    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.

Airfields in WA and BC?

Stearman

SOH-CM-2023
Hi. Since FS2004 times with Emma Field and the Georender collection, WA and BC have always been my favourite flying scenery, specially the area between and around Seattle and Vancouver.

I love flying to/from small, local airfields in the area, so I'm interested in any available for MSFS.
So far I've got the payware Darrington Muni, Concrete, Orcas Island, Sekiu, Fall City, Bella Coola, and of course the recent, not so small, fantastic Renton by Drzewiecki. Also Friday Harbor and Stewart (both stock by Asobo) are frequently visited.

If you know of any other remarkable airfields in the area (free or payware), I'd much appreciate if you let me know.

Thanks in advance, best regards.
 
I live in WA so I have a ton of freeware and payware airports in both WA and BC (and some good Oregon ones too).

Drzeweicki Designs' KRNT Renton is the best airport I've seen in MSFS, period. Well worth the cost. Fly a small plane through the hangar and watch the animated 737 Max production line in action!

OrbX's Orcas, Fall City, and Tacoma Narrows are nice. (Fall City's pretty basic, but it's down the road from me!). I'd skip 1S2 Darrington from them.

I think my favorite freeware is Wookie042's San Juan Islands package. Tons of small to tiny strips around the San Juans, great sightseeing! https://flightsim.to/file/3349/san-juan-islands-washington

Paine Field is nice freeware, with a lot of detail missing from the stock airport. Still hoping Drzewiecki does a version, though, as their P3D version was great, and after their MSFS Renton I can only imagine how awesome a job they can do. https://flightsim.to/file/1136/paine-field-everett-wa-usa-kpae

I almost left out my own contribution! :) WA17 is a tiny farm field just outside Duvall, WA. It's a nice spot for challenging STOL landings/takeoffs, and for viewing the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley area. https://flightsim.to/file/219/wa17-majerle-stolport-enhancements-and-fixes
