    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.

All I wanted to do was take a flight to check out my latest paint, but no, MSFS needed another 2 GB update...

OK, while we wait I might as well start a thread showing my paintwork so far..

I started with a few simple paints for the Savage Cub:
jk6767
in reality an ex-Swedish Air Force Piper Cub based in Sweden

A New Zealand based Savage Cub:
jk6890

an Australian Savage Cub:
jk6927

and finally another impersonation of a real world Piper Cub:
jk7027
 
and then a few TBM's (and no, not Grummans version, unfortunately)

two French military versions
jk7090

jk7152

and a Belgian
jk7222

and the last one for now is this Citation:
jk7287

they're not all upload yet, but they will be soon(ish)
 
I promised another Caravan, well, here it is:
jk7659

I do have the feeling the update made my trees grow again, I can't remember the trees along the Esplanade being this tall in real life..

I love the repaints.

I made my own personal repaint for a plane in XPlane 11 using Photoshop. Would I be able to do the same for FS2020, or is there software required? I am by no means a repainter. Would just like to see my own livery in FS2020.

nice work, the images of Darwin are nearly 10yrs old, there are so many out of date or incorrect features of the whole region, the depicted Darwin is nothing near the Darwin you last saw when you where down here, Even Fanny Bay and the Navy base in the image are extremely dated.

Yes the esplanade is heavily over done, even with the pre Cyclone Marcus imagery there are way too many trees, these days there are only a fraction of them remain

Isn't one of the Asobo teams items on their "to do" list an update of MSFS to a more recent version of Bing maps? I seem to recall it was, anyway. Regards, Ken

I think that with the streaming model, we're getting what Bing has. I know that the short stretch of I-840 that just opened a few months ago near me is still dirt roadbed both in Bing and the sim.
 
Jan,

I had to shorten a couple of texture names as my system said they were to long??

I also had an issue when I put the model in the community folder, as the pilot texture path was to long for the drive. Not sure how i get round this issue.
