    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.

New Question About the A(B)-26K?

rdaniell

SOH-CM-2013
I seem to remember that John Terrell also updated the model sometime after his initial release so the pilots were wearing helmets instead of baseball caps.
Does anyone reading this post know where I can find that modification if it exists?

Thanks..

I don't recall. But if I find it, I'll let you know.

For the record, I have four aircraft folders for the B-26 for FS9 and FSX.

"a26_soh" is the original aircraft for the B and C models. "B-26K" is for the B-26K, of course. There is a modified LAS version in another folder, and the last is for the On Mark Marksman. And as I mentioned in another post these were ported over to FSX from my FS9 install.

BTW - I just did a search in our library and there are still a lot of the original downloads for the B-26 include installs for FS9 and FSX. I refined my search for files by Bomber_12th, and didn't see any updates on the pilots. Perhaps the update might be in a thread somewhere?

Thank you for your searching. Should you ever come across the pilot mods, I would appreciate a HU.

I also did a search here out the Outhouse. Like you I didn't find any pilot mods but, I did find and download a couple repaints. One is particular was a "matte" finish by Gman 5250 which better suits my desire to have a "stripped" CIA version.

Okay. I think I found it.

All of my B-26K models include the file 'b26k_pilots.bmp' which contains a Korean era flight suit and white helmet.

My guess is that its part of the standard install as the file only shows with the K model.

Guess I need to take a closer look at my own screenshots. :adoration:

Thank You. I did a search of my hard drive for that file and found it. I also did a search here at the Outhouse for:

B-26K Counter Invader Update V1.1

I haven't installed it yet but, I think you have to have this whole update installed for the new pilot texture to work. If that works, there will be no further update here from me. Thanks again WarHorse47.

Not that it has any bearing... but there was also an update for the B-26K pilot(s) by Javis... assuming that the screenshot above is the SOH model for FS9 by John Terrell.

Javis' pilot figure is the one included with credit to him in John's B-26K Counter Invader Update V1.1. It can be found right here at the Outhouse.

Anyone looking for this needs to go to the library and do a search for "counter invader" and it will come up under Bomber_12th. It's an FS9 model, but did port-over to FSX with the typical fixes (glass, etc.) if I recall.
 
Would this be a decent candidate for getting Tacpacked?

If so, it would be a great fit for the FSX@War Southeast Asia Theater.
