    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.

SOH-CM-2026
I am working on the final tweaks I made to the Eagle Field scenery addon that is part of the PT-17 Stearman conversion in the SOH downloads section.

I have added a satellite image ground texture (with seasonal textures), realigned the runway to match the actual runway, added cones to mark the runway, added the buildings that are the actual hangars and house for the real airfield at the end of runway 17. Added a dirt track to indicate the taxiways, darkened the interior of one of the open hangars to look more realistic, removed the original fenceline and substituted a fenceline from ADE. I removed the windsock and flag as they were both upside down. Added the default windsock.

Be advised that if you are using default ground textures this addition will not, in any way, match what you have for ground textures. This was built with Orbx Ground textures as my default and I have no way to color match the default FSX textures. My advice, should you decide to download this package, is to remove the "photo01.bgl". If you use ADE you can insert your own "airport background" if you wish.

This will be uploaded sometime this morning.

Well, my post did say I'd have it uploaded this morning, but I have decided not to release it. I ran into some oddities that aren't worth getting into so I've decided to use what I have for my own use and forego the problems that probably would have arisen once people started trying to make heads or tails of what they got. It's really not worth the headaches.
 
I would appreciate it if one of the Admins would close this thread. There's no reason for further discussions. Thanks!
