    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.

Sometimes FS makes you go wow....

Hi Stuart. That was taken flying over France VFR's Reunion scenery, and it really is quite a stunning and immersive photoscenery that includes a high res mesh, autogen and an active volcano.

Very tempting indeed!
A Volcano in the Alps? Well...
Should I be 'wasting' any money on my 'ludicrous phantasies', then somebody else will blow her top much closer to home! (Not my words!)...:jump:

Stuart - it's Reunion Island, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean !! - which indeed does have an active volcano...

March 19, 2011. At approximately 12:15 PM, the USAF was contacted by the Department of Interior on behalf of Ranger Jones. That darn Yogi Bear had stolen another Picnic Basket and was last seen heading for this mountains of Jellystone National Park. The USAF scambled the only plane they had available....a Lockheed P-80 that is normally on display as a museum piece. There was no sighting of Yogi, Boo Boo or the picnic basket.

These are my first screen shots on my new system. I still need to tweak my config files for max performance and visuals. I had changed my settings, but for some reason I was having very slow mesh draws so I reverted back to what I was using on my old system.

Hi Obio - the mesh in my screen is the 38m US mesh by FSGenesis/Justim Tyme that was released as freeware some time ago, and is still available on Flightsim - I highly recommend downloading the whole lot. The screenshot was taken in early morning light which helps to emphasise the terrain shadow.
The scenery also uses Ultimate Terrain (if you ever treat yourself to a payware addon, that's the one I suggest) for accurate coast/shorelines and rivers/streams, and is topped off with GEPro.

Regards, A.

I have the FS Genesis freeware US mesh downloaded and installed....though I obviously don't have it activated for some reason. Will have to reactivate it and check the area out again.

Here's one I took while confirming that a scenery had been properly installed...what having an issue, but Crusader got me on the right path. In this instance, the scenery was the Alphasim Ice Stations pack and the plane is the freeware CORAL F-15 in the two tone blue on blue scheme. Nothing really too see...but those clouds sure do look incredible....thanks to the HDEv2 package. And the HDE Sun package as well.

Four more from my freeware based Modern Military install. IRIS freeware F-14, IRIS freeware T-45 Goshawk, Alphasim freeware F-105. Freeware FSGensis mesh, freeware sun, sky and clouds by Pablo Diaz (I think that's right...the HDE clouds guy), ground terrain is the Photoreal Vegetation by Gyula Kalcsó...available over on Simviation.com. Not too bad for freeware stuff! THe Hawaii mesh is by a member here on SOH...Meshman or something like that...it's in our library....look in the Making FS9 Look Great For Free thread up in the subforum....it's discussed in there by the author.

I have tried a few of the photo real skins...and didn't like them...but I HAVE to try Pablo's on the F-14. That thing long amazing!
