    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.

Thank you Ryan!

Here are some more recent freeware airport addons I've really been enjoying as of late. A lot of the work that has gone into these is absolutely fantastic.

After a fashion. Canopy doesn't open of course but most things work. MSFS has a different wat of handling volumetric props so they will never be right on a legacy model that has them

Does it still use the fresnelramp methodology, Barry ? By viewing the default spinning props at certain angles it does kinda look like that ? ( possibly a matter of adjusting the fresnelramp texture ?.. )
 
Thanks! Now if I could just talk someone into updating some of the buildings around KGSO to something more lifelike, I'd be set!

Some screenshots from an early morning visit and flight around the excellent Land's End/St. Just freeware scenery I linked to in my previous post.











 


I'm especially awed at the detail in your jk8475 photo of the Dolemites. The others are impressive too. The jaked peaks are like no others I've seen in MSFS.


Are these photos of MSFS standard scenery or a separate scenery package?


I've looked up locations in Italy called the Dolmites and see rounded peaks nearly everywhere. I'd like to know if my graphics settings are at fault or if you found just the right location that show such near vertical pointed spires. How did you get to the location of jk8475 ?
