    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.

Airport Reference Data

Hello All,

Real life obligations have made it very challenging to find time for flight simulation, and I frequently only have time for a couple of laps of touch and go's. To keeps things interesting and to minimize planning time, I created a spreadsheet with some of the more scenic and/or challenging airports found around the world. The goal was to be able to pick a plane, then quickly find an airport that matched the airframe's capabilities (or vice-versa) and have enough information to make a couple of ILS passes if the weather happened to be tricky. And every airport on the list has a payware alternative just in case a location appealing enough to merit regular visits.

I'm not sure if others might find it helpful, so I've attached the pdf for a quick print and the source excel sheet in case a new or different set of airports is desirable.

Best,
John

Thanks for sharing. That is a handy reference. I'm sure it could be added to also, but I already visit a lot of the airports in this list. The ILS frequency and heading is what I like the most. Usually I'm on approach in a jetliner somewhere and I have to use my phone to google the ILS frequency of the airport I'm about to land at. Not very good planning, I know.

Cheers,
 
Thank you for this. I normally don't use spreadsheets, but I downloaded and took a look at your list, and saw several that looked interesting! NC:encouragement:

@scotth6:Besides this handy list, other things you could open in a second window:

FS Tramp Free - mouse over the airport to get all info, including a fly-to heading. Without losing FSX audio.

Plan-G - similar info to FS Tramp Free, but you lose the audio from FSX.

Sky Vector - for airport and airway info.

No need to Google from your phone! :mixed-smiley-010:
 
Hey jschall.

Thanks very much for the info. I have often thought of setting up another monitor for map purposes, but my current desk is pretty cluttered, so I just have one monitor. I did have 3 set up before, to have a 3 screen, wide view, but that has been a while. I also only use full screen mode with sims, so the phone is just a handy "tiny" screen to check other info very occasionally.

Thanks again for your suggestions though.

Cheers,
 
@scotth6: With FSTramp Free, a small resizeable window opens over FSX, even full-screen. Once your Nav radio is tuned, you can dismiss the window. No need for a second screen.
