    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.

FS2004 Screenshots Here!!!

One of the most well known landmarks of France

Le Mont St Michel. An abbey at the border of Brittany and Normandy in the Bay of Mt St Michel. It used to be surrounded by the sea during high tide, but the over the years the sea added so much sand that only with exceptional high water the abbey could be seen in the middle of the water. Recently a system of locks has been introduced, using the water from the river Couesnon to wash away the sand.

The abbey and the small town are build on an old volcano. The isle in the back is called Tombelaine and is an other old volcane. In the area you can find more particular hills, Mont-Dol and Lillemer, which were also volcanoes in the same ridge.

The scenery is done by Pascal Dumat and I still wonder how he was able to create the tides.....

The scenery by Pascal is still the best rendering of the Mont in my opinion.

Hi Huub, Great scenery & I've searched high & low for Mt St Michel scenery I came across this [FONT=&quot]Mont Saint Michel [/FONT]v2 but cannot find it
but
St. Michel scenery. Two separate files by Pascal Dumat, lfrf2005.zip for the airport ofGranville (N/A) and smichel2.zip (N/A) for the Mont St Michel. The latter—absent fromdefault FS2004 scenery—is included in the above-mentioned FRP2004, but in a roughFS98-style rendering. Here the results are instead very accurate and really astonishing.

Also, St Malo? I'd love to get that as well, as it's fairly close to Mont St Michel.

Any ideas?
 
Bit more St Malo

dropping into Granville (not sure if this is Pascal Dumats' scenery or one that came with the France VFR pack I have installed)

Huub has already covered the Mont and Pappy the citadel at St Malo in previous shots...

Pete,

Your version of Granville is definitely from France VFR. The version from Pascal Dumas is very simple. But its still nice to install as its main contribution is that it adds some sandy beaches to the coast of West Normandy.

Cheers,
Huub
