Updates of FS9 models by L'Iguane

Like some other users here, I love a lot of these updates, but there is sometimes a problem in that the base model is needed for the updates to work and that model can be difficult to find.

This situation is currently true for two of L'Iguane's model series. Recently, I discovered that the VPA Rafale website is no longer available - either from my own records or from the link on Frank Safranek's website. I also discovered that Ian Elliot uploaded two of the VPA models, which have now been recorded as uploads by Frank. BUT, the majority of the updates for this plane are for the C model, and tha recent uploads here only cover the B and M models.

The second problem relates to L'Iguane's recent anouncement that he is working on updates of the AlphaSim MiG-23. The base model is not currently available from any of the mainstream websites, and particularly not from the AlphaSim freeware website. My own copy of this file came from there, but the recent problems with that site seem to include the disappearance of this particular model.

Is it possible to make these base models available here ?

Although I am (thankfully) not affected myself, I think it's good to address this issue here.
I seem to recall that a solution was already found for the VPA Rafale here. However, I could be mistaken...

Yes, a solution was found for the VPA Rafale, but the action taken did not include the C model which is required for most of L'Iguane's updates . . .

Ah yes, I had missed that detail.

I have the AlphaSim MiG-23
PM me with an e-mail if you want it and I'll send it over.

Thanks for the offer, but I already have a copy of the MiG-23 base model which I got from the AlphaSim freeware site a long time ago . . .

My concern is for other users who may not have it.

Not a day goes by wherein someone will upload an Update for a model that is no longer available to the masses.
