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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Sweet, Jan - thank you!
As Dimus noted, the camo paint looks like it has been applied with an actual air spray gun. I have not heard back yet from jim Pollak, so let's press ahead in the direction you are going. We'll fly these four paints of yours together in our SEA missions, and get video for you. One of us will act as FAC in T-28, OV-10 or A-1.
We surely do appreciate your time on this,
Toby

I'm glad you like it already, but it was (and is) still work in progress..
I had been wondering why 56-3163 was so often referred to as 'Day Tripper':
and I added a few more details, like the name of the pilot and crew chief:
and different rescue arrows:
and played with the alpha to get better engine textures:
still a few small details to sort, but nearly there, unless you spot any glaring errors? I'll finish this one tomorrow and start on the next three..

Uploading as I type. I'll be travelling next week, so I thought I might as well upload them now. Should you find any errors, please let me know, and I'll correct them after I get back.

they brought my computer to its knees, so this is the only shot I managed of all four of them..

55-3550, with a boar's head, or is that a wolf??

Jankees, those look absolutely marvelous!... as fresh out of the paintshop. I was around the F-4C/D & E a lot in that time period, and the paint used then faded/weathered very fast! In just a week of use, the fading was obvious. And this was in the high desert at Victorville, Calif. George AFB, just south of Edwards AFB.
I don't remember the actual repaint schedule, as I worked in the bomb dump, but was on the flightline a lot, doing flightline delivery of ordinance. I do remember that whenever a spot needed touching up after a repair, it was very obvious as the new paint really stood out from the weathered paint. It could be seen from many yards away.
I am sure many of the old guard here from that time period will agree, but without actual pictures of elapsed time, it would be hard to get right, or maybe I should say, wrong?!
Anyways, I really like those Huns. Very well done.
