    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.

Finnish sceneries updated and remade

Our sim community´s talented scenery designer Tatu Kantomaa has uploaded some nice Christmas presents to http://www.fsnordic.net/Files

A Landclass with a mesh, flight obstacles and beacons covering the whole country. Furthermore, enhanced Lapland scenery for some serious bush flying - remember to take your floatplane with you..

Also heavily updated EFRO Rovaniemi, which should arouse some interest also here as it is a Hornet´s nest with snow. Never enough military bases...
Other planes that fit the scenery nicely could be BAe Hawk, J35 Draken or nowadays any NATO aircraft as there has been a lot of international visitors.
 
Yes, I am sure about that. I was looking for more information to make up my mind if I would like d/l these files or not....
 
Is EFRO scenery easy to install, please?
...

Yes. It has an installer. You just have to join it to the library of FSX (or P3D). If you want install all packages (the whole Lappland and some things all over Finland) there comes a readme file with everyone (one was with an installer if I recall right). Just put them in this order in the library (shown on the following page): http://www.fsnordic.net/discussion/index.php/topic,114035.0.html .

Edit: If you want to get everything out of Tatu's EFRO install SODE. It comes also with the latest update of GSX. These sceneries should be compatible with Orbx sceneries. They are also compatible with Tatu's FinlandX, but don't install both (Orbx and FinlandX) because they don't play together.

Pekka
