  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

What is it like Ian? Have you got any screenies to post please?

Cheers,

I downloaded it and when I went to do the install I directed it to install into a temporary folder but it still installed into their default directory. I had to manually move the files to a temp folder. When I opened the main folder there were several other folders. One for YWLM and one for YMND as well as effects folders and screenshot folders. Turned out to be a rather complicated install as everything had to be done manually.

RAAF Williamtown

How do I add Hornets to the scenery?
I believe any FS9 AI in FSX will upset the apple cart.
 
FS9 AI will work, but it will also stop any other AI you have from working. You need to download AI Flightplanner and use the convert ai feature in that to convert the fs9 bgl to fsx. It's a quick and easy process.

Wondering if there is an alternate website other than Flightsim to get this scenery package. Download is taking 3 hours, and I have a super fast internet connection. Mike :running:
 
Thanks

Thanks for the info.It still looks pretty difficult for someone who has never used that program before and I do not wish to upset what I have.
Reckon I will leave things as they are and just enjoy the scenery.
I spent my young days in the Australian Naval Fleet Air Arm and we visited Williamtown on many occasions.
 
RAAF Williamtown AI

After saying I would not....I did. I installed RAAF Hornets to RAAF Williamtown via AI Flightplanner but I obviously have no idea how to do that properly.
The scenery reverted back to the FS9 version with the flashing black lines and I lost AI East Coast Shipping. That was to be expected if an FS9 AI is installed into FSX.
After removing the Hornets and associated files, things are back to normal but I would have really liked to see movement at Williamtown.
 
Once you do one conversion, they all go about the same using AIFP3. Here is my converted for FSX traffic .bgl, you will need to change the .doc back to .bgl and save to your Scenery/World/scenery folder.

Thank you Victory103 ,I reckon I owe you a beer.
However, since we are unlikely to run into each other, I will have that beer for you. In fact, I might have two.
Once again, many thanks.
