    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.

Another great release of your artwork. Looks like I will have to go and get the FR P40, which actually looks a lot better overall to the version I have, released by Iris as a package 'Aces of the Commonwealth'.

I have the Boomerang so these paints are a welcome addition. (The Boomerang was well an interesting aeroplane, lot of work to make it happen too late and too slow before it was ready to do anything. I had a late uncle who flew them before going back to the MKIX Spitfire in Burma, he did not have many kind words for the Boomer, reckoned it could bite bad and hard on the turn from base to final on the unsuspecting and was well stodgy, after the Spitfire it would have been).

Is that the Abacus Wellington? it is the only half decent one I have.

Thanks and appreciated.

Its the FCS Wellington, (Daniel from Alphasim) I must admit it has one of the best VCs ive encountered, the most produced RAF Bomber during the war, FCS have done a great job

its just a shame FCS dont have paintkits for their releases, either way for it age, its level of internal detail is surprisingly up there

Im moving onto the the jungle and home front P40s now
 
Hi Bendyflyer
If you are tempted by the Flight Replica P-40 now is the time to buy it, half price at the Pilotshop. Personally I would buy the complete set.

Regards Paul Day.

To me it looks waaay too brownish. In reality VVS/DOSAAF An-2's came out of the factory painted olive green with maybe a hint of yellow and very light blue-gray underside. Of course, they could be repainted at the maintenance, but I never ever saw an An-2 that brown. And I've seen them A LOT. Here's a color that I'd call typical.

its the correct green,

its the time of day and the filters in paintshop i used that have influenced that image

but thank you for your input

You are going to be pretty busy to deliver on that. There are some paints going back to the first of the month (like the Hind in post #193) that has yet to see the light of day. Can't count how many I'm waiting for. Good luck. :very_drunk:

Got it thanks, I have that one but had not reinstalled it after major rebuild of FSX some time ago. Peculiar how it has an Abacus moniker on the install icon but is marketed as FCS, which I guess it is. Agree re the details. My only gripe if I recall was if you zoomed back a little in VC view the model stopped aft of the seat back. Now back and installed awaiting the RAAF paint.

To all the others, yep the FR P-40 is on my new year wish list but I have so many others to catch up on and at the moment so little time it may have to wait. But a quick look confirms that it has that FR stamp of precision and detail all over.

Have a good new year!
