Good morning,

I have received word from God himself that we can commence restoring the CFS2 download section at once. Ickie said that we can upload files to the new library to replace those which are unavailable.

For whatever reason, even though the files are there on the server, there is not much that can be done to fix the links, so we can get fixing this ourselves. I know this is not the perfect solution, but it can be something between all of us that can be accomplished.

So, here's how I would like to see this done. I have attached an attachment that lists all of the files missing in the CFS2 download section. This is a spreadsheet in Excel 2003 and 2007 format.

For those who have backups, you may begin uploading them to the NEW CFS2 library in their appropriate section. I will also speak with the Admins about perhaps making more categories for the new download section, so we'll have to see about that.

When you upload something, PLEASE make a post in this thread indicating what file you uploaded so it can be taken off the list.

So for those who have backups of their own missing files, feel free to upload at any time.

Thanks,
 
THANK YOU RAMI

The SOH CFS2 membership has been patiently waiting for 2 years for this; it's very pleasing to hear that this problem is finally being resolved.

Many Thanks to you Sir, for your diligence. :salute: :medals::medals::medals: :salute:

I have an enormous database (40GB) downloaded from SOH over the past five years and I would be more than happy to help you replace any of the missing or corrupt downloads. Especially the ones from the authors whom are no longer present at SOH or who have lost the originals over that time. I have your list and will begin looking for what you need.


- upon the next election .... you've got my vote for "King"

Yo Rami;

Just checked your list and I have many of them.


ALL MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE:

Please do not upload anything by Tango_Romeo (Tom Sanford) to SOH.
All of these uploads were removed by request after his departure.

They are now available at Simviation

Hey,

For all those designers who wish to re-up their own files (Revev, Sopwith, RobH, PSully, Morton, etc...) and want to "touch up" their original designs before uploading, they may feel free to do so.
 
Well, I guess when it's all done, we will be able to say we took care of this problem ourselves. Thanks, Rami, for suggesting this to the big boys. At least we have the list of broken links done, that's a good start. It will feel good, knowing that an item is going to be there when you need it. :ernae:

Good morning,

It's been nearly 24 hours since we got the okay to restore the library. How many files have been uploaded?

0

Very disappointing...
 
I have been working for days and I have not been able to really participate. I have more than a few Items from Sim-Outhouse that I do not mind uploading.:salute:

Sorry Rami. I am usually the last to get started in something such as this. All my old files are on my son's old hand me down computer. There may be just a few of these files on it. It will be, however, at least another week before I can get them checked out.
 
Well, let's see here.... some of my stuff is over 5 years old. I myself am on my third computer since I started painting in CFS2. Not all of my stuff is accessible by just snapping my fingers! I have to do some hunting through all my CD's.

Gonna need more than 1 day to get things uploaded!

I know guys...Rome wasn't built in a day, even God took six.

Just trying to put a charge in ya...:violent:
 
When I get back from the shop, I will see if I have any of the missing items. I doubt it, but ya never know. :ernae:
 
Looking at the majority of my old stuff convinces me they are not needed. Some of the better stuff at the very least needs updating..... a daunting task.

How long will the "window of opportunity" be open Rami?
 
OK, I've made a start with the smallest sections - the ships and scenery. The following files have been uploaded:

vn_kongo

DEM4m00b_8_fix
RAF_Banff
mr_solomons_081116
lwd_tree_library

Only another 1550 files to go!

Sully,

This is an open-ended arrangement. There is no window of opportunity.
 
Thanks Rami

I checked and my meagre contributions are all okay. Also I took a random sampling of the 1% aircraft... they seem to be okay too.
 
forwarded files

Rami;
They were the VN_Kongo, Auto splash screens Pacific 42-44 and a FDGv2 plane. Maybe I screwed the pooch using the upload method:icon_lol:
 
Only 1550 to go? Screwing the pooch? Are we having fun yet? We have been waiting a long time to get our library up to snuff. It's gonna take some time, but really, this time it's gonna happen. :ernae: (I hope)
