    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.

This began as a scenery I downloaded by JL Valladier. After looking over photos of the Island Airport I decided to make some adjustments and improvements (personal preference improvements actually). I removed everything pertaining to the airport itself and redid it, to include the parking ramp, runway (and markings), taxiway and the Terminal. He made Landclass and mesh adjustments that were required based on the default Island and those remain. I did remove all the buildings on the airport side of the Island as he used default buildings and I decided to build some that better matched the color and style of the actual homes there.

Just noted, that there is no taxiway in RL. Nosewind is always an option

There may be actually. . .this photo was taken last month and unless they intend to have the airplanes taxi off the runway at those turn offs and then wait for a tug to tow them back to the ramp. . .it appears that a taxiway is indeed in the offing. Also, this is a simulation so if I want a taxiway. . .lol

There are two ways of getting to SABA, one by Air (Winair Twin Otters fly daily from St Maarten) or by Ferry. Jets are not permitted. Yes it is an FSX scenery however this version is not for release as I would need the original authors permission. You can find his original scenery on flightsim.com (sabafsx.zip)
