    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.

I don't do much scenery any more, but I came across this little gem while puttering around some of my other East Coast Airports. Anyone recognize it? Oh, and just to be clear, yes I am going to move the two trees that are right at the end of the rwy.

That's a great scenery. I hope you will publish it. (The two trees are there as an incentive to avoid hitting the bridge!)
 
Honestly those two trees would make it really fun. Grab a Cub and put it in a forward slip once over the trees to get in, and do a short field take off or bank around the trees when departing the other way.

If we don't have Orbx and its nice enhancements, will the bridge structure still appear in the scenery? I know the foliage won't be the same.

If you're not using Orbx, you'll have a different ground texture beyond the area taken up by the airport. The autogen vegetation will stay as that is hand placed using the Annotator. The Bridge, boats, docks and so on will also remain as those were all placed as scenery objects.
 
In some recent photos of that airport, there is a large "42B" designator painted on the roof of the main building. That would be a nice touch, if possible. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of scenery design.

Yes, I have some good photos of the FBO and the 42B will be easy to work in.
