    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!

Been asked if I could re-vamp the GC He 111 textures, so here we are, still wip, and pit won't be changed, (not enough hours in the day). The old model can still hold it's own! :adoration:

Just think when GC released this in 2004(!), it was classed as a B grade model...well I wonder what they'd think of it now!!

Beautiful skins there John, especially with the lumpitdy-bumb mapping. :applause: And of course Ankors shaders etc.

Cheers

It'll be awhile 'till I have a rig capable of supporting bump mapping... soooo,
can anyone post a screenie of a Hurricane showing off the fuselage ribbing under the fabric?
Thanx in advance...
Also any pix of wip's Beaufighter pit & exterior (either/or) would be duly devoured :icon32:
 
Here's one a bit different, showing a project I've been chipping away at a bit at a time for years. Scheduled release date: 12th of Never (hopefully I can do better than that).

What is it and where am I?

Haha, both technically correct - not what I was going for though.

The Caproni is from MAW, so it's not what I'm working on in this shot.
 
I would say it would be nice if you were working on inland water edges not looking like sea surf! Clouds and skyline? BTW I still find the whitish fields 'en masse' a bit disconcerting.
 
Manny's got it. Location-specific water colors. This is in the Po River Delta south of Venice. Each body of water can have it's own unique colors and features. It all goes into a 4096x4096 version of the cfs3h2o.dds (original was 512x512). At this point the coastal areas have all been mapped, but adding details to complex areas like deltas and estuaries is a slow job, often pixel by pixel. So it's going to take me a while and I only have the patience to work on it a little at a time.:banghead: Here's another view of the Po delta, from higher up and without clouds so you can see better:
