Thank You !

The Avsim Library Staff want to thank each and every author and uploader for all the recent help in recovering files lost during the HACK. Over one thousand files have been recovered. We originally asked for the most recent files but our members uploaded those and many older yet still important files. We will no longer be asking for re-uploads. The library is nearly like it was with some newer files added . Flightsimmers are the best and specifically Avsim members who truly are the elite. None of this could not have been done without the expertise of our techies Brian and John so a tip of the glass to them as well.
