  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

I got the P-47 back in 2008, that's why you can't purchase it anymore sadly.
 
Was able to talk with the owner of Aeroplane Heaven and he is helping me with the P-47 series package. Do have one of them now. Regards,Scott

Did manage to get one of the AH P-47's. A P-47D Bubble Top Canopy version. Nice model for when it came out and a nice cockpit also. The quest continues...

Thanks Mick. nice seeing the Defiant getting a bit of use, btw don't forget to lower the fairings for combat!:encouragement:
 
Thanks Bravo/4, yep the bomb bay toggle for the fairing.

Mastering a workable attack profile isn't easy but it very rewarding when you hear those 4 303s open up.
Ive found that a dive down to the left or right side on a parallel course to your target then when you are alongside pull up while rolling into the target gets the best results, its just a matter of imagining the arc of the turret guns.

Haven't really got a good photo of the maneuver yet with the target in the shot but.....
