    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.

Interesting, hope you manage to pull it off, everything you do makes this old sim so much better. I recently got to test the gunsight work you did with Dan for the Spitfire, makes a big difference!:encouragement:
 
OTU!

Thanks for the comments fellas!
Schemes are from 57 (OTU) Sqdr, these oddly painted Spitfires were flown by senior officers in flight training, they would simulate attacks oh trainees, which earned them the nickname "Bouncers". The red, white and blue nose, was flown for a time by FO "Ginger" Lacey, and the yellow nose by FO James Storrar, who said this of his aircraft "My yellow nosed Spitfire, the only one of its kind, used to frighten pupils. It looked exceptionally smart and the girlfriends never failed to recognise it"

Very nice work John! With all these great pics of your work over the last months, are they going to be released or what? Would hate to get rough with you John, but very willing to let your daughters know where you hide your credit cards if they aren't released soon,LOL
 
LOL we're getting there Scott, some nice features coming with this one!

They already have my credit cards, I'd like to know where they hide them from myself!:hopelessness:
 
John,
I have to say it again, absolutely stunning, just beautiful. Your superb texs along with the bump mapping, just....... I mean those last two screenies are just aviation print quality, I would be very pleased to have those hung on my wall.

Great to see another slant on the Spit. I knew about these early test/jump flights, but I didn't know that the guys 'dressed' up their ac for it. Learn something new!

What I would say, CFS3-ers really need some good/better prop texs, IMHO, I think it slightly detracts from the overall, as it's about the only thing that's not too realistic.....

(Oh, I appreciate you guys probably look at other forums, but you just have to take a look at what Nigel's doing...http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/115165-Avro....)

Cheers
