    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.

One of the things I've always loved about the stock Diamond twin is the blue paint. It may be silly, but the paint, to me at least, is quite nice. I missed having a blue option with the COWS release, so I downloaded the paintkit and saw what a mess it was. So I just opened the paint files in Gimp and ran the Hue slider just about all the way to the left on all the albedo files that contained red paint and then exported back into a new texture folder copied from the red one. Once I added a new fltsim.x section to the cfg and rescanned the layout.json, I had myself a nice DA42XI with the old familiar blue!

It's great seeing the British carrier in development to go with your Seafires, Mike!

I take it you've probably seen this already (lots of great Seafire carrier action):

 
Thank you, Tom, and thank you Danny.

Danny, I've just downloaded that repaint of yours (I love the mix of camouflage), and it was interesting to read the history of the aircraft and its pilot defecting to the west - something that seems to have been quite prevalent in those final weeks of the war in Europe, fleeing the Eastern/Russian front, based on the amount of similar accounts I've read.

Very true , John
And understandable . In those final days , training of new jagdwaffe pilots did not exceed 50 hours of flying time . And the fact that these kids were about 18 years of age and the odds of survival were that low , made the future look very grimm.
