    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!

Is that Switzerland or thereabouts in the Alps? CFS3's dealing with roads and rivers is always farcical in mountainous areas.
 
Not sure what you mean Dan, but if you're referring the difference between the wings and fuselage? The fuselage had stringers along it, so the geodetic structure didn't show through the fuselage fabric like it did on the wings. The only time I've seen the structure show on the body is when it's been damaged?
Also the effect is quite a bit exaggerated, I actually prefer it without the bump map, but If I don't do one, well you know the rest! lol
 
No, I think it may be that the skin over the structure on both the wings and the fuselage is brighter in the specular than the skin over the gaps and is maybe causing the exaggeration vs if the structure details were not part of the specular. Though it's hard to say from a screenshot.
 
The Germans were concerned that the allies would start using b29s to bomb. So they developed an interceptor to fly at altitudes they believed the b29 would use. There were a couple of versions that reached testing and the J-1 was one of them. They had several others with different engines, radar and roles. Yes go and take her above 30k she stills moves along pretty well with the turbosupercharged BMW or DB engines. I enjoyed making that one.....

Yes, it's Switzerland, and it was a real task getting the ship into water! I also had to change the 'WinterSeason' value in the cfs3europe.xml file for snow to appear far south enough, which it doesn't by default, regardless of the date.
