    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.

New Richmond to St. Cloud

One of the only perks of the current COVID situation we're in is that I get three-day weekends now through my employer, so I've got an extra day in the week to do some virtual flying. With the weather being so nice, I made a flight in the DA40 from New Richmond, WI (one of the fantastic default airports) to St. Cloud, MN today, all strictly VFR. Along the way I dropped down and buzzed the Forest Lake airport, which is one of my favorite hangouts. It was neat seeing the many power line structures now in the sim since the latest update. It's awesome getting to use my real world VFR sectionals for navigating around Minnesota and Wisconsin in this sim.

"Dropping in" over the Forest Lake Airport, which I've spent a lot of time at with the XCub.



 
Nice pics. I think those powerlines are the first I've seen in the sim! Oddly enough, I haven't flown the DA40 yet. When I go Diamond I invariably end up in the Twinstar.
 
Brilliant pics - I can show some of them to my wife and she will trust me they are real fotos! :applause:
