    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.

Latest Update Elevation Issues?

Anyone else having elevation issues after the latest updates? I took note that when I flew into two different airports (one an addon, the other stock) that I saw odd visual anomalies appear right at touchdown and the runway had very uneven surfaces and negative interaction with the contact points of the gear. One of these instances triggered a crash detection. Anyone else? I have read it's been reported to Asobo.
 
There are issues like that all over. KGSO (my home field) is nearly useless around the FedEx end. The runways are good, but the cargo ramp and one taxiway are both no-go zones.

Tom, I use GSO a good bit as well since IRL, it is my home base away from ILM when I have flown GA aircraft up there and back to here many times. I am running the addon payware GSO scenery sold on Simmarket which also makes scenery for ILM and AVL. I haven't had any issues here at ILM but as I flew to and landed the PMDG DC-6 into runway 5R at GSO, I had a crash just past the intersection which had not happened before. I guess this is the one negative thing Asobo has going on the attempt to have actual ground level deviations at airports rather than their all being flat. Obviously this needs more work to fix said issues.

BTW, I may have mentioned it before, I am originally from the Triad having been born in Thomasville in '66 and my folks were born in High Point. Still have a lot of family in the area (and we still have our old farm out west of High Point off West Lexington Ave). Been here on the coast since I was a year old being a "converted flatlander" ever since! lol
 
I never knew there was any scenery for Greensboro! :jump: I just got done checking it out, and I'll probably get it after I get a paycheck coming in again. The only thing I didn't see in the publicity stills was anything related to HondaJet. I wonder if they didn't want to cooperate and allow their name to be used.

Edit: I looked again, and the HondaJet factory is there. This will be a must-buy once I get working again!

I had a few major elevation issues (particularly when landing at large airports in photogrammetry cities) right after the Nordic update, but haven't had had any problems the last few days. I just figured it was due to all the network traffic.
