Are you done? you can come down off the cross now. ******* might need it on His next visit.

It's still America and last I heard we still do have freedom of speech. As I said, there has only been ONE file out of the many that I've tried that I have been successful in downloading. Sorry if the world just isn't perfect all the time. I wish it were . otherwise. Just move on to the next post if the truth disturbs you.

Why don't you guys just close up the 'file download' section of this site? It's pretty useless. I know you had a major crash and you keep saying you're back up but there hasn't been ONE file that I was able to download. They all give the 'one of our files is missing' message. Today I tried to get the Auckland v2.35 and got the same thing. Why bother? If you can't fix it just say so.

How difficult is it to add a recognizable weather station that Active Sky can recognize?I've got Antarctica airports but FS9 can't pick up weather accurately thereThanks for help.

There is a site that Iused to have in my favorites that showed archived timetables from the past for Braniif, National, Pan Am, Eastern, etc but can't find it now to save my neck. I can find sites that show images of the outer cover of the old timetables, but not the schedules themselves. I'm primarily looking for National Airlines and Eastern Airlines of the 70's and 80's. Anyone know which site I'm talking about?Thanks

does it matter in what order runways are listed in the runway list in AFCAD? I thought I had read once where those listed closest to the bottom of the list get the most traffic? I've only noticed a difference at HECA where the "5" runways didn't get as much attention as 16/34. when i reversed the order and put the 5l/r at the bottom, then they got traffic. never noticed that before.

Hi, I'm trying to edit the SCEL2005 AFCAD using AFX so I can add more concrete area, taxiways, etc but when I go back into the scenery, none of my changes show up. Looks fine in AFX but no changes in the scenery. Never ran into that before. Can the AFCAD be 'protected'? If so, how do I get around it?Thanks,

Hi, to complete my AI cargo collection, I'm looking for an American Airlines freighter. I see screen shots from time to time that have them but can't seem to find them. Any idea? Also would like a United Airlines cargo AI besides the DC-10 model I currently have. I know these airlines must have some cargo planes. Thanks for any help.

Looks like the time zones are still not completely accurate. I have the newest FSRT 1.88 and I'm showing Africa is off by 1 hr (Casablanca and Dakar, at least) Other areas are correct. I guess with different times of the year they may be correct and then off at other times. It's never been totally accurate but I guess I lot more so than the stock FS9.

I know there were major problems with the site for a while, but now it's been a LONG while and haven't been able to get into the file library for quite sometime. The last message I saw was that it had mostly been restored, and that was a couple of weeks ago. I've had to turn my attention to 'flightsim.com' which isn't my preference but at least it works. Should we just not count on the AVSIM file library anymore?

Someone asked me why I was still using the FSP Airbusses instead of the Fruit Stand models. Is TFS that much better? I can change them but would require some work. The FSP Airbus flight models aren't perfect but most of what I notice with them is they land really fast and when they take off, they go up at a very steep angle for some while before leveling out. I don't want to go messing with FDE's as I'm not that experienced with it. Are Fruit Stand models a better choice? thanks

I stand corrected. I did know about "Fruit Stand" aircraft but never really checked into them. I just figured they were a competitor to the FSP's. Are the TFS models that much better? They're certainly nice visually.

mmmm, well I've been using them for some time and didn't know about TFS until very recently. I would have to do a lot of changes in my AI library and AITM but if you think it's worth it.....

Yes, very interesting. What this tells me is that I should be very careful tinkering with air files. The only real issue that I notice is the FSP A330 family lands very fast and on take off, climbs at a very steep angle til about 4,000 ft, then levels out more realistically. Sounds like a lot of things would need to be changed to correct this so I may do well to just leave it. I might want to stop using AI Smooth. I'll have more go-arounds (some of my airports are VERY busy) but the aircraft behave more naturally.

OK, I figured out how to change the figures but there are 2 lines that give the value 0.09. Do I change both of them? the value shows on line 2 and line 3Thanks
