  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Hawaiian Airports Parts 1, 2, and 3 Freeware

I have all Orbx scenery, (Global Base, Vector, Open LC), REX textures (airport ground/water/sky/clouds) for this region with no issues that I'm aware of.
I do not have any Orbx freeware airports in FSX. I also do not have any mesh addons in FSX.
I have visited all of the airports in the package, which is all I have installed (manually). The effects and AI are part of these airports.
Perhaps some 'other' freeware which complements this package (Hawaii photoreal, mesh, etc.) may not play nice with Orbx ? - I have none in the Hawaii area, so don't know.
Also, ensure this Hawaii scenery is above everything Orbx in the scenery library order. :encouragement:

The dolphins over at Port Allen (PAK) are also great fun to watch, ..... and that's just the 'tip of the iceberg'.
 
Yes there is some conflicts with George Keogh's airports and ORBX freeware airport pack. You need to locate and disable 27 files. This is the way I do it, with a "disabled" folder inside the "FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS" folder:

Thanks for that vonstroheim. That looks to be a big help. :encouragement: :encouragement:

Currently adding fuel injection, GPS and a few other mods to my newest acquisition, then will be back and flying here.
