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.

File Library??
- Thread starter Reddog
- Start date
Naismith, RedDog, and others,
Canelo_Kid informed me that the VBulliten software that is used for the archive is a security risk, so come August, the older archive will be no more. What I have been doing is running a coordinated effort to get ALL the files for ALL the sims from the old library to the new library. I'm working through the sims, and all the files have to flow through my hands as the head librarian, as I try to coordinate and catalog them.
I've been combining uploaded files with patches and fixes to try and streamline the process.
I discovered today, however, that I can adjust the submission date to reflect when the file was actually uploaded, so that way it will not affect the new library list. I will do that from now on.
However, I cannot do anything about a thread being started, that happens automatically.
P.S. - If you feel that you can do a better job, you're welcome to try your hand at transferring over all the files from the archive, working doggedly for free, and I'll grab a beer, light up the barbeque, and grill some steaks.
On the subject of the file library...
Been trying to get repaints for the WOP3 P-40B this evening from the FSX Skins library.
Every one I attempt to download ends up being exactly 216kb in size.
Of course I get a corrupted archive error when I attempt to open it.
Tried using IE and Firefox, same result, same size.
Oh and now my 'allowance' is up because apparently I have been charged for the full download sizes, but only getting 216kb in return. :isadizzy:
Anyone want to look into this please?

I just checked my download of the Chi-Chi-Jima scenery in the new files list, and it is only 1kb in size, and won't open. Seems all the files in the library that I click on and download are this way!
I get the same with a RN skin for a donation ware wildcat, uploaded in the last couple of days, 6 failed attempts gets 216kb of the download of 1.? Mb

The actual message is : "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged."

Thank you for all your hard work maintaining the library et al. Rami - it must be a pain at times
I was able to acquire both the old A-26 files and the new updated FSX files for the A-26 yesterday with no problems
:salute:
Good afternoon,
I went and backdated all of the files related to the library transfer, leaving only three pages of genuinely new downloads and/or ones I could not find reliable dates for in the warbirds archive.
All other add-ons have been backdated in the "what's new" section from the last fifteen days, reflecting their original dates of submission in the warbirds archive. They have not been removed, not to worry.
I want to try to keep the "what's new" section for exactly that, during this process. The starting of threads, however, is something I cannot do anything about.
I trust this will be satisfactory for you. :salute:
