    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.

Howard 350 - strange texture issue

Not sure it looked like this before. Running P3Dv4.5 with HDR lighting - that may have something to do with it. Have messed around with alpha textures. Also appears on the rear part of the nacelles as well as the flaps.

expat,

RE: flaps - for whatever reason, the bottom of those flaps are mapped to the top of the wing, and the flaps_t bmp does not have a spec or bump map like the rest of the wing, and therefore contains no assigned Fresnel ramp. That may answer that question.

RE: Spinners - everything looks fine there in the modeled material/texture assignments. You may be able to adjust that by modifying the spinner_t_spec.bmp. Not sure though.

Just to follow up, in the end it was a tweak necessary to the shaders programme I use (freeware "tomatoshade" - it's great) that solved the texture issue. Had to turn off the app applying to the aircraft, but leave it working for the land and sky which still makes a huge difference in P3Dv4.

Just to add that the cabin lighting on this ship looks great when viewed from the outside at night!
