  • 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.

Well, my main problem with WU22 is that they ruined the forests in the Cascades and the Olympics. The photogrammetry thinks it's Bryce Canyon or the Petrified Forest. Many of the trees have been turned into rock pillars. :mad:

Yikes.

The PNW is one of my favorite places to fly, so even though the mountains look great, the stone forests are killing it for me. I may uninstall the update until it gets fixed (if it gets fixed). It's too bad, because so much of this update is absolutely fantastic.
Killbilly, I have found this to be one of the best additions to MSFS 2024. SimMarket updates the Bijan Seasons often, so should you or anyone else purchase it, check back with SimMarket monthly for updates to match the seasons.

Could not find Cliff Palace using Google coordinates. Found the nearby roads but no Pueblo buildings. Was your pic an addon?
 
I don't think so (unless it's one I'm unaware of). It shows up as a marked POI for me. Now that I think about it, it could be from one of the World Updates for the US. I just assumed it was from the National Park update. I'll have to investigate when I'm home from work.
 
Thanks, Killbilly, for uncovering a big mystery. Some time ago I must have had the World Update 2. Then I was using it to see the Mackinac bridge. Later the bridge stopped appearing. Also when World update 22 was issued, I saw that Mount Rushmore Presidents were gone. What is really a problem is that when I go to the Market Place/World/World Update the only World updates that appear are 20, 21,19 and 22. World Update 2 is missing thus I don't see the Cliffs Palace, the Mack Bridge or the Rushmore presidents. The question remains why does WU Update 2 not show and are there others not showing?

Is FS2024 somehow denying me access to WU 2 for some unknown reason? Any ideas?

Look in "My Library" instead of the MP. Do a search for "World Update." If you had it in MSFS2020, or previously in 24, it should show up there and be available for you to enable.
 
I had checked Mylibrary and thru stupidity or my blind spots in my one good eye missed seeing the WU II.

WU II is in Mylibrary and shows 6 items that should be enabled and is not allowed to be deleted. None of the WU II POIs I checked appear in the sim.

This rates high on my list of things that does not work in FS2024 for me. Not worth the time and frustration to try to fix.

Thanks again Killbilly for your help.
