    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.

Maui missing terminal building?

After updating to WU13 I was hoping for a more detailed set of Hawaiian airports (the new Kona PHKO is nice). However, Maui (PHOG) is completely missing the terminal building - even a generic representation of it. The update has a top down image of the actual Maui terminal and floating jet bridges, but they're connected to nothing. Can anyone else confirm whether their update has a terminal building or not? If it's an oversight in the update, I'll probably just buy the payware version of the airport, but I'd like to know if it's a bug in my install or not.
Thanks
 
I think that airport has been like that for quite a while. Orbx has a nice PHOG from Northern Sky Studio (A Ukranian dev), that will fix those issues.

Thanks, I'm leaning towards picking that one up. Overall I love the update for Hawaii, but there are some glaring oversights.
 
The Northern Sky PHOG is a nice add-on. I fly the islands quite a bit and have most of the 3rd party airports from Northern Sky and South Oak.

Yep, I'm a big fan of flying around (and visiting IRL) and I can vouch for every payware add-on Hawaiian airport except for Hilo/PHTO, because JP did a nice freeware version so I didn't feel the need to spend $16.32 on an airport with middling reviews when I had a good freebie already.

PHOG is great payware, and there are a pair of free packages that combine to nicely fix up PHNL too. I list those, and all of the Hawaii addons I've verified are great in WU13, in this post.
 
Bought the payware PHOG version earlier today. It's very nice and I'm very impressed - well worth the ~$19.00 USD. Overall I'm loving the Hawaiian Islands from WU13. I spent quite some time there pre-Covid, and the ability to visit it virtually brings back a lot of good memories. I do wish that Asobo/MS would have spent a little more time adding more detail, but I guess that's where aftermarket addons can fill the gap.

Agreed. I love a good payware addon, but there are so many fantastic freeware products out there that it's really raised the bar for payware developers.
