    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.

fw190 paintkit

Spook48

SOH-CM-2026
I am trying to make a repaint for the FI Fw190 but i keep running against a problem.
In the paintkit there are serious paint chippings around the wing roots but i want to get rid of this.
I want it to be freshly painted.
But it doesn't matter how many layers I add , it keeps shinning through.
Does anybody know how this is solved ?
Also there are 2 little circular lids on the wings which don't wanna be painted.
I have been trying this for weeks now and it is driving me nuts.

Thanks for the answers but thats not quite what i meant.
I know about the comp and such but this is pure about the albedo texture.
This is the base texture and lowest metal layer shines through . I added a blank layer on top of it.

But when start painting this , it won't cover the blank metal bits.
