    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.

Request for C-47 repaints

gray eagle

SOH-CM-2026
If anyone has a copy of Frank Gonzalez' C-47 in the Monarch and Challenger airlines, would appreciate a copy. I checked with Tom Gibson over at Classic Airlines; he has some of the paints that the late
Frank Gonzalez made. I ask Mr Gibson if he would upload the two I am requesting here and was told that he would try but no guarantees. In the meantime, thought I'd check here. Thanks.

I'd Love to see these as well. I being an amateur FAL Historian (My Hometown Airline) I have a great affection for the Airlines that merged to become "FRONTIER." Did Mr. Gonzales do an Arizona Airways DC-3 as well??
 
I was just about to announce the same thing, I managed to get in touch with the custodian of these files Tom Gibson (CalClassic) and request that he upload them and it looks like he did.
One thing I noticed, is that these two liveries were done in BMP's and the aircraft.cfg entries would have to be updated to reflect the latest C-47.
On the Monarch, the Monarch Airlines lettering on the fuselage looks to be a tad blurry, wonder if there is a way to fix that so the lettering appears sharp and focused.

It looks like Mr Gonzales didn't do this one, I'll bet if he was still with us, he would of done a repaint of this one.
This would be a nice repaint.......

West Coast Air

Have been really enjoying the Manfred Jahn C-47 Beta V3.14. Have been interested in re-flying real-world DC-3 historic routes, and in particular when flying over Orbx regions (e.g., PNW, NoCal, SoCal and England, Scotland, Ireland and Germany.) Recently came across this link

http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/complete/complete.htm#USA

And found the West Coast Airlines routes quite interesting. Is anyone aware of a repaint for this airline?

Speaking of repaints, I've been looking for a repaint and cannot find it. The C-47 is
"Miss Virginia", N47E, based in Bridgewater, VA.
Does any one here have it? and would share?
