  • 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 we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Looks super, Ed ! :applause: As soon as I find them, I'll post a few actual photos of Tangier.

That'll be interesting. Maybe I should have come to you before I did the scenery, lol. Actually though, Google Earth Pro allowed me to go to street view and actually slew through Tangier Island, some of the textures I used were taken right from screenshots I took during my travels around the Island. If I had the patience, I could have done custom objects of just about every single building, as the street view afforded me that much in terms of up close and personal with the stores and houses. Just a note though. . .no way I would have done every building, lol

It's really great scenery. After I placed it at the top of my add-on P3D V4 went through a refresh cycle and then everything took on a more dramatic almost photo-like quality. I don't have much payware scenery installed but your KTGI is as good or better than anything I have.
Thanks again for doing it.

Glad it has worked out for you!

The cars were placed more to show that the Island was inhabited rather than an actual mode of travel. As far as I can tell, Golf Carts or Bicycles are how most folks get around there.

That is correct, the majority of the locals and all of the tourists get around the island on foot, on bicycle, or by golf cart. Even the motorized tours are based on golf cart type vehicles. There are some scooters/mopeds, pickup trucks used for delivery or service vehicles and fire and ems vehicles.
 
Great Job, Ed

Just activated your Tangiers V2. It's superb. I took a "human avatar" and walked the entire island. Heard the waves fine, but for some reason the sea gulls weren't as prevalent. They did eventually show up though. Not sure where your "sound speaker" is. Seems to be strongest on the taxiway sign by the runway. I really enjoyed walking on the beach, but so does one of your characters. He walks in place behind his boat. Doesn't go anywhere, but he's walking. I spent almost an hour just wandering around. It's very immersive. The model (or textures) are very realistic and believable. Thank you for a grand gift. I haven't used a plane on it yet, I find there are so many things to explore . I've enjoyed meandering around the boat yards, beach and commercial area. I think you've outdone yourself on this one. No issues except 12-20fps, but I have a low end system running boxed FSA-A. Great Job... Terry
 
I finally had the opportunity to try v2 as well. No issues except computer performance. It stuttered a bit and fps bounced up and down a lot. Not sure what's causing that, but I also have a low-end system.

simtech, thanks for the post and glad you enjoyed walking around the Island. The sounds have 3 points of origin, 1 near the boats on the trailers, 1 at the end of runway 02 (those are both "oceanwaves sounds") and the 3rd one is just below where the birds are near the parking ramp ("gull sounds").

Nice shot, however you have Orbx scenery interfering with my scenery. The couple standing there and the extra motor home are indications of that. You must go to your Orbx folder in your Sim folder (ORBX\FTX_GLOBAL\FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS). Inside the FTX_FTG_Airports folder get into the scenery folder and look for all files (3 total) related to KTGI. Delete those files and then restart your Sim. That will remove all the Orbx objects.
 
" Very Tropical "

I installed this scenery pack yesterday ........ and it left me speechless !
Lots to explore here,....... be it by land, air, or water.
