    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.

Where do I find the Orbx FREEWARE downloads?

Hi,

It's most likely included with the latest freeware global airport pack. There is one for North and South America and one for Europe. They are updated regularly to include more freeware airports. These airports don't generally include custom buildings like the payware and other single freeware titles, but they are upgraded pretty well using ORBX libraries. I think some may have some custom buildings and even some PR, but generally they are just made over with ORBX library objects, including people flow. They are 200% better than default and well worth installing.

Search the freeware page for the global airport packs:

Installed... Leaving Homer for King Salmon and then the Aleutian run all in my beloved An-2... I could not find the forest for the trees ;)

EDIT: Sorry....disregard below, since you've already got it sorted out!

Hi Carl,
As Scott mentioned, King Salmon (PAKN) is contained in the North American freeware airport download from the following link. It's not a stand-alone airport, but it's bundled in with other freeware offerings in an .exe file. Just download and run the file and it'll self-install into your FSX.

Also, been a while since I did a fresh install of Orbx freeware, but I recall that you also need to install their freeware ORBX libraries as well. They're available from the following link.

Aye Mark- done- Ta!

Did update the library as well, but I run Orbx Central 2 weekly now (after the full move to 2).....

Best- C
