  • 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.

Working on De Vlijt (Texel).....

For me there is no need to make it drivable as in that case you should make a panel or VC and I don't think the use I would make from it, would justify the additional work.

Cheers,

If anyone can help me to drawings of the Hr. Ms. Johan Maurits van Nassau I'd be a happy man. I already asked on Dutch forums.

Sorry Cees, but ships aren't my thing. Perhaps the Nathional Archive in The Hague can help you.

Cheers,
Huub
 
True, but the national archive only has drawings of the original ship, not of the conversion done in the thirties. I'll see how far I can get with a few pictures.

another sloop like the 'Johan Maurits van Nassau' is the 'HR. van Kinsbergen'....

hr-van-kinsbergen-1939-sloop---netherlands.gif


as i said it's another Sloop, and looking at images is remarkably similar.....
 
Thanks Matt. It looks similar, but has a very different lay-out. The overall schape from the top is very useable for me.

Cees
 
It's not that difficult to make a ship in FSDS.....

This will be the Hr. Ms. Johan Maurits van Nassau.

:kilroy:

Cees
 
Yeah Hank, I got these already. There's a lot more btw, like a model that gives a good overview off the top structure of the sloop.

Thanks,

Cees
 
Admirable progress, great initiative

Following this thread, from the beginning has been exciting to say the least.

Cees, needs a ship - so off he goes and makes a beauty. That's praiseworthy dedication.

Well done indeed Sir, and as with all such worthy projects a steadfast group of people building up with help, encouragement and support. This is the way to progess our hobby forward. Bravo to all those involved.

I only hope that sometime in the future, we'll have a chance to combine efforts for another awesome project.

Working on the Cheb scenery for Milton's amazing Avia aircraft has revealed the huge need for new scenery objects - especially for historical projects. Cars, trucks, buses, trains, buildings, vegetatation; the list is endless and the need - very great.
Many folk would be pleasantly surprised at how relatively easy some of these things are to create.
Some may take 30 minutes, others 30 hours, but its all worth every second spent.

The fun doing so, and the sense of accomplishment gained, creating an object for the first time is indescribable.

Keep inspiring Cees! :applause:
 
making great progress Cees! :ernae:

and Nigels right, once you have the basics theres always that sense of "now what?", so off you fly (if like me using maps) and every now and then you'll spot something on the map and decide to bring it to life.... currently.... i've got about 5 buildings to finish off, one's a terminal for Romeo-Delta (RDaniell), the other is a new Hangar for me, the remaining 3 are a BOFORS, Hispano-Suiza .404 'turret' and a Defense bunker.... the latter 3 for a project i'm working on.....

keep going Cees! looking fantastic and eagerly awaiting the outcome! :jump::ernae:
 
Nigel, Matt,

Thanks for the inspiring words guys! I'm having a great time making these objects. I have to get away from the readme's and the traffic of De Vlijt, De Mok, Buiksloot and Schellingwoude from time to time, and this helps to put the mind to 'rest'. Soon the four mentioned Dutch bases will be available.
Here's the progress on the sloop, a new set of wheels for the landsverk, and the Landverk itself. It will be texturing time in the near future! For now I'm going to stop. I'll visit my father this afternoon. Let's see if he recognizes me this time.


:salute:

Know the need for change of tempo all too well. Helps keep us focused.

Both models look fantastic - looks like we'll have some swapping to do.

If 1930's visiting traffic is welcome at Texel, I'm sure something Czech can be arranged fairly soon. :icon29:

Hi,

very true. I look forward to Wolfi's objects - they have some period objects that might be helpful.

Best regards,
Volker
