    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

My limited skills rendered another livery for the fine Mercator P4M-1 converted by Lazarus. Depicts SN 124365 of Fleet Air Recon Squadron VQ-1. In memory of the 16 crew members who were killed during a mission out of Incirlik, Turkey in January of 1960. After researching operational dates for the P4M-1Q Mercators it appears that many, if not all were deactivated during the year 1960, so it's quite possible that this aircraft was on one of it's last missions before being taken out of operational status.

Excellent! Now we're getting somewhere!
Still grinding away at the misfeatures. All in all, it's one of my fav fliers in the box, along with the C-133 and Marlins.
Working on the Privateer, too. If I can get a steering nose wheel into that, some post-war skins would really make it with the Korean-era sceneries. If I can ever figure out how to do a para-flare that illuminates the ground, we'd be in business for firefly sorties.
Keep en coming!
