Attention all CFS2-ers...

[bobhegf]

If someone will give me the location of the 1% files I will start down loading them .

 

[Allen]

The 1% aircraft are under the Author "1%" However it may be best if we could update the 1%s that still use the old stock AI models that have no VC at all or no working VC with The B24 Guys overhual models.

Kdriver,

Yeup, my thought was to have each user upload a few a day...it's one of those scenarios where we'll all kind of need to pull the line together. That's why I'm waiting to post any updates I've been working on until after we get everything transferred over.

========================
Rami:

In order to preclude duplication, possibly you should assign files created by users to be downloaded by selected users. For example;

"glh" should download all the warbird archive files under the name "Ickie", "B24GUY".
"Captain Kurt" to download all files by "1%", etc.

It does seem that some assigned order will be needed if I am understanding correctly what you are trying to do.

I bought a 500GB external USB 2.0 drive from Ebay and I hope it will arrive the next week. I will need to try it out and make sure it is working and then I would be willing to download/store/re-upload as needed. Never having UPLOADED a file to SOH, you will have to bear with me and maybe guide me somewhat.

 

[Allen]

You can check off The B24 Guys overhual aircraft. I'm working with him right now.

I'm simplify things by applying all of the updates/fixes that The B24 Guy has made. This will cut the number of needed downloads from 28 to 16 or only one download per overhaul aircraft. Excluding the OH B-24D that is already in the Warbirds Library. Also fix a number of them so they will work on Window 7 and some other bits.

Perhaps you could delete files from the Archive as they are uploaded so any unnecessary work is negated.

Kdriver,

1) Thank you for not uploading Lindsay's stuff.

2) There's no way to delete files or entries from the old archive, they are "frozen." That's why when you upload, you need to make a list.

I'm actually wondering if we really need some of MaskRider's older GSL packages, once we get everything uploaded. The packs from 2009/2009 have the older files included in them anyway and/or are superior to them.

I think this also applies to Xavier Berdague's 2006 East Asia scenery pack which supercedes all previous versions. Should I just upload that one and leave all the earlier ones in the old Archive?

Kdriver,

Unless someone strongly objects, I am strongly inclined to agree with you. I think it would be best to allow the old, non-GSL versions of MaskRider's scenery packs (except for the ones for which there are no replacements) to be left to wither on the vine. It will streamline the new library, reduce the number of files to sift through, and overall just make this much less confusing.

And yes, let's absolutely extend this to others, including Achim and Xavierb. That's precisely why I reorganized his airbase packages last year, if you recall.

 

[kdriver]

Also Achim's bases - are they all covered in the new Library?

Kdriver,

Yeup, see previous post. :salute:

It will take a bit more time, but I think doing this right and "sifting" through the downloads will be most beneficial, what about you?

You beat me to it Rami!

[kdriver]

Yes, I agree. However, I have just uploaded all of Ian Elliot's scenery and there are a few double versions of his airfields. Perhaps it may be worth contacting these authors, if possible, to see if they mind if we cull some of their work.

 

[kdriver]

Can my old naff uploads be deleted from the archives.

Hi Robert John,

Just let me know what you want and don't want to be uploaded to the new Library.

Thanks,
Kevin

Kdriver,

Since Ian Elliot is still an active member, I gave him a heads-up and put together a compilation package that has all his airfields for CFS2, except for the older versions which he did an update for. Unless he objects, I have a feeling it will be safe to discard those.

I see you have already started consolidating Cees's files - I would put the Hardwick and Linton Watch Office files in with the Buildings file. If you open the Building file you will see many more watch offices there as well. Note there are two versions of Hardwick aerodrome.

I left all Xavier's earlier scenery files behind in the Archive.

Going through the scenery archive there are lots of mesh files which I won't upload as Richard Ludowise's mesh supercedes all of them.

Kdriver,

Thank you for the feedback, I did. I also consolidated some of Xavierb's work. The Japan package has the MB fix and the fuji airfields, the scw airfield package includes the patch, and I consolidated the barrage balloons.

There's a "hidden" compartment in the archive for xavierb's work, and so I found it and uploaded cfs2barracks.zip and cfs2.hangars.zip

Can you upload mine to the new library except for Gmax gamepack, because it dont download any more, GSL Eiffel Tower, gsl_cfs2_towerbridge, London Landmarks, because these are my trainee files and they can be better.
My internet connection is slow.

Many thanks

Robert John

[kdriver]

Just confirming - only St Pauls Cathedral and the two Ford Island files are to be uploaded?

 

[Allen]

I just uploaded all of The B24 Guys overhauled aircraft after I consolidated things down. I already let The B24 Guy know I was going to consolidated things down by applying all past fixes/updates to each aircraft if needed.

If they could be put into The B24 Guys name it would be nice.
