    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.

Does anyone know what happened to Javier Fernandez "AKA Thrawn"? He was working on an 80's version of his Nimitz and A USS Midway but, I have not seen him on any boards for a long time.

Hi! I´ve been quite a little too busy at work for the last months, but hopefully I´ll be able to resume my work on the 80's version this summer.
 
Woohoo my Tomcats will nolonger feel awkward being surrounded by superbugs, also said superbugs will no longer feel inadequate every time a Cat traps in their nest :jump:

Looking forward to it when its ready, heard you had retired and had long since given up hope of seing the 80's airwing.

Excellent news! My Crusaders, Phantoms and Viggies are absolutely craving a Javier made USS Midway . .
 
@Javier

Good to hear that the new carrier may still see the light!
I am releasing a ramake of the Goshawk soon...and a remake of the Tomcat is in the works. Needless to say, your carriers are in 99% of my test flights and I am still amazed by their quality.

I hope they will work in Flight - as I doubt that the default ones from Microsoft will be that good.
 
Javier...

Glad to see you are back. Use your carriers all the time and other than re-flying the default missions every year or so, I dont even remember what the Acceleration carriers look like.

I have a question. In your models, can you change the Meatball from 4.0 to 3.5 glideslope? Or is it hard-coded and stuck at 4.0?

Thanks

Did someone say Crusaders as in F-8? Do we have a native F-8? (besides Virtavia)

Although originally for FS9 there's a FSX upgrade of the excellent F-8E(FN) by Roland Laborie and crew and there are some USN/USMC repaints for it. Back in June there was a thread here that discussed possibly a FSX-native F-8 gunfighter and RF-8G photo bird being developed in the future. I'd love to see both of those birds show up eventually, along with the SOH project S-2 Tracker/E-1 Tracer/C-1 Trader assortment.
And also count me among those who would love to see a Midway-class CVA in FSX, preferably USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) circa 1968-70.
 
I know Sylvain Parouty is going to build one! With his Etendard package in mind you know how the quality will be....AWESOME!! :applause:

Hank
 
I thought it was Sylvain who posted on the earlier F-8 thread but wasn't sure. And yes, if the 'Saders would just be the equals of the RFN's Etendard and Zephyr I'd be in hog heaven. :)

My words Craig!!!

Could we expect that we get the 80´s Nimitz at the next time Javier? Now that the Team SDB USS Enterprise is released, you´ll have to finish the Nimitz with Tomcats on Deck!

Please, we need "The Final Countdown and -=Top=GUN=-" -Style Nimitz!!!

At last I wanted to say that I´m very thankfull for your Nimitz and Eisenhower, very very nice Work!
