    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.

Burning Blue's Enhanced Global Vegetation

Enhanced Global Vegetation has been updated to version 1.6.0



Fixed bare terrain in NW Canada and Alaska (CBH4, CFS4), Siberia and Kamchatka. Valleys now have open woodland, giving way to tundra with height
Added a larch belt to the Alps with a natural treeline
Reduced forest density in Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. Giant sequoias are now rare and kept to their real altitude band
Fixed Riviera and Mediterranean towns (Cannes, Nice, Lisbon, LA) being planted like desert towns
Fuller street trees in tropical and desert cities (Singapore, Phoenix, Dubai), plus Po Valley, Balkan, New England and Nordic towns
Fewer but larger town trees in the densest cities (London, Milan, NYC, Tokyo and more) to ease frame rates
Split France into three regions: maritime pine in the Landes, beech and spruce in the east, oak, pine and cypress in Provence
New forests for the Pyrenees, Balkans, Po Valley, northern Spain, Azores, Corsica, Crete and Cyprus
Fixed the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Moab rendering as bare prairie. Now pinyon-juniper woodland with ponderosa higher up
More variety in Australia, New Zealand, Florida, the Caribbean and the Pacific Northwest
Fuller woodland in African miombo and thickets, California chaparral and Argentina's Espinal
Fixed trees reaching too high on Teide, in Scandinavia and the Urals
Crops now match the climate worldwide (no more wheat in the Amazon or corn in the tundra)
Stronger spring blossom, a proper sakura season in Japan and copper autumn beech
Richer forest floors, and ground plants that dry out in summer
Riverside woods and windbreaks on the tallgrass prairie, plus a light scattering of planted trees
 
I have ORBX Global Trees, which is good when it works, but I had several problems in SE Asia with it. Where I fly mostly. Anyone here who flies in Laos or Thailand?
I am inclined to switch. Every time FS is updated I have vegetation anomalies like wrong biomes for the place I am.

Cheers,
Mark
