    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.

The idea came to me as an. . ."I should have thought of this a long time ago". . .epiphany, lol.

Since I did not keep the original FSX default textures when I installed Orbx, I've never been able to correctly alter the colors of the satellite imagery to match the default for those who don't use Orbx products. The image below is a suitable alternative though. I removed the imagery and the autogen, added a simple airport background and then set to work adding back parking lots, roads and autogen to get the necessities to make it look the way I wanted. I still have a few things to tweak, but if anyone is interested I can make this available in a few days.

Personally I like this. . .enough so that I'm staying with this rather than the version with the photoreal ground texture and hand placed autogen vegetation.

Looks like you might be the only recipient, lol. I thought there might be others, but maybe the Orbx and other payware product users far outweigh those who still run default, lol. Easy enough then, I'll just zip it up and send you a link via PM.
 
I like the photoreal version Ed. Fly in and out of here all the time.:encouragement:

Hi Ed,

Living just down the road in Plano, I'd sure be interested! I'm a regular visitor to your KSWI (and other N. Texas airfields). :encouragement:


Regards,
Michael
