    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.

Hello Richard,

Whose NASA F-104 repaint is that, and for what model? I've been dying to have a NASA F-104, and having just gotten the SSW FRF-104G pack on the "sale", it'd be a dream to have that repaint for it.

Many kind thanks,

Hello DL,
These are old screenshots with the F104G Alphasim / Virtavia. I uninstalled FSX several years ago.
I do not remember the name of the author of this beautiful texture. Maybe Pierre Lheureux who made many repaints for Alphasim.
(I started that Nasa texture for the F104 SSW - P3Dv4 but I am not competent enough for metallic textures and my result is not convincing!)

Thanks - yes, I recall that funny AIM-9 only loadout on that old Virtavia model. Back in the FS9 days, Pierre Lheureux did some of my favourite repaints. I think he's long gone from the sim scene, unfortunately - but he did some lovely work.

You've taken some really lovely shots that are close to my heart - those X-15 shots earlier are gorgeous, and the Edwards AFB F-15 (I presume that's the Milviz? model) is lovely too. Thanks for your great repaints and your superb screenshots - some might find their way onto my pc's wallpapers :encouragement:

A pretty lady

Plenty of time on our hands so big clean out of the 'fixable of ditchable box' or just forgotten. This was a gem in real life as well, probably in my view the prettiest light twin ever designed. This is Rob Richardson's delightful Beagle Basset B.206. A remarkable aeroplane really that really never made it commercially. Handled beautifully, performance was adequate and a great load lifter. RFDS Beagle on a run from Broken Hill to Dubbo.

Very 1970's the orange colour scheme of the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Oz. No engine nacelle stripe deliberately omitted as I thought it looked awful on the real ones. This paint is a WIP trying to see if I can tweak the textures.
