    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.

Very nice!

Looking forward to them.

I am doing some RAAF repaints. Some have the exhaust shrouds on and others don't. I have noticed that with the exhaust shrouds off the side panel is very ill-fitting and shows a good deal of the rocker cover. Also a goodly amount of piping and wiring can be seen below the exhausts as well.

Is there a way you can tighten up the opening in the panel so only the exhausts can be seen.

Sadly that is how JF has made the model. We can of course hope they will consider remodeling it in an update. Strange how mistakes as this happens on payware models. very easy to spot and should have been seen and fixed early on in the process.
 
Looking through those photos again JO , the ocean is a great study, really churned up, I'm going wild with ideas for a new painting/drawing ..... sorry guys :untroubled: one for the wall :adoration:
 
Martyn I have to say I like this Mosquito, done the sound swap as I had odd sound but its sweet! Wonder if there is the possibility of a gunless Mosquito for the BOAC ball bearing runners?

With regards to paint schemes was there any full rap around camouflaged versions of this mark?

JensOle, did you ever have a chance to pack these up and make them available for download??

Thanks
 
Finishing them as I type :)

Al Nix (oldpropfan) here at the forum made a RAF Banff scenery to go with RAF Dallachy. I know he released the later, but did he release Banff? I got it from him for giving feedback, but it would be great if it was available for everybody

My word, they went in low over the North Sea! Also reassuring to see how many of these unguided missiles ... miss. Just like in CFS3.

It is truly amazing to see the RP rockets come of the rails in all kind of directions.. it also shows how close they needed to get to the ships before firing them. It must have been a rather bad design regarding how it was stabilized, but it was probably cheap and easy to produce.. To be fair so was they probably very often fired outside their "parameters" with both a lot of G forces and directional forces due to the very nature of diving down steep fjords and or manoeuvring during attacks.
