    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.

I need some help on metal textures.

I have done a Blue Angels skin for Rob Richardson's F9F Cougar. Everything is done, except there is no spec texture found anywhere in the package. there are bump maps for the fuselage and wings, but no spec textures for either. I tried to use my normal gray base and alpha for polished metal, but it is all nothing but a shiny gray. I also did the \metal in a faux metal texture, which looks better, but still no polished metal look that I want. I have Model Converter X. but it is all Greek to me, I have no idea how to used it. Is there any way through the MDX program to get a spectral color that will make the metal shone? If Rob is reading this, the model needs a spec texture, I can go from there. Images show gray without any spec and my faux metal. Once I get this done, it'll be sent up here.

Thanks for any help,
Caz
