hmmm This page is a place holder for your future web sitehttp://plain.rackshack.net/ Note: You may wish to bookmark these links before replacing the contents of this page If your site is enabled with Microsoft Frontpage, you may use it to replace or edit this page by connecting to this server by using the username and password that was supplied to you.? Make sure to open the RootWeb when you login.You may also wish to use other publishing tools to create your website, and in that case you will want to use a FTP client to transfer your web pages onto your web site.? Here is a simple and quick guide to getting your website up and running in no time!Create Content Publish your content Publicize your site 1. Create ContentThere are a variety of ways to create content. The easiest way is to use a Web content publishing tool such as Macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe's Fireworks or a variety of other free publishing tools that you can find on the internet.? Other tools that are helpful include graphical editing tools such as Paintshop Pro and even more dynamic content generators like Macromedia's Flash.? You may also wish to edit your contents yourself by using a text editor and learning HTML. Here are some pointers to learning HTMLWeb Monkey CNET Web Builder HTML Goodies Yale Web Style Guide W3C HTML Homepage 2. Publish your contentOnce you've finished your page/site, you'll need to upload it to your web server. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows a person to transfer files between two computers, generally connected via the Internet. You can either FTP your files via the command line (i.e. DOS), or you can find yourself an FTP client which executes all the commands in a drag-and-drop interface. I would highly recommend the latter to beginners and experts alike. FTP clients make the publishing process simple.FTP Basics?To FTP, you will need to know the host location (i.e. www.ensim.com), as well as your username and password. All your web site contents is stored in /var/www/html.How can a user Publish Contents on ApacheEach user is assigned a publicly accessible directory that is used to serve up their Web content. Once that is done, the user need only connect via FTP to their directory, place the HTML files in the public directory, and they are on their way!Creating a user directory is simple, under Linux (while logged in as the user needing the directory)cd ~mkdir public_htmlchmod 755 public_htmlIf you're logged in as root and need to create a user directory, the commands are almost the same, with the addition of an extra permission change:cd ~username (replace "username" with the actual user's account login name)mkdir public_htmlchmod 755 public_htmlchown username public_html (replace "username" with the actual login for the user)In either instance, there should now be a subdirectory named "public_html" within the user's home directory. All pages for that user should be published in that directory, and they need to name their base page "index.html".When a user needs to place files in their directory, they need only ftp to the Web server's address, being sure to login with their regular username and password. Then they can place all their Web content into the public_html directory for immediate viewing. If so desired, they can create subdirectories under public_html to help keep everything organized. This is great for those users who like to have an "images" subdirectory.To access a user's Website, you would use the url of the Webserver, followed by ~username. So if you had a user called "test" off "ensim.com", visitors would need to use the url of http://www.ensim.com/~test.Using an FTP ClientMost FTP clients have the same basic layout, functionality, and price. Choosing one is simply a matter of personal preference. Some of the more popular clients for Windows-based computers include WS_FTP, CuteFTP, and BulletProof FTP and for Macintosh computers include Fetch, and Interarchy. All clients come with documentation, and it shouldn't take you long to figure out how to get started. But here are a few basics: There will be some kind of "Site Manager" feature which will store all your FTP locations and their corresponding login information. Once you enter this info, the client will automatically log you in. There will be three screens. One representing your local machine, one representing the remote host, and one which shows the files that are queued for transfer. You will need to navigate to the correct folders on both your local machine and the host machine. You will then highlight the files you wish to upload on your local machine, and there should be a button at the top that queues the files for upload. The upload might execute immediately, or you might have to hit a "Go" button first. That's it! Your files are uploaded! You should now be able to go to your URL and view the page. 3. Publicize Your SiteSearch Engines and Internet CatalogsProbably the most common way to publicize your site and generate traffic is to submit it to search engines (i.e. Google) and internet catalogs (i.e. Yahoo!). Most of these sites have a form you can fill out to submit your site. To save yourself some time, you can try a service that submits your site to multiple search engines and internet catalogs by filling out just one form. There are many of these services out there, such as www.submit-it.com. By adding meta tags to your site, you can increase the relevancy of your pages in people's searches.Reciprocal LinksIf your page has a theme, seek out pages with similar themes and ask the webmaster to post a link to your site. In exchange, you promise to add a link to their site on yours. This is a great way to get the word out about your site for free.NewsgroupsLook for newsgroups where you think people who would be interested in your site might frequent. Post a message announcing your site and its features. Don't do this too often as it is sometimes considered Spamming (unsolicited advertising).Web RingsIf there are other pages that are similar to yours, there might be a web ring out there dedicated to your kind of site. To an internet search for "web ring" and include a keyword related to your site. If you join a web ring, you will need to add a web ring graphic and links to your page.AdvertisingIf you really want to give your site some exposure, you can create a banner ad and find a company that will get your banner put up on numerous pages. The cost generally depends on the amount of impressions (how many times it is seen) or click-throughs (how many times it is actually clicked on).

We are having a few problems with the server, it will be back up ASAP :). Sorry for the inconvenience.

ASAP: As soon as possible?Yipeee !!!Thanks for the news Ben.

Hey Posky guys, give us some good news. Are you uploading the new 767 and that produces the problem? ;)Leo

Back on line with no problem.Thanks Posky.RTH

Well its down again apparently and for a few days now.Anyone got any news?Cheers John

Take it all back; theyre now online. Apparently hackers got in to the site. These people need to ne stopped somehow; crazy what they are doing just for fun (warped minds I guess)

Just don't ever mistype the project opensky URL either. Some odd off short outfit has grabbed and registered mispellings of the URL, any one of which will result in a "DBD"--drive by download--of a trojan if you're running with Java Script enabled.-John

Dear Project OpenSky, Hello

 

I have been using Microsoft Flight Simulator since 1982 with Version 1.0 and have flown many payware and freeware aircraft. I must offer my most sincere accolades for the OpenSky 777-200LR Ceiba International Aircraft I recently downloaded from Simviation.  This is absolutely the best freeware aircraft I have ever used and flown. Truly the best-in-class aircraft in my hanger. I purchased 2 of the premium high end payware 777 aircraft, and the OpenSky 77-200LR is a fantastic aircraft with excellent graphics, realism, frame rate friendly, performance, and detail. The 77-200LR has a beautiful virtual cockpit and 2D cockpit and superb features and functions. Truly amazing.

 

I read all the readme.txt files and would like to know how to install the Honeywell FMC. Could you team please provide me the instructions to install the Honeywell FMC.I read to go to Views-Instrument Panel-FMC. Is that the correct method to install and use the Honeywell FMC?

 

Thank You and praise and appreciation to the entire Project OpenSky team for a fabulous Aircraft.

 

Sincerely,

 

paulwayne

You had to dredge up a 12 year old post to ask how to install the Honeywell FMC?  I hope Project

 

Opensky is still alive to answer!  Otherwise post a link to the aircraft you want it in and I'll show you

 

how it's done!

LOL can't believe this thread come up in my recent threads.  I posted here in 2004!!!

 

WOW lol
