    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.

Paint Kit for Thomas Ruth's great model of the Antonov AN-225 Mryia for FSX in 4096x4096 detail resolution. In Photoshop PSD format layers for easy modding. At this resolution the resulting BMPs are 65 meg file [8,8,8 BMP]...so invert/convert to DDS DXT5 format for better managed size. © Thomas Ruth 2008.

This Kit was built from scratch from enlarged original bitmaps and reworked per-pixel to get sections to align, etc. No-one appeared to have done a great deal with the spec mapping, particularly when it came to shiny chrome surfaces and were painted 'flat' [fake shine].

The main detail advantage of 4096 is the panel seams are 1-pixel wide [with matching bump maps] and not 'fudged' for look as would be the case in lower resolutions.
I've included layers for what would be the 4 main different versions of the one aircraft, along with a fake one [Qantas]. Bump maps are completed/included for you.
