    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.

SOH-CM-2025
Hi all

Although after my switch back from 2024 to 2020 I am generally very happy with the Sim I am still frustrated with some of the scenery replication in 2020. This doesn't seemed to have evolved at the same pace as other aspects. This is a flight I did to re-visit the quality of texturing in mountains and oh boy it is depressingly poor. This is the area around the LSMM Meiringen Air Base. The rock faces are blurred and the snow covered trees look FS9 quality. I'd be interested to know if others see the same as me 2020 and also (if we can cross-thread) if 2024 is doing a better job yet in this area.

It may just be slow loading. Unless you keep a manual cache of a given area, much of that terrain is streamed on demand. I know I've seen better on flights from Innsbruck to Sion.
 
Ensure the World Update for Swiss is installed...
The area around Meiringen is quite detailled, and the mesh becomes really impressive when flying low in the pass that goes to Grindenwald: every big boulder on the grass fields has a bump !
