Special Server Maintenance
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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Hi Ted,
Are these paints any closer to release, please?
Love your work...
I haven't touched it for a while now but after experiencing the new MSFS (alpha tester), I need to brush up on painting. Been working on the warp metal effects.
All pic are flown in P3Dv3 below.
Also two issues I have with the FSX model is there seems to be no spec textures for the flaps and the right flap extends thru the top wing.

TuFun, that turned out great! Not that I was expecting anything less, based on all of your previews. Well done.

WOW!! Having seen the real N500HP up close at Oshkosh, I'm not sure which version I like more. The real one, or yours!! Beautiful work, TuFun. Hoping this gets released.
Thanks, guys for bringing this up! Focus here is a redo on the tails rivets and panels (wip), then convert them flush rivets.
Beautiful work all around TuFun; exquisiteness!

Thanks, Milton, fun aircraft to paint!
Thank you! Good stuff ah!
New this and that, change this and that, add this and that.
Looks better than the real McCoy TuFun
What model name are you using that causes the flaps to show thru the right wing? I thought I corrected those issues. What's the date on that model file?

Two models have the flap issue.

Could you also look at the spec file on the flaps? For some reason not working for me, so added more alpha to compensate somewhat.

It looks absolutely amazing. How many hours do you have in that texture now? However many, your love of the airplane shows.
Well everyone has moved on to shiny and new stuff, but the man Dee Howard did something special with this aircraft. I learned a lot from the Warthunder crowd with their painting skills.
Examples of how beat up this bird are...

Well, I went ahead and rebuilt the wings and lost a prop in the process, but gives a better look at the nice radial!
Also having issues running FSXSE for a few minutes and reboots the computer. I'm in no mood to troubleshoot.
Thus, here some pics in P3Dv3. Gotta do something with the gap between black and yellow color by reducing the distance.
