    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.

Civilian cockpit.

Three models: Fighter, Fighter-bomber and civilian. Skins for both squadrons that operated the type. details here.
Suitable for both P3Dv5.2 and P3Dv4.5 -- and maybe FSX too.

This project is still very much in development.

The product isn't mine. The developer's parent company has -- along with so many others -- switched their interest to M$FS products.
I'm just trying to generate some interest.

Interest generated! :jump:

If that company has switched to MSFS, then I sincerely hope that they'll release if for that sim as well!

Loved the Whirlwind since CFS2 and this model looks gorgeous.

So add my name to Interested pile for P3D and FSX.

Classic Warbirds Design Team?
Whatever, any RAF aircraft that was operational from the UK within the time frame when the Whirlwind flew that looked like this would be SOC!
Any Ground Crew that had an aircraft in this condition would find themselves in serious trouble with the CWO.
'Weathering' should always be subtle, RAF squadrons took pride in their turn out.

Always an exception to the rule.
And I always think that overdone 'weathering' is far from TTL.

You're entirely correct -- it usually is. The Whirlwind had a hard war.

There were only ever the two Squadrons (137 & 263) of these -- a bit like the two Squadrons (41 & 91) that operated the LFMkXII Spitfire.

Ah, well. Update: TacPack has just been enabled.

I think I'm safe in saying that the development of this product is complete for P3Dv4/5. I can't comment about FSX.

The developer's company has yet to be persuaded to release this, though.
More as I get it.
