    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.

CBI Scenery Project

Just uploaded the Eastern Burma scenery package, featuring airstrips at Heho, Lashio, Namsang & Kengtung.

Now to lie down in a darkened room for a bit :stupid: I started this just about 12 months ago, & have spent 3 or 4 hours most days on it...
 
Thanks very much John! Yes, have a rest. With over 800 quality downloads, you are the most prolific contributor to CFS2.
 
Thanks UT.

With these bases I now have have everything for to cover the AVG from December 1941 to July 1942.28 missions are already done of over 40 missions.The Defense of Rangoon is done and is 26 missions and since you did the other bases I decided to do the others.

I continue to work away on this. So far I have extended to coastline North & West from the Irrawaddy Delta & have gotten as far as Ramree Island, placing ELS at Kyaukpyu & Sandoway. Land & waterclass additions are done, rivers & (a few) roads & tracks are completed.

I'm now drawing coastlines West past Akyab & heading towards the border near Cox's Bazaar.

Whilst G2K files compile I'm continuing to work on repaints & mods for Acwai's Hurricanes (as it's the only place you can start the war in a Hurricane & still be flying Hurricanes at the end:costumed-smiley-034)

Love that last screenshot, but I'm struggling trying to find a copy of it . . .

Any help please ?

:banghead:
 
Ro,

Its not uploaded yet.

I have several skinpacks for Acwai's Hurricanes ready to go, together with a set of airfile mods to depict aircraft fitted with a Vokes filter. 🎱

Just need to find time to test the airfile mods some more in mission profiles.

I can take off Stuart's Argus & transit to Malta (operation Hurry), no problem, so long as she's steaming at max speed :neglected:
 
Looks amazing Uncle Tgt; your river systems and villages look so natural and realistic. Thank you for all your efforts.
 
Thanks for the encouragement.

I know it's not photorealistic, but given CFS 2's age & limitations, the results can still take yor breath away on occasion.

When you work with Rhumba's mesh you can get close enough that visual landmarks & terrain features become recognisable & the immersion factor is greatly improved. Better than fighting for your life over cartoon scenery IMHO ...
 
As msfossey said thanks for all your efforts UncleTgt, and yeah, despite its age CFS2 can look really good.

I came across some info about the lighthouses around the Indian Ocean area.

I was surprised at how substantial some of them were.

Steve2112's generic lighthouse just wouldn't do them justice, so I opened up GMax & got to work...
