    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.

Oooh, love this era. But I’m still coming to grips with the F7U Cutlass and the fun lil Emerald Scenery Design 1500R.

Still, I have all of BBS’s other planes and they’re really good, so I’m sure I’ll grab it soon. Available now from the BBS website, though you’ll have to wait for Marketplace to fly it in career mode.

I must be way out of the loop with Black Box - I had no idea a Twin Pin was in the works! A 100% definite purchase for me.
 
. . . and it's available outside the marketplace, which means I can adjust the cockpit textures (Black Box struggles a bit there, IMO) and customize the paintjobs! I'm in.
 
I think some of the texturing could be a little better and there are a few bugs, but I think it's well worth the money. Flies well, very close to the numbers, great performance, superb choice of liveries and I'm really happy that a developer has put the time and effort into developing it, it's hardly a mainstream choice. Spent many hours in Rob Richardson's Twin Pin back in FSX, so I'm glad they've filled a hole in the sky with this!
 
Give me radials, a really good flight model, and a collection of period steam gauges and I can't really resist. Wrap it all in a pretty oddball UK plane and I apparently have to buy it the moment I get off work.

If I were to buy this, the B-25 would be instantly availalbe for purchase. ;-) So me goonna waits.
 
Well, I'm definitely not regretting the purchase. It just needs a little texture love (especially inside), but the model looks great and it flies amazingly well.

I've customized the outside a little (1st draft) -- the interior is gonna take some work.

The paints above have now been uploaded to fs.2. I have no immediate plans for more, why, are you after something?

Thank you - I'll grab them later this evening. No, I don't have any livery requests at the moment, though the default ones could do with some improvement, to be honest. Anyway, thanks again for these two liveries, and all the others you do - very much appreciated. (y)
