  • 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 Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Screenshots (FS2024)

I am not able to locate the MSFS 2024 Screenshots folder. According to everything I have read, it's supposedly in the MSFS 2024 directory, but not in my installation, at least. I have the Steam edition. NC
Heck, I can't find the screenshot button!
 
Those shots look photoreal. Much better resolution and detail than I am seeing in the sim and I've max'd the settings. Hmmmm

I found my graphics setting at Performance mode, and moved it to Quality. Seems to have improved distance sharpness a tad but not 100% clear on this. Flew some of the northern parts of the GC and found lovely detail throughout the canyons. Really quite amazing to fly with a bit of Tangerine Dream soundtrack in the background.
 
Jay, it was quite surprising to see how detailed KSYN is, by default - I haven't found any other non-stated default airport similar in nature yet. Someone on the dev team must have a great liking of that airport too.

Here are some shots of the FlyingIron P-38 in '2024.







 
Another MSFS 2020 portover, the Flight Replicas Spitfire(s), which, after updating the glass textures, also looks and functions very well in '2024. A while back, I replaced the soundset on this one and the iniBuilds P-40F with the superb Echo 19 Merlin soundset from the AH Hurricane, which makes me enjoy both of those aircraft even more.







 
Oh well, it looks like one of the "hand-crafted" airports: KCGX Chicago Meigs Field brought forward from SU # 11 (40th. Anniversary Edition) MSFS 2020 is under water.
I was testing out the Cirrus SR-22.

... and the go old, melted wax post-apocalypse Photogrammetry buildings!


I do like the splinter livery of the Cessna Corvalis
