  • 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.

A question: is this possible?

Ok, what I am wanting to do is not realistic, but I just wondered if it is possible. You know when you use Google to locate a address, and when you go closer in Satellite view, the street names appear on the streets themselves?

Well, I want to know if this type of "overlay" can be placed into this sims scenery? Reason I ask is that although the satellite imagery in this sim is awesome, the details become less clear when the view is closer.

If not possible, that's cool. Just a question. NC :encouragement:
 
Do you see the street names when using Bing Maps Like you see in Google Maps? I've never tried Bing. Just a thought since I have so few! :biggrin-new:

Yep, does the same thing. Just checked, AND Bing is way more up to date than Google. Google still shows my house from 6 years ago! NC
 
Chief, there are actually two sets of set imagery in Google. Look on the bottom right and find the little globe icon. When viewing the world as a globe, the imagery is older. In the case of a new stretch of interstate loop near me, the older stuff is a few years out of date. The newer stuff is still several months out, but at least it's newer.
 
Try the vfrmap which shows all the street names. I use it all the time I'm flying fs2020. You can display it in a window or separate monitor. Very useful. It can be found in Bomber_12th's post Free Scenery Fixes and Addons.
