    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.

Short trip from Wasilla to Talkeetna in questionable weather (it's still VMC if I can see the ground, right?). Luckily the weather broke before my destination.





If you haven't given lagaffe's Champ a try, you're missing out. I love navigating by map, compass, and the Mk.1 eyeball. There's a real sense of accomplishment when you arrive right where you intended to without using GPS or the in-sim maps.
 
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.








 
Thank you, Jan, and thank you, Danny!

I just noticed in that the screenshot of the front cockpit that I posted is an older shot, taken before I created the new placards for the Interphone Amplifier box, located on the right-hand radio shelf. I was surprised, when I was doing the custom cockpit textures, that the graphics for those placards had never been completed by whoever the developer was that had been tasked by Asobo - they simply read "Place Holder". So, after researching and figuring out it was an AM-26/AIC-2 amplifier box, I found some photos to use to create the placards myself - some had them black while some had them white, and I decided to go with the white versions.
 
I think that one will forever be my favorite Lancaster paint scheme, from the time period in which the BBMF Lancaster was painted in those markings.
 
Just like the Wilga, you want to do stuff that normally, a helicopter wants to.

Also, there is some detail work worth getting up close with.
Instead of flying, I find myself opening and closing the vent window, just to watch the mechanism.
