    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.

Wonderful C-54 Book

All,

With the recent news that Manfred John will be working a C-54, I purchased a WONDERFUL book on the C-54. It is the latest in the WARPINT Series (#109), and is by Charles Stafrace. High price at ~$35 for a softcover, but great narrative and TONS of good pics.

Is Manfred Jahn doing a C-54 as well? The only one I am aware of at the moment is by Flight-Replicas. As a spin-off from there Canadair Dc-4M Northstar / Argonaut...that one is looking amazing and if it's just as good as the Northstar it will be a must have.
 
Right here and I am not making one. You are thinking of Mike Cyul, see his NorthStar/Argonaut thread.
 
The DC-4/C-54 for some reason never struck my as particularly interesting. Luftbrücke, North Star and Ernie G.'s tales aside, at it was little more than a four-engined DC-3. The upgauged, pressurized version, however...
 
Then you should feel right at home in Flight-replicas Northstar, a pressurized and merlin engined dc-6 disguised as a dc-4 :untroubled:

Manfred and Mike....my apologies-- I must be losing it. Somehow I got messed up! Sorry for any confusion. I certainly didn't mean to spread misinformation, that's for sure....:dizzy:
