    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 couple of evenings ago, I flew into the stock KSPG. It was horribly rendered - especially for such an important airport. It's the home of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. So I started looking around. First on the .to map - nothing there. Then a Google search led me first to SimMarket, and a payware version from 2023 and a version # 2.4.1, but listed as "Inactive Product." Well... Back to Google, and a link to Ini's website. Same airport, same dev, this time advertised for both versions of the MS sim, but version 1.0.0 - so I guess only the dev knows what the real version number is. I took the drone up after spawning, and sadly, the entire race course is not replicated. In fact, some of the photogrammetry just outside the field is rough at best. But the race course features that are part of the field are there, including rumble strips around the turns and pit stall markings on pit lane. I didn't try to get any shots, since the ones on the product page are pretty much the same as what I saw. The price is decent for a medium sized GA/executive field with good exterior detail.

Purchase is available via the website or the Ini app, but install has to be via the app.
