    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.

Going to try a 'real' aircraft model

That hopefully won't totally suck ass. Picked something 'easy', but interesting, and hasn't been done...
(crosses fingers)
Just a trial shot of the first section. Any guesses? (This is too easy...)

You're all on the right general type. Post war, second generation. Very muscular looking, quite a handful, by most accounts. :a1310:
 
A high wing flying boat with what looks like jet engine's under the wing, flush with the fuselage, and what looks like gun,cannon pods forward under the cockpit, or at least, thats what im getting from the diagram your using. Boy, am i intrigued :mixed-smiley-010:, im prepared to be totally wrong with my assesment. :jump:

I dont think anyone has ever made a Sunderland. Should be a great addition to the community..

Test piece before cutting up the wings. If any one has a shot of the flaps, down, preferably from the rear. I think it's got fowlers??
Angling for the -10 and -10M with nose radome and ASM's. First things first.
 
I have Shessi's Sunderland, and Jen's Hythe done, just needing the props put on, beaching gear made. The Sunderland got hung up on the VC, over 65000 vertice limit and not exporting:banghead:
Might have to merge it with the JBK cockpit. The FCS Sunderland is not very nice looking. Shouldn't cast aspersions, but I'm not selling this crap, either.

So, lets see...Marlin, PS-1-US-2, P6M, Be-6...all down on my stupendous optimism list. First, have to see if I can get through this one.
Wing fairings and tailpipe fairings on, straightened the nose and chine lines, flight controls coming along. Started it early sunday...it even looks like a Be-10!
So far, so good.

Pam,

Shessi did some very nice Sunderlands for FS2004, which are available here in the library, and which might work in FSX.

JustFlight/First Class Simulations has a Sunderland for FSX https://www.justflight.com/product/sunderland-flying-boat-first-class-simulations

Now back to Lazarus's mystery plane....

Cheers,
Huub

Welll, actually I was making a backhanded guess, but also hoping :) I'll check out the sunderlands. would be nice to have some flying boats.. :) Thanks Huub :)
 
Interesting seeing an aircraft being modeled in Sketchup, IIUC from the appearance of the work-space.

What application will you use to rig the animations ?


The Beriev M-10 (aka "BE-10) is a rather impressive aircraft, and would be fun to fly.:encouragement:

PS: In light of your latter post, dare we refer to this as a "areola-assault aircraft" ? :costumed-smiley-034
