  • 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.

Is that all white repaint & model for the old Alphasim version or the current Virtavia version?

It's for the current Virtavia FSX version. This is just a quick and dirty repaint (no Unit / logo / font research involved), as I just wanted a simple white B-1B repaint to break up the monotony of all the grey B-1B paints / repaints that I currently have. I do not plan on taking it any further than this. Also, I like the looks of the graphics on this tail vs the real B-1B prototype rooster tail graphics. 99% of the work seen here is contained in the Virtavia paint kit. 1% is my work; hardly qualifies as a "repaint"......:pirate:

The converted native FSX model uses reflective glass and specular maps. The initial version (with stock low res paints) can be found on AVSIM: Search for "SAAB JA-37 / AJ-37 Viggen (FSX native)". Jens Ole and myself are now working on version 2.

That's kind. Got it, thank you and Godspeed for your upcoming projects :applause:
 
Here's One for Basil

One of the pilots of the original wartime "Nine-O-Nine", Basil Hackleman, passed away on February 26. He flew 30 combat missions with the 91st BG and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was close to the Collings Foundation guys, who operate a B-17 painted in the markings of the original "Nine-O-Nine".

Still in the paint shop. I keep finding things to improve upon.



Also decided to redo the stock White 13 so it will match a few other VF-17 birds in the paint hangar.
