    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.

Paint scheme request...

Wondering if a talented skin artist here would like to do a paint scheme for me based on Craig Richardson's Erco Ercoupe 415? It's based on a real world Canadian Ercoupe owned by Catherine Boyko with the only difference being the accent colour, the civil registration mark, and some simple nose art (just a name for the airplane in the accent color). I have Craig's paint kit, so I can forward that. I saw this aircraft on YouTube awhile back and was quite taken with the paint scheme, and I have neither the graphics software or skills to do it justice. The paint scheme I envision is metallic silver overall with a deep, metallic blue accent colour. The civilian registration would be done in the same style, albeit a bit smaller, and would read C-GRNH. As for the nose art on the port-side engine cowling, it's simply the word "Cloudhopper" done in a simple, readable, cursive script in the blue accent colour.

I've long been a fan of the Ercoupe both in FSX, FS9, and in real life. Here's a pic of Ms. Boyko's aircraft...

And here's some video of it...


Thanks for your consideration,
