lights for turning on/off and SU14 broke how the lights work in multiplayer, so I am holding onto the new version until that gets sorted out.
