    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.

The Thomas Ruth Antonov AN 225

Jafo, d/l your AN-225 and it is gorgeous. Thank you for your hard work and exquisite workmanship. I have even put your textures on the original Thomas Ruth rendition. Superb work, sir. Thank you for your gifts..tp :applause:
 
Last 124 to do, I think....again no hope of porting from the 225. So far just the main...no specs etc...just getting the layout to make sense on the smaller plane...;)

Thanks, Seahawk...it's always more fun to create a 'what if' as it lets your imagination take over...a bit...
Here it is with specs and alphas...getting metal to flare like metal is the fun part...;)

Definitely last one...before uploading.....One more 'real' one...RA-82080 ...still more to do...

Starting to compile the 124 for upload. It'll be much the same as the previous 225. Looks like it'll have 20 paints apart from the original 'white'.
7 real planes....
8 'fake' passenger....
5 'fake' freight.

I kinda got caught up doing them....on a roll, as they say...;)
 
It's been a long road....back and forward with reworks and tweaks between the 124 and 255 ...but finally the 124 is uploaded.
I'll get around to compiling the Paint Kit and upload that as well...;)

Here's an early pic....way back when I was trying to rejig from the 225 layout into the 124...and relocate doors etc...;)

I've just uploaded the HD Paint Kit for the 124, again in 4096 resolution....much the same as what was done for the 225.
They were 'only' related - a bit. It took quite a bit of time/effort to rework the 225 into the 124 as kits....although the porting of actual skins from one to the other was a bit less of a pain....;)

Somewhere along the line I'd not bothered with the Shuttle version [Buran]...but I've loaded that into my paint version to see how it worked out....probably need to revisit the shuttle itself...and see if I can improve...;)
