I have tried posting twice but it does not show up, Just want to know if it's worth bringing back the FREE FLIGHT SITE, all most all of ya'll will not even remember it. If this finally makes it to the forum, I will get into more detail
 
It made it to the Forum

Hello All,
Many years ago I ran The Free Flight Site, the other day while preparing a computer for donation, I ran across my old files for CFS1 and 2 and it purked my interest again. I still have most of my Panels, a few of my Planes and from what I can tell all of my Corsica and Italy 1941 for both CFS1 and 2, along with a few never released missions and a lot more. A lot more that would not take to long to spruce up a release. I come from the Martin, Willie, Ickie, Canelo, Brufford, RAF Diablo days so most if not all will not remember the Dave aka No Nice. I have all the utilities and a few newer that make CFS1 even better than 2 in my opinion.

Anyone think they would like to see the FREE FLIGHT SITE back on the net?

Please let me know

Dave dea14u@aol.com
 
OK, Lets Go For It

What the hell, this may be fun. Ya'll might even like some of my work. Give me a week to get it up and I guess we'll see ! Thanks for your replies.

Dave aka No Dice
 
Thanks for the input and support

I reregistered the IP yesterday and should be able to start running the site up this weekend.Still waiting for ATT to confirm the domain. Should be able to find it at THeFreeFilghtSite.com early next week.It will take a week ot two to get it back fully loaded, I have a ton of stuff to sort thru. If by chance any one is looking for something that may have disappeared from the net, just let me know I may still have it.

If you don't mind, No Dice, we will let you fill the shelves, pick what we need, then ask for more!:jump:

But if you have a CFS1 1% aircraft in the lot, this should be an interesting bird to look in.:kilroy:

Anyway, thanks for that Christmas gift!:santahat:
 
I think I like You Hubbabubba

No 1% sorry, but maybe something long lost or new to the old crowd, Running up parts of the site right now, just to get a representation. I had forgotten how much work it is to get everything sorted out.

1% Airfiles

I've got 1% airfiles. I downloaded them years ago to use but have not looked at them yet. I think I have them all. Which ones do you want to look at or should I upload them all?

(I'm still disgusted that I have lost the article about 1% DP files!)
 
years ago, when PJ Dunbar gave me
his Updated Stock Aircraft Textures,
the file included 1% files for Stock Aircraft.
I can't remember if DP files are included.

unfortunately, each is a self installer.
Hubba, I know how much you love self installers.

No Dice, these repaints are very nice
and I am sure that PJ would not mind
if you made them available on your site.
just give him credit where credit is due.

I especially like the FW 190 skin.
 
OK Smilo

I just downloaded the file and will have alook.

Dave C. I may have that 1% article, I am looking fot it.

So much to go threw and sort out.

As we say in French; À cheval donné, on ne regarde pas la bride.
(very loosely translated; You don't look at the harness when someone gives you a horse)
Pol was a master when it comes to paint jobs. I had the skins, but not the 1% aircraft.
Thanks smilo:ernae:.

No Dice; I think I like you too...:kilroy:... I hope it won't start the rumors' mill...
 
There is a better saying Hubba

Looks like I am going to get my missing scenery file
Your going to get your 1% and I hope to find the 1% article for Dave C.

down here in cajon country we say "Laissez les bon temps rouler"

Same here smilo, and all this time I thought it was my crummy PC:isadizzy:!
I'm looking for the 1% aircraft mainly for the DP files, but the AIR files are not without interest.
Dave Cumming; I thereby declare you to be Dave. No Dice; you will be No Dice.
All this to preserve my sanity... and yours.:173go1:

Yes Dave, the document you gave us with all these "as you can see on figure XYZ" is a bit frustrating. I'm all for saving space, but...:kilroy:

As for "self-install" progs, I've stated my case long ago but, to resume, its basically a question of having control. I once installed an aircraft that; 1- Created a spoofy CFS1 installation (mine does not follow the usual C:/program file/... you know the rest); 2- Added a shortcut to my desk (having hundred of a/c installed, imagine the desk!); 3- Added an entry in the program list (Word, OK, FS99, OK, Joe's Spit, NOT OK); 4- Wiped some of my gauges, replacing them with older ones (here went some of my glowing gauges). All that without offering alternatives or asking for permission.

At least, I didn't had to fight a trojan, worm, virus or other "delicacies", sometime embedded in the "self-installer maker" without its good faith user knowing it when he packed his files.

Well... enough ranting.
 
FOUND MY 1% FOLDER

Hubba,
Found a folder on my zip drive ( do people still use those? ) have the 1% for the stock CFS1 aircraft, do you need those?

I can email them

NoDice
 
that was weird, sorry.
I have no idea why or how the file got corrupted.
it was fine before I uploaded it.
so it goes.
 
No Problem, anybody else need em ?

Ivan, still learning the rules and how to get around this place, it has changed a lot over the years. I emailed them to you.

One thing I have learned, they really want to protect your identity around here, so don't be suprized if they edit your post. Thats a good thing!

Any one else need'm
