    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Instant Scenery - Dicontinued

I and others have been having some issues with the latest version (update) of Instant Scenery 3. I needed to reinstall it and have not been able to get the package verified despite numerous attempts via Flight 1 to do so, during this process I found a message-note on the web page saying that the product had been discontinued.

This is a shame as I actually found the program quite good and a neat way to add to scenery with going down the Airport Design route.

Other than Object Placement in FSX via the SDK anybody have any recommendations for something similar?
 
The only version that has been discontinued is the "original" Instant Scenery and only because it has progressed to Version 3 with compatibility for both FSX and P3D (they no longer support the original because it is outdated). The current version (V3) is alive and well.

NOTE: I went to Flight1, selected "Scenery" from the main page and scrolled about halfway down the page to find "Instant Scenery 3" . . . .with no such message. I believe you'll find that you were looking at the original "Instant Scenery".

Click on this link, post your question and get help here, Flight1 won't be much help. You may have to register first in order to post.

If it is an installer issue, which can be problematic with Fight 1 products, you can submit a ticked with support. I had a problem with Flight 1 installers on a few items and they helped me resolve the problem by issuing a new password.

Is this a P3D or FSX issue?
 
Thanks guys, very helpful. (It was a FSX issue). I will go the ticket route and see how it goes.

I recently had been building scenery files for civil and military flying boat bases in the Australia Pacific region and having done Australia, New Zealand and some islands in the Pacific lost the files due to a critical motherboard incident which required a complete rebuild of the hard drive from scratch (Its a HP bug or defect) in the process I forgot to back up those files only (as usual) so had to start again so not having Instant Scenery would have been a significant pain the <>?@#.

Good news then off I go and again to all who responded, thanks a lot.
