Shackleton for FsX - Now released!

Smashing Time, kindly explain which crap you are referring to, the model or the fact you have problems downloading it.

Lots of people have problems downloading it, took me 7 attempts.
 
I'm gonna ask you guys one time to keep it civil. I realize it's a frustrating thing, but it's not something anyone here is going to be able to do anything about.
 
The implication in my reply was not meant to be that you were not civil at this time, but I see a potential negative trend in the recent posts. I'm just trying to keep the discussion from going downhill from this point, thus allowing the thread to remain.
 
Yeah, it's been frustrating to the user base and of course those kind folks at Britsim who've brought us these lovely classic models. Sad thing they, the Britsim folks seem to be getting a raw deal from a service/server they are paying good money to but as explained, hopefully that shall be rectified soon when they switch servers. Outstanding job on the mighty Shackleton. The plane has long intrigued me as a throwback to an earlier but often better age of mechanical artistry & magnificence hence drawn into serving with distinction into and through many later eras of aviation. What a beauty!

:salute::applause:
 
Got it at least and love it - thanks to all who made this gem available.
It's worth every single DL attempt! (took me a lot of them).
However, at that unbeatable price I will not moan about any problems compared to what I get.

After reading this thread I see a lot of frustration which, makes people react in a different way than they normally do.

From what I have heard and seen the model obviously is very nice. So probably worth the wait.

The designer who is the intellectual owner of the model, has chosen to make his models only available via Britsim. That is his own choice and he definitely has the right to chose where he makes his models available.

Britsim is currently experiencing difficulties to make the the model available to all those who want it.

I want to be very clear it serves no purpose to shout here that the designer should have made a different choice. And it does not make any sense to criticize Britsim, about the way they run they site!

It is a free model, respect it as precious gift. Britsim makes it available as a free service. Respect this and consider it as a helping hand from a good friend.

Don't bring your frustration about the fact that you can't download it in a first, second or tenth attempt to this forum! It serves no purpose and just leads to more frustration.

This thread is just to announce a new release and not to vent your frustration about the fact you have difficulties to download it!

If some of you keep behaving as spoiled children, I might be forced to close this thread or even take further actions.

Or I will.
Now play nice.

All frustrations are quickly forgotten once you start flying this aircraft, as it really is a great model! Sounds are excellent too! :applause:

Fantastic work---thank you very much for this outstanding aircraft!
One question,is ist possible to set the view point a notch back?
Even with zoom set to 0.30 i feel to be too near to the panel.

Great Screenies! I downloaded the sound set yesterday - oh WOW. Crank up the volume and turn up the subwoofer. The whole house vibrated.
 
Hi DVJ, this aircraft looks incredible. I have been trying to download it from britsim but not been able to successfully since yesterday. I was simply wondering how you were able to download it, perhaps i could also give it a try?
Thanks,
Sid
 
Ferry, what does a Shackelton search in the "Waddenzee"? The water is so shallow there you can barely wet your feet! Beautiful shots however ;)

Cheers,
Huub

Have you tried the alternate download link in the Britsim Forum?
That's how I got mine.

It's looking for (Or should I say at?) the best looking water I've seen in FsX!
