New Bluegrass Airlines Web Site Layout

[Andrew Godden]

Don't be alarmed. The Bluegrass Airlines site has not been sabotaged.

As part of preparing to move the Bluegrass Airlines web site to a new server, we have taken the opportunity to give the 'old backyard' a bit of a top dressing.

The home page has been done and other pages will be done progressively to give the Bluegrass Airlines web site a consistent look and to update some of the images to FS9 and FSX. If you look closely, you might find and recognise some old FS98 or FS2000 images on some of the pages, maybe even older. The new layout will also be better for viewing on widescreen monitors, but it will still work on standard format monitors.

I have checked all the links and they are currently working. Please let me know if there are any problems. If you have any suggestions, this is your airline and your web site, so feel free to put them forward.

Cheers
Andrew

I am not alarmed. In fact I am delighted to see the the changes. You and Allan are doing a masterful job of keeping Bluegrass moving ahead.

Thanks for all of your efforts!

All I can say is GREAT! Looks wonderful, didn't recognize the site after coming back from our trip to Japan. Thought I was on the wrong site.

It took me a couple of times to accustom myself to the new layouts, but now I like the new look. It's still "Bluegrass", but with a flavor change. Nice.

Guys,

Thank you for the comments. I am mindful of how people can be with change, even the smallest amount. So I am trying to keep some familiarity with the old Home Page, at least. Hopefully, the new pages will also be clearer and easier to read and navigate around.

I finished the "new" Air Mail Division pages last night. I have continued to focus on the historical basis of the flight routes in the Division and updated some of the routes based on some new data I researched. As this historical focus is the basis of Bluegrass flights, it will be the common format with all the Divisions, and it also links in with the Feature of the Month articles on specific airlines.

The Divisions are the hardest to do because they reflect many different perspectives. Allan and I agreed the layout used for the Australian Division and that which has been improved upon for the GAAR, GAR GP, and GARSA sites is a good format to go forward with. The Air Mail Division pages being the latest iteration of this.

Some of the Division pages still have a FS98 / FS2000 flavour to them, so it's a good time to update them to an FS9 look, at least. The statistics I collect from the GAAR, GUKAR, GARSA etc, now indicate FSX as being the predominant MSFS in use. Now I have to get our skilled scenery designers and aircraft re-painter's on the task of creating some additional projects for FSX.

The Bush Pilot Division is in progress and should be completed in the next day or two.

Cheers
Andrew
