    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.

OK, we need a scenery made for this to test the concept in FSX/P3D:

The runway will need to be sloped inwards for the planes to stay on track. Who will rise to the challenge?

Its already been done and available at Simviation file ENDLESS RUNWAY CONCEPT V2 In FSX SCENERY by Soarfly if you want to give it a try.
 
All I can say is - pity the poor buggers who would use it with a howling wind of about 50kts your headwind, turns into a crosswind turns into a tailwind. Not to mention the stresses on the undercarriage doing a permanent ground loop at take off speeds.
 
That concept is a big bag of bollocks. That thing would be a safety hazard by all means.
If you really want an endlessly flexible runway, pave a circle with a 10000 ft diameter with an EMALS ring around it and figure out how to implement moving ILS equipment and flexible lighting to allow safe landings from all directions.
