    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.

The mail was visible in the original post by acwai1 but was removed by either himself or an admin. Which is the prudent thing to do. Even though I wear glasses, I did see it. And I'm glad I made the remark, because it has been removed.

Hi Ed,
Thank you for your fine updates to Gerald's Heinkel.
I appreciate your willingness to put some time and
effort into these older birds.

Best Regards,

My thanks to Michael Pook for his recent work to try to clear up more of the black areas in the VC. By adjusting the "interior3" texture he was able to get the floor and sides to look much better. I then went into MDLMat last evening to "fix" the remaining side areas that were black by picking a color from the side textures and changing the LOD 01 and LOD 02 materials to that color. There were only 2 materials that were solid black so it was easy to spot the ones I needed to change. If you are fluent in MDLMat, the color to change those to is (51,49,49,255). The only drawback, and I didn't see it as such, is that it also changes the prop to that color as well. I see it as very minor given how far the model has come since I started working on it. The pics below will bear that out.
 
Hello Ed, I wondered about that. I thought I was missing a bmp somehow. Thank you for the detailed explanation of working with these textures.
I thought differing LOD was only necessary on an object's external textures for rendering at a distance. I am beginning to work with texturing but
have a long way to go to get to this level. Would you consider uploading the adjusted bitmap? Thanks.
