  • 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.

Tweaking an old Favorite

As a way of keeping myself busy, I've been tweaking/upgrading some distant favorites of mine. Currently the Yak-23 is being reworked. Always liked this jet.

A shine would look great on this one but as with any of Ito Sans aircraft, an alpha simply makes the aircraft transparent.

The VC is coming along, still a fair amount of work before it's completed.
 
Very nice! The Yak has always looked to me like some engineers simply stuck wings and stabilizers directly onto a hobby model rocket engine (zoom! :adoration:) What kind of reworks are you contemplating?

Just what I'm showing in the screenshots. . .new panel lines and rivets on the exterior and populating the VC with avionics (art) that gives the "appearance" of a functioning cockpit. If I had the expertise I would convert it to Native FSX but that is beyond the small amount of usable gray matter I still posses.
