+|1= Hi everybody our scenemodels database and web interface will move to a new host next week. Please expect some service outages, periods of read-only access or other unpleasant experiences starting Monday, Dec. 14th 2015 It's probably best, to check in everything by Sunday (today) and just keep away from scenemodels during next week. Keep your fingers crossed that everything works as expected and we should be online again soon. Terrascenery may have some serious hickups, too.

 By the end of this year (2015), the FlightGear Project's hosting for the [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/ scenemodels] database and website and the [[TerraSync]] repository will no longer be available. As a result, the FlightGear Project is searching for a replacement, even just a temporary one. The technical requirements are roughly these:
 * A [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL] database (with the [http://postgis.net/ PostGIS] extension) of approximately 40 GB, with capacity to expand (this is for the scenemodels database).
