    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.

Van Sant Airport is a Hit!

I posted a shot of the scenery on the Van Sant Airport Facebook page and it has been an overwhelming hit. The post has had almost 80 responses since it was uploaded 2 days ago and I've even had several who wanted to use it in FS9 (not possible) and one who is going to see if it can be converted to MSFS. This is the third airport scenery I have sent to the Airport Manager or posted on their site and had great responses (Old Rhinebeck and Plymouth Mun. are the others).

Glad they enjoyed it.
 
That's nice that they liked it and responded, Ed. I'm never quite sure what R/W pilots think of simming. I went to a nice smaller show last year at the Indy Executive (KTYQ) airport in Zionsville, IN. Great turnout for both participants and the public. I did go through one booth that had a nice simming set-up for folks to try; so I took that as an endorsement for that aspect of aviation.Speaking of KTYQ, there used to be a decent payware rendering of this airport for FSX, but it has disappeared from sale. I'll have to see if I have it on a memory stick somewhere. My son sometimes takes business flights out of that airport. Your Vant Sant is a winner, for sure.
 
That is great news Ed. I think the scenery is very nice and I've using Vansant almost exclusively since it was downloaded Great job and I'm happy to hear it is so popular. Maybe it can encourage you to do a couple of the nearby grass strips!!!

Thanks falcon - this is really nice. :encouragement:

I don't have the animated barbecue smoke like sidler shows in P3D forum. Also you have two xml files that show some paths that I don't have. Are these xml required.
Only thing I see animated is a guy that waves and is in front of a gray SUV.

The bbq smoke is tied to a specific effect and somewhere along the way I lost that effect apparently (fx_ChimneySmoke.fx).
Any xml files in the scenery folder are not needed for the scenery.
 
Looks awesome. I'm driving to New Jersey in about a month and while there I plan to take a trip over to Bucks County to see the airport first hand.
