    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.

Samscene3D Gibraltar Scenic Life

Stearman

SOH-CM-2023
Hi, in a moment when sadly (to me anyway) most commercial scenery developers seem only interested in creating airports and have abandoned landmarks packs and even photogrammetry scenery, this spectacular pack comes as a breath of refreshing air to me (even if it includes an airport, LOL!!).

I think it is little advertised (not even in their own website!!), and sold only throug MS Marketplace so far, so I thought someone might want to know.

Thanks Stearman, that is amazing. Next time I do MSFS this is a must. This video will hopefully inspire scenery makers to get to work.

I know it well - lovely place, and lovely people. I have SamScene3D's New York City Times, and it's clear they are very good at what they do. However, I shall wait for Gibraltar to appear outside the Marketplace before buying.
 
Runway cross-traffic control is apparently by the strobe switch in the Asobo A320. It do not appear that other aircraft are supported. Perhaps there is a modification?
 
"Instructions Traffic and people crossing the runway function: 1. Before landing or taking off, turning on the strobe light to stop the people and cars traffic running across the runway. 2. MSFS Marketplace version works with Airbus strobe lights only. Other version please purchase in the following vendors : samscene.com, simmarket, orbx, flightsim.to, contrail webshop, etc. https://samscene.com"

None of which have the scenery available yet...

Yep, even if only for their rendition of Queensboro Bridge, their NYC Times it's worth it. Also their Tokyo Landmarks Enhanced is a must have, if you know the place.

As a side note (sshhh, don't tell anybody) I will also wait for Gibraltar to appear outside the Marketplace ;)
 
Gibraltar GA version already available on Simmarket, working with most GA aircraft.

Apparently the Airbus version remains available through MS Marketplace only (!?)
 
I purchased the 'GA' version from Orbx. It might be the same version as the one on Marketplace. I can stop the people and traffic using the Asobo A320. I also had it working with their KingAir. Tried a few other aircraft and the cars kept driving across the runway.
