FS2004 SDK trouble

[Guest Gigi Duru]

Hi,I had a nasty surprise earlier today: I can't any longer find FS2004 SDK on microsoft.com.Since the appearance of FSX, the FS2004 SDK was already difficult to find (I had to use "search") but now it seems worse: I get the search hits but then a "page not found".Was there any statement from Microsoft that the SDK is no longer supported (this would be strange, as they still sell the product)? Or is this some web site rearrangement?And, in the case the SDK no longer can be downloaded from Microsoft, are there any technical (and legal) alternatives?I am especially interested in the panel / gauge SDK (I can't be more precise, I should read first the published features on the SDK page that seems no longer to exist...)If anyone has (hopefully good) news, please reply.ThanksAndrei

Thanks Doug,What a relief to see these SDKs are not lost forever!I didn't know these were published on non-microsoft sites too but this comes VERY handy now. And I didn't know about the www.scenery.org site but I have it bookmarked now.Andrei

The links point to the actual files hosted on the Microsoft site...Should MS physically remove those files from their server, then they will indeed be "lost forever" (at least from MS directly)... :-bang
