    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.

Some of you may have known that I have stopped simming, since the release of the A2A T-6 project. But hopefully I will be back soon as here we are creating a sub-division building VR cockpit simulators for Museums around the Globe. Who knows, I might be able to take a test rig home for research purposes of course!

I work for a British Company that builds fullsize replica aircraft for Museums and the Movies and today, we have had a request for of all things, two Nanchang CJ-6 trainers. A little different for us as our hangar is currently home to 3 Spitfires, a Hurricane and a Mustang.

So this morning have been trawling for information and have been told by a good friend of mine that one was created for FSX or was in the process of? We just need to see what it looks like in a 3D form and then take it from there. It may be that the project will have to be shelved as perhaps we can't locate a donor airframe or find suitable references, but seeing a 3D model might help tremendously. Will have to dust down my rig and perhaps set it back to show everyone here what we may be building.

The question is, does such a model exist?

Best wishes,

There is a Nanchang CJ-6 in the collection of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario. Not sure if it helps you or not, but may be a source of information.
