    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.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2020 - Scenery

Description: This is my first project for MSFS 2020. When I purchased the sim/game, I was appalled at the lack of ant buildings or hangers at KDAN, Danville (VA) Regional Airport. It seems Blackshark did well with surrounding smaller airports like Tuck, Blue Ridge, and Shiloe, but totally ignored Danville. So with the fine assistance of the tutorials by Flying Theston on YouTube, I set about using the generic hangers and structures in MSFS and build a scenery that properly represent KDAN. I highly advise anyone else wanting to learn how to do scenery texture to go to YouTube and subscribe to Flying Theston's tutorial, they are wonderful. Thank you very much sir, without your tuts, I would have never done this.

The scenery contains all of the basic tower, hangers, and terminal, fencing around the base perimeter. I also added a flag in its proper location and two fire trucks to denote the local fire station at the airport. I am going to have to exclude the default beacon light, as it is in an improper location and replace it in the correct spot. I am also studying Theston's tut on emissive lighting at dark and will add that to some of the structures. I also plan on adding some outside flood light where proper. So this will be a work in progress. This is a very small file, no textures, only .blg files.

Note this issue: It is unfortunate that the proper location for the Averett University flight school and hanger takes up many of the parking ramps in the sim and at times one may see one to two aircraft on top of the hanger due to Blackshark's AI. I tried to exclude then using the Rectangle Polygon to no avail. So any help any of you professions have, I am all ears and eyes. When no AI aircraft are on the ground in those designated parking areas, there is no issue.

I hope this helps those living around my demographic who wish to fly into KDAN will enjoy your flight.

Installation: Simply open the .zip and move the cazdesign-kdanscenery folder to your MSFS 2020 Community folder.

As I update, I shall also reload the updates here.

Hey Bud I live very close to KDAN, thought the same as I checked it out in MSFS2020, lot of memories here watching Piedmont Airlines come and go with FH-227's & YS-11's in the 70's, good work, look forward to updates
