    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.

Very good looking there Falcon. I think that I will have to begin lying out of more GA airports.

Yours look fantastic.

Thanks all, this will a be a slower developed airport. The restaurant set a high bar that requires that I pay as much attention to the rest of the airport. If anyone has photos of the main ramp and the hangars I could sure use those to get the realism cranked up a bit. I have done a lot of googling and unfortunately pilots are not as interested in getting shots of the hangars unless they happen to be behind their airplane, lol.

I have sent a request to the Airport Manager for any assistance he can provide and usually try to do so for most airports, but to be honest, aside from my local airports where I had free reign to take any photos I needed, I have never gotten any replies from my inquiries.

A few WIP shots:

As expected I got no reply from the Airport so the hangars, their appearance, height, etc was gleaned from images taken in another county on a rainy day and then posted by someone on a side road who claims "I was there", lol. Everything I know about the airport did come from pics taken some distance away. Only the Restaurant and the TML hangar had closer pics.

After looking closer at the satellite image, I realized that there are houses on the other side of the Pond that house airplanes as well. I made a taxiway and parking spot at one of those so that should make for an interesting taxi experience through the tree shrouded taxiway, lol.
 
It does indeed Ed, and it's not easy to make your vegetation match and blend with the surrounding scenery, but you have mastered that bit very well.

Btw, what's the type of tree you are using? It looks very much like the one I need for my current project and going through the autogen descriptions I still haven't found it.

Using the "Vegetation Groupings" Window, The "Groupings" Tab not the Regionalizations:

Chestnut 16-29m Mature
Chestnut 8-14m Young
Cottonwood 5-10m Young

The majority being Chestnut Trees.

Wish someone there had answered my e-mail Vin. I sent it to the Restaurant because I couldn't find a good e-mail to the Arpt. Manager. The girl at the Restaurant was nice enough to pass it on. . .that was a week ago and nothing ever came of it.

Just sent him a pic to see if he shows any interest. To be honest, I get the feeling that most operators lack any interest at all in Flight Simulation. With all the inquiries I've made over the years I've had two respond. . .one from Geneseo who said he'd get back to me and never did and one unsolicited comment from the Manager at Plymouth, NH (1P1). He was actually on SOH and PM'd me to say it was a perfect representation of his airport. So basically two responses from a batch of probably 150 or more inquiries. lol
 
Would Surprised if in his none interest in SIMMING...he has a great set up for instruction...I E-Mailed him .Told to expect an inquiry from you Shared this post and Pics hope this Jogs him Vin
