  • 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.

Started out to do a black one....

And accidentally figured out how to do it a bit different than I originally envisioned.

Man! That's pretty dang cool! I bet you could apply that to a Corsair skin and it would just pop! I say that just because of the smooth curve from the fuse to the wing. Not the same as a Mustang, or even the Grumman birds.
 
I put on the back burner while working on another one, but it's back in front now. Just have to upload the other one.

They can be a handful, especially during takeoffs and landings. But go for a touchdown speed of around 90 (short wings with no flaps), let it bounce all it wants to (be one with the bounce) and if you don't hit anything (can't see for nothng out of the cockpit), you're good to go. Take offs, I'll use the rudder a lot, the elevators some, but trying to use the aerilons below 90 can get you hurt. As with landings, just try to keep from hitting things as there's really not much control on the ground except for taxiing.

Once up to flying speed though, it's a joy to fly. Although quite maddening to figure out how to take off and land in it. The freeware Warwick Carter one handles a bit different from the Alebao one. The Alabeo is my preference between the two.

As for the Virtavia Gee Bees, I've got them but never really figured them out. Having too much fun with the others.



I think this one is pretty much where I want it. I'll kick it around a day or so, then upload it.

Trying to decide which way to go with that one at the moment. I know I'll need to do a bare metal one, but after that?? I think I've got all the updates installed.
