    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.

Anybody tried World Terrain?

@scotth6: Thank you for those links.

I have now licensed World Terrain.

I have followed the setup adjustments to FSX, and WT is performing better.

One nice feature is the moving map with all the roads and landmarks labeled.
 
World Terrain in the South of France

World Terrain claims to have been based on Tile Proxy. I never tried Tile Proxy, but I must say WT works well and is very easy to set up.<br><br>The screenshot is in the French town of Bagnères de Luchon (LFCB). I just selected the airport, and WT found the tiles online and downloaded them into a FSX scenery folder. The tiles are built from Bing Maps images.<br><br>The WT panel on the right shows the Bing moving map with street and landmark labels.<br><br>There is an active thread with lots of tips and screenshots and videos here:<br><br>http://www.pilote-virtuel.com/viewtopic.php?id=81167<br><br><br>
