    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Does anyone have the J35J Draken freeware/payware made by bookmark simulations?

People,

I have to say something about this. You can't imagine how happy this makes me. People from all over the world coming together and sharing stuff while still respecting the law and copyright. That is downright beautiful and it is the reason why I call SOH my online home. That and the jokes at the cantina... :jump:

I'm so proud of you all. But who am I. You guys are the best!!

I agree, Priller. I have been flying the J35J Draken 4.1.2 and its a wonderful plane all in all. Almost everything is improved in some way from 4.0, and it's unfortunate that Thomas lost interest in the project. I respect his decision to retire from flight simmery though.
Thank you to all of the people who have helped to find this obscure freeware, and to all who have found resources on it. I honestly never thought this forum I made would've been responded to.

Anyway, here are some fun facts about this plane and how it was created it (most of these coming from the 4.0 manual):
-it took 20 years to make 4.1.2!
-Multiple museums in sweden use/have used the Draken in their cockpit simulators!
-It took collaboration between hundreds of people (including multiple real J35J pilots) helping and giving input on the Draken to replicate the J35J's flight characteristics
-This one isn't really a fun fact, but the Draken definitely goes up there with Dino Cattaneo's planes in realism and looks in my book!
 
Ok I've now added the updated EULA to the zip files for all of the versions of the Bookmark SAAB Draken I have and resubmitted them for upload. Apologies to all but I was not aware, at time of original upload, that the updated EULA needed to be part of the zip file. I'm by no stretch of the imagination a computer guru so repackaging zip files was a new skill for me, hopefully this worked and all ok now.
 
I haven't downloaded the Bookmark Saab Draken yet.. but would certainly be interested in a short comparison to rhe Alphasim Saab Draken... Is it a lot of differnece between the two?

the one by Bookmark/Thomas Nilsson is a nigh study level simulation, with comprehensive systems - hydraulic, electrical, navigational modeling, a full VC, and a 80-page manual to boot, amongst several others; the one by Alphasim - not so much - rather basic by comparison
