I found when designing KPLN Pellston for FSX and P3D V4.5 that they do not use concrete blocks to construct their segmented circle for the windsock but instead the more modern and cost effective approach I am sure is steel structural framing and aluminum sheet. I was fortunate to download the engineering drawing of its construction with specifications and sizes of materials and with the aid of Sketchup and its engineering toolbox to create it just like the real ones. The segmented circle is 100 foot in diameter per FAA regulations and the segments are eight foot in length and separate by 1/2 width spacing just again like FAA specs. It is freeware and you can use it in any of your airports. If you give me credit for design it would be appreciated but not necessary.

- 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.

Thank you for your support.
