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.
- 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.

Looks like a nice D-Day commemorative flight.
Thanks

Monty checking on the troops over Corsica.
Nice repaint....just wondering what crest it is on the nose? It has a Queens crown above it, if the paint represents WW2...should it not be Kings crown?
I'm sure you have researched it so I'm not doubting your accuracy.

I know Montgomery had an ego on the same level as Patton, but why would he fly around in a bird that has his flag rank and insignia on it? That would seem to be a H U G E target. Seems like flying in a normal AC would be better operational security.

RAF Museum gave me some data and pics on Monty's C-47. Note I haven't added the roundels on the wings just yet since it's a test model.
Also some pic from British Pathe.

From the British Pathe pictures...it is actually a Kings crown on the crest (which is correct for the period as the queen's coronation wasn't until 1953)
Like this.....
Note that it is more 'rounded' than Queens....
Not trying to put you down or say that it's a bad repaint or anything, just trying to help

Thanks again for pointing that out. I need to adjust shields a little bit upwards after looking at the pic and replaced the right side shields (old) ones.Looks good
Control panel is a great tool for manual controls sorta an autopilot without the auto.
Shields adjusted. Interesting C-47 cargo doors with those two windows.

SO GLAD I STOPPED BY HERE... I haven't forgotten 628 and keep hoping that one day us P3D drivers will get to see her in all her glory. I've been salivating over her for years now
