    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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

RAF Banff/Dallachy scenery?

Good stuff !I read in one of the Banff books that it was build on a sloping elevated ridge and that very few sections of the airfield actually was level..

I have already made several 19 and 65 Sqn Mustang paints for their period at Peterhead, so they just need a home!
 
It's an unfortunate feature of the real world that nothing is ever flat... The Scottish Highlands, however, are particularly not! :)

For Banff, I've blended the aerodrome site in as best as I can with the surrounding scenery, which does unfortunately have the effect of "flattening" the immediate area around the Aerodrome Site itself. As I would like it to be usable with AI, however, this is an unavoidable compromise.

Once I've modelled a handful of 30' Nissen combinations, to go with all the Handcraft and 24' Nissens I've been battling with recently, I'll post some screenies on another thread.

Laddie, Banff is nae mair in the Highlands than the Midlands are in Wales. On a clear day ye can see the Highlands, but Banff is nae bumpier than Cornwall. They dinna build airfields on the side of a ben!
 
True, it's not the Highlands (but you can see them on the rare break in the rain!) - it is, however, about as flat as them. One of the few airfields I've ever tried to work on that actually needs contour lines drawn on the plans!

Apparently one corner of one of the taxiways was flat... :D
