  • 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.

wait, did I miss a moment when there was a "B" available?

The "B" model has been in development for some years but hasn't yet been released. Robert's got lots of projects on the go I think so he'll get around to finishing that one when he gets the time. It's a beautiful model :)
 
OK folks, modelling on the P-61C is complete, external and interiors all done now and crewed up. Visibility conditions are in place for the crew also. I think it's a wrap - now for final texture adjustments, and TacPack files for the guns. The manual will also be updated from the Reporter's version to one specific to the P-61C, which had the same powerplant but very different weights and balances which Pam has expertly included in the updated FDE.

Some final images before the launch, hopefully in a week or two now. Enjoy the piccies :)

Absolutely beautiful work indeed. Reminds me of my old Monogram 1/48 scale model from a long time ago. Question on the shot above, is that the sight for the turreted mount on top?

Yes, it's the gunner's sight, although for simplicity's sake the TacPack guns will be aligned with the pilot's own gunsight. If both line up by chance I'll be happy though :)
 
So, she's finished :) Just writing the manual now and taking images to put in the pages. I know I said no more piccies here, but who doesn't like piccies eh? :jump:

Final colour schemes complete, paint kit will be uploaded separately for those who like to colour things in better than I can:

Hi Dean,
Absolutely outstanding work, just beautiful. Thank you.

What I also love about this is the fact that you've done it using FSDS 3.51, not Gmax or 3ds Max et al, proving there's a lot left in the ol' girl yet! :applause:

Cheers

Thanks Shessi ( and all ). Yeah, FSDS can still do great things. I'm sticking with it for a while yet :) Took another lucky shot earlier for the manual - rather them than me!
