    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.

Hey, Hiede: :wiggle:

Didn't Talon do some work up in the Aleutians? I seem to remember him once mentioning how tricky cfs2 MB object placement was at those higher latitudes. :banghead:

Aloha Shadow,

I missed this post,sorry.Talon did 14 missions from the US side.Sopwith C did the planes for him.The problem wasn't placing the objects it was attacking them,it was all mountains in the area and the B-24 had problems attacking.On he other hand the PBY attacked fine,but you could slow it when it landed in the water and it crashed into the land.There were a few intercepts that worked fine.He did make a B-24 into a Glide Bomber and yes hey were used to do that,but it was used on a seaplane tender by an Island.He got bored I guess and there wasn't much interest.

Hiede

This is a 2nd collection of eye candy objects I made mainly in support of my reworking of the scenery for SW China's part of the CBI.

They are mostly single LOD models.

This pack includes:

Temples & Shrines (non-destructible) - A collection of generic gates, shrines & pagodas

Dali-Pagoda_sml_UT
Kunming_Pagoda_UT

SW China UT - A small collection of airstrips & G2K scenery for the SW corner of China.

SW China Scenery for CFS2 by UncleTgt

View attachment 173820

This is a reworking of the stock sceneries for the SW area of China. This is the sixth in a series of scenery releases, to expand & build on this area to cover more of the CBI theatre of operations. It is not a complete scenery set, as the area is simply too large & complex, but a collection of airfields used during the early part of the Burma Campaign in 1942. Some G2K scenery elements have been created around each...

Hiede,

I have Lashio & Namsang already done. Thinking about adding Meiktila, maybe small strips at Bhamo & Kengtung too, before releasing as a package.

I think the strip at Heho was a Jap construction after spring '42, so I'll leave that one out.

I'm currently working my way up the Irrawaddy from Prome to Magwe. I may then continue to Mandalay, depends on how long & complex the Magwe stretch takes.

I already have the G2K maps set up for the coastlines from Bassein to Ramree Island (no permanent air facilities in this section), Ramree to Akyab, & then Akyab to Chittagong... but each section probably takes a solid 8 weeks to do, so not anticipating finishing them any time soon!!!

I also have the G2K map sorted for the Tavoy area, but have parked it as I think there are more useful bits to do first 😀.

Thanks for the quick reply UT.Looks like the AVG missions can be redone with new scenery.

Thank you very much for this new scenery, John!
This afternoon I finally built my new CBI install with your Burma, Thailand and now China sceneries. They all look absolutely gorgeous! I first explored the area around Rangoon in a Buffalo (thanks for the updated version, looks great and flies much better than the original) and then around Kunming in a DC-3.
I had a great time, more flying to come tomorrow.
