    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.

Dead Link Freeware PW Sceneries Vol 5 - The Leeward Islands

I was reading about this great freeware scenery package called PW Sceneries Volume 5 - The Leeward Islands, I searched for the download link which I found here on SOH but the link is dead. Here is the post regarding the release of the scenery which contains the link to the website to download it:

https://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohfor...eneries-Volume-5-The-Leeward-Islands-RELEASED!

The site where the actual download link was at this site: www.fswaterconfigurator.com

I get this error message when I click on the download link:

This site can’t be reached​

Check if there is a typo in www.fswaterconfigurator.com.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Please, is there anywhere else I can download this scenery?

Thanks
 
I knew the fswaterconfigurator program and even still have it installed on my other laptop. Seems according to the wayback machine FSWaterConfigurator.com became strikingsoftware.com sometime in 2010. That site went off line in 2019 when the domain name expired.

Here is the good news for you. The wayback machine has all of the files in the download section of the site.

https://web.archive.org/web/20161015235825/http://www.strikingsoftware.com/downloads.shtml

To download the files right click on the button and select open in new tab. Then wait for it to redirect, it was setup to do some kind of counter. After a few seconds you will redirect to the actual file and it will download. You might need to use Firefox to download the files. That is what I tested it in. If it doesn't work in Edge or Chrome then use FF. Also key is do one download at a time. It seems the wayback machine doesn't like trying to hit more than one at a time.

This download page is from 2016 because in 2017 they added protection to stop webcrawlers from archiving the site. Those links and even the download page later in 2017 you can't get to.

I tested all of the files from the link above and they work.

Thank you so much for the information and the link! I really appreciate it.
 
Thanks from me as well.. I've just downloaded all the PW sceneries.
Would FSwaterconfigurator work with P3Dv4,5? I'm sure that the scenery should work.
