    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.

Default Airport Buildings

Mildenhall was one of my favourite airshow destinations, well organised unfortunately no longer run due to security risks. Likewise Waddington airshows are no more.
 
Pocklington

Dave, here are a few shots of Pocklington, as well as a couple of nearby airfields, Melbourne and Full Sutton.









 
Yep - I was afraid of this... At both KABI (Abilene Regional) and DAFB itself, several of the important buildings and hangars are just rooftops painted on the ground.
 
Thanks for posting Humberside and Sandtoft. Sandtoft almost looks like a photograph, the buildings are not right but it's a very small airfield out in the sticks and it is a better representation than the default FSX version. You can see the old layout of the original airfield.
Most take off and landings are on RWY23, Fsx always started you at the wrong end of the runway.
 
Thank you for doing all that flying and picture-taking of the air bases, John. That must have taken a lot of time. Some of those are very nice indeed, and the best thing is, they don't all look the same.
