    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.

Thanks for the heads up.
Will see how it blends (or conflicts) with the absolutely wonderful Washington DC scenery by Drzewiecki Design.
 
It doesn't seem to. I had thought about the same thing. Here are four screens, all use the new City Update: Northeastern United States and the wonderful Drzewiecki Design Washington, DC scenery.

Not just DC, but I took a flight around Buffalo. Nice, even the static trains are 3D. But the developers didn't go far enough out, the missed Highmark Stadium, home of the Bills, by a mile, no Photogrammetry.

WOW! Makes me wonder if I should remove the Washington DC scenery by Drzewiecki Design and test it out with the City Update only?

I've been considering the same thing, even if I guess we would lose the tenants of the White House, which Drzewiecki updates regularly when appropriate :unsure:
