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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

stoney- Had found mine @ Avsim though it's been some time ago,...
...the Megapack of skins containing it is presently found on page 2 in the Warbirds Library here after searching:
"Add-Ons Library/FS Add-Ons Library/FS 2004 Add-Ons/FS 2004 Skins/FS 2004 Civilian propeller skins",
then select: "Sort by/Hits (overall)"
The author of my set is listed as Gregory W. Hux, so thank you Gregory for this fine labor of love.
Your skins make me want to fly her better and better.

Darren- Good idea. Will watch the flic again and maybe try to re-create a scene or three. Pete dumping retardant on Ali's in-flight flaming engine was awesome.
stoney- Good deal, Sarge. Am a born & raised central Indiana Hoosier myself (Greenfield). Drove for the hound out of Naptown much of the 80s after the USAF.
Had missed this big monster a lot. Not any longer. She's been in service irl nearly as many trips around Sun as I. A nice PT-56 quad soundset (that I copy/pasted from another plane) lets lots of little shortcomings be overlooked. She flies right nice like...
You can trust your Czar to the Bear that wears the star...
...and for the first time in 36 years of flight sims I opened fire.
Smokey Bear was packing KH-55s. The collateral damage wasn't pretty.
It was smooth, scenic, and fun!

Let's land that Bear...
Slowing down while banking back to Rwy 30, KBFF. Turn left just before Chimney Rock.
X-ray vision would help here. Got a mite slow trying to keep the runway in view and centered.
No bounce. The wheels stay about 10" off the ground. The old model hopped and danced so this must be their solution.
She's a big pussycat though, lumbers aloft smoothly, a lot of fun to fly actually. Found her at the French site Rikoooo,
many good downloads available there. That Tupolev TU-154 may be the next download, many say it's a good one.

An awesome plane, Milton, still loving her a boatload..
The textures by Wim Regeer for the Fokker D.XVII were created using templates by our FS2004 forum moderator Huub Vink. Wim also designed the aircraft and did the flight dynamics. Flies like a dream, lands like a nightmare if you don't know what your doing (they had a knack for flipping over). Only 11 of these planes were built. Thought Huub might like to see how she looks in the virtual Nebraska panhandle nearing Sunset. She's among my favorite planes now to putter the Sandhills area...
Outside of landing this gal, no special skills are necessary.
Lining up for Rwy 12, KAIA, Alliance, smack in the middle of the Nebraska panhandle.
Would initially fly her to the runway, though now she's lowered softly.
Nice when you get the hang of it.

With the small Kestrel engine it was possible to build beautiful streamlined aircraft like for instance the Hawker Fury (1930). The Fokker D.XVII (1931) was also one of them. And like many of the aircraft from the same era, already outdated before WWII even started. Seven D.XVIIs were still in use with the flying school at Texel (Very nice scenery by Cees Donker) when the Germans invaded the Netherlands in 1940.
Although they were called back in operation service, their days were really over and they couldn't play any role of importance anymore.
It is nice to see you are still enjoying this little model. I love the animation of the landing gear and the VC is perhaps a bit simple, but it gives me the feeling of "sitting there". It lands a bit like a glider. Not much weight and a large wing surface.
Cheers,
Huub

Dunkirk...........
I like the movie. The purists have found their "missing rivets" to comment on, but I think it was very well made and the images were absolutely stunning.
Model WWII fighters Spitfire by A2A/Shockwave. Repaint by me (just for fun, will not be uploaded.)

Huub- Thanks for the additional history. She's a keeper in my FS2004. Says a lot, as I'm only at an even dozen planes in my hanger. Keeping it light and simple, nearly got everything wanted regarding planes and scenery.
rg- You're making some nice skins! Seeing how many liveries you've mentioned having, is there a repaint of this one perchance?: https://www.airlinkinternationalaviationcollege.edu.ph/facilities/our-airplanes
wombat- Go Big Red!
Nice skins for the big gal, fresh and clean. You do those?
Another flight lately, this time in a great model by Manfred Jahn (with custom animations by Hansjoerg Maegele and replacement VC textures by Marvin Carter). Flew her for dozens and dozens of hours in FSX years ago. Hopped right in, fastened my seatbelt, and flew with no "refresher course". Went great! All of the V-speeds are still embedded in my widdle bwain. Played with different visibility settings through the flight...

Sometimes the screenshots need no commentary... yet this seldom stops me.
For you Milton, an hour's flight in Switzerland this day in a favorite plane and skins, an hour well spent. Images were framed to help view the relative darkness of the Sundown shots...

boxcar - there certainly is, it's part of a pack of four HQ repaints. I found it on Flightsim.com search for a file named 'ys11ph10.zip' or click on the following download link:

enjoy!
