  • 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.

RAF Lakenheath on Marketplace

Hi Zsolt I haven't looked at the Marketplace yet today.

However, the remaining EGUL file on .to seems to have been renamed and has a different creator title to that before.

If Ian has decided to convert his masterpiece to pay-ware then good on him I say !!

Like you though, if it is his model it would be interesting to know whether it has been upgraded from the freeware that we all have currently.
 
Payware vs freeware version:
- New ground textures and ground poly
- Updated and improved night lighting
- Added some new models and objects
- Added much more clutter around the base
- Requires the UK world update for the terrain mesh


Future updates will include:
- Adding the F-35's, buildings and shelters once they are complete and sufficient resources are available
- Updating and optimizing all current objects in preparation for nearby Mildenhall which I will be developing next year
- Making a custom runway approach lighting system
 
The difference to the freeware version is he is being bound to solve all users issues now, furthermore he is being forced to react to all MSFS or any other system updates to have a still running scenery. Not as complicated as aircraft, but if you handle animated parts or something, you will have to have always an eye on your addon.
I have great regard for Ian and I am really looking forward to his next projects. He has so much talent that I am sure there will be lots of great military scenery addons at last for this military sterile MSFS.
Hope he can deal with this new challenges!
 
Just purchased a copy. It is good to see a military airfield in the sim.

I have noticed though that none of the aircraft are armed. I assume that this is a Microsoft requirement for sale on the marketplace.

Ah, okay. And how do they advertise the air base? "A nice place for sight seeing?" "Come and enjoy the first non-real military air base?"

Microsoft praises itself to simulate the real world, but they don't.
Military aircraft - armed military aircraft - are also part of the real world!
Sorry, but as long as they refuse to represent the real real world, I stay with P3D.
There I already have a fantastic Lakenheath with fantastic AI aircraft in an almost fantastic real world.

I really hope MS will not prevent serious developer from actualizing the true aircraft which are based at EGUL and the original aircraft can be removed...

I agree :ernaehrung004:
Anyway, fortunately we still have the free MSFS version

Not much wrong with that scenery... just needs a few Tornados about the place.
Beautiful paint, Zsolt.
 
And a few F-35's when they are ready! :applause:

I purchased it to support Ian for his work. I kicked his freeware version to the curb.
