    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.

Hi Folks and I hope you are all well. Could anyone point me to a deserted or abandoned airfield scenery for FSX,payware or freeware and preferably California. Something like the fictional Jackson Army Air Base in the movie "Capricorn One"

Thanks all
 
Search the AVSIM Library...sorry SOH...enter the word "abandoned" and then look in FSX Scenery only...

Hawes Aerial Operations Facility is a reimagined version of an abandoned World War II auxiliary airstrip formerly known as Hawes AAF Aux #1. It was built in the mojave desert, just east of Edwards AFB (then Muroc AAF) during WWII as one of 4 satellite fields for Victorville AAF. After the war, Hawes as used as a private civilian airfield until it's closure in the early 1960's. It is now reborn in FSX as a UAV base by Nevada Systems. Due to it's location in the Mojave desert and the presence of many thermals in FSX, it was also used in production of the Aeroworks ARX-1 civilian glider concept. This scenery uses many custom macros as well as default macros from the Acceleration Expansion Pack, which is required for best performance. Scenery and custom macros by Joshua B. Nyhus and Jason L.

I've been creating a bunch around Pensacola FL, Navy fields from the 50's through the 60's.
But I haven't released them.... yet (still working on them).

Glad I could be of help.... :encouragement:
 
You could try "Hobbs USAAF Base" by Tako Kichi, found in our own FSX scenery library, a very well done period airfield, just remove the traffic file's and USAAF Vehicle bgls to give it an abandoned look :wavey:
