• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Announcing...

The Archive...

...is being strictly administered based on the wishes of the developers who make deposits and withdrawals.

The purpose is to preserve the work for posterity:

Scene 1 - John, boots his computer and watches his hard-drive gasp and die. John has no backup of his last three masterpiece source files. Oh, yeah, he can get them from the archive.

Scene 1A - John can change his mind and remove a source file from the archive, OR change his instructions on access.

Scene 2 - John gets tired of flightsims and moves on to greener pastures. No one can find John and all of his work is lost forever. Not so, he left copies and instructions in the archive.

Scene 3 - John passes away. His work is lost. No, he left copies in the archive.

Scene 4 - John gives the archive permission to give Jim one of his source files for a new update project. The archive sends the file to Jim.

Scene 5 - Tango dies suddenly while flying combat over Korea in CFS2. Backups go to predetermined successor.

Ok, now this makes sense and I understand the reason is not to enable piracy, but to preserve and even build upon established works.
 
Catalog Available...

The first edtion of the FlightSim Source File Catalog is now available as a 13-page PDF file using this link to view/download:
