  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Michael Richards' Stinson?

Thank you for the bird!:applause:
I have downloaded it and it flies great, started to paint it but have to find a way to make it less shiny, the ones in Spain were more satin than shiny and at the end of the day they were mostly covered in cloth, I believe, sooo...
Al good fun! :jump:

If you have any skills with MCX then reducing the shine is not difficult.
Pull the model into MCX, then go into the Material Editor and reduce the reflection scale on the textures "stinson_108_3_t" and "stinson_108_3_t_1".
In the same dialog box you can set "Use gloabel environment map as reflection" to false.

This will reduce the shine and you can tune it to your preference.

Got a point there.
I have not used MCX for that yet, but I'll definitely give it a try, Thanks
