    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.

I've only started this half a dozen times now and something always happens that I trash it and go back to flying. This will not be a John Stinstrom style project where every building is reproduced. I no longer have access to the areas on-base like I used to and honestly, even if I did just the buildings bordering the flight line areas it would be more than I care to get into. Many of the buildings will be representative of the actual buildings and the ones I can get get reference material for I'll do custom buildings for those.

Mainly I just want something that is more like the base I spent 22 years at and the current default looks nothing like that. I have no time table. . .just whenever I get it done.
 
No matter how long it takes you, Ed, I know the end result will be enjoyable for everyone. I know how much it means to revisit bases I was stationed at. It is gratifying to have representations of all the bases I've been to during my career. Your creations are always appreciated! Have fun, and keep us updated:encouragement: Pete

That's awesome. That's General Dynamics (Now Lockheed Martin) on the airfield, correct?

That's correct. One advantage was that every week the Test Pilot would take one of the jets up and run it through it's paces. . .right over the rwy, so we always had a great show.
