    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.

Spotted circling over the Flight Replicas testing airport today....

Just a fun shot. I think it's the earliest I've ever shown a model. Which is why it's so far away. :)

It is, of course, a Consolidated B-24J Liberator, in this case of the Block 130 - 150 range (closer to Block 150 than 130, with larger navigator observation windows), CO (San Diego built). There's lots to learn about B-24's!

At this stage, just trying to get the geometry laid out correctly and get the initial flight dynamics done.

Looks like the lines of a B-24 Liberator. Hope she lands at the Flight Replica airfield. Read the lines under the picture Tom. At least I can tell a Liberator when I see one.

Long way to go, Tom, this is just the exterior model. But as someone asked of the B-24 was underway, thought it might be fun just to confirm. :)
 
Progress! I'm definitely looking forward to this, even though I know it's a ways off. (Pun intended). ;)
