    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.

Screenshots (FS2024)

Here is a selection of the many screenshots I've taken of the newly-released Blackbird Simulations A6M5 Zero this afternoon. I've already gushed all about it in the release thread. It is certainly amongst the best $25 I've ever spent on a flight sim aircraft (it's worth far more, in my opinion). I can't wait to fly it again tonight.

My first repaint for the MS/Asobo AT-6 Texan is now available on Flightsim.to, depicting the restored T-6G N29931, which is based at Flying Cloud Airport near Minneapolis, MN. There's hardly a square inch I didn't customize on this one, both inside and out, to try and very closely match the real aircraft. All screenshots from 2024.

Finally got to give a try out after an issue getting hold of it.
 
After watching a tutorial on Youtube, about which controls to map and how to realistically operate the thing, I made my first flight in the hot air balloon this evening - a short hop over Oshkosh with live weather. Today, I started watching a little bit of the Oshkosh webcams - by Saturday, it's going to be insanely busy once more, as AirVenture kicks off next week.

I'm really impressed in the detail of the wicker basket, and how all of the wicker strips are individually modeled in 3D - as such, you can see right through the spaces between all of the overlapping strips.
