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.

Please note, the way our system works on our site, there is a flaw, which means you will get that warning screen on EVERY download. But, what is does not say, is that you CANNOT download. It says, IF you CANNOT download, this is the reason
so, you ACCEPT the warning, and if you have the correct permission, it will download, if not, it will not, so please try again
so, you ACCEPT the warning, and if you have the correct permission, it will download, if not, it will not, so please try again
Ah come on, you are asking him to TRY AGAIN, knowing darn well he will get the same 'error' and NO download? Why don't you just tell him the truth. WHY don't you tell him he will NEVER be able to download any UKMIL file if he does not JOIN (ie: contribute $9.99) and become a member? You REALLY don't believe your own 'double-speak' and deceptive, 'half-truth', 'pitch', do you? Cheesh.
Sure, he is (supposedly) NOT paying for the model (the model is FREE) but paying for the bandwidth it takes to keep the files (at the ready) (for MEMBERS) to download. Hello! (Ever seen this: ''Free Download-FREE 30 day trial Period-Upgrade to 'Pro' for $XX.XX, etc''? It's the same thing. But I guess there is (REALLY) no 'free lunch'.

FWIW, I've just downloaded the Beta Jag... http://www.ukmil.org.uk/download.php?list.118
I'm NOT a paid up member.I believe that you owe Ukmil/Gaffer an apology for that attack.
Hello,
I just had the time to download the Jaguar, but the link has given Delta Kilo! Thanks to him!:salute:
I do not understand why I'm not happened!
I must say that I use systematically an automatic translator!
Anyway, thank you all, and accept my apologies for my mistakes and the inconvenience!
And end of the off-topic!

This is too much Chuck. UKMIL run their site and system the way they like and no one should be unhappy about that. They become free to download after a beta period as can be seen above. Please moderate your comments in future!

What is wrong with you people?
Another well-intentioned, informative thread heading off the rails.
Why privately PM and courteously look to solve a problem, when OFF-TOPIC, inane, and complely inflammatory commentary will do?
Just what we needed, and at no better time. Bravo. Well done. Thanks for being part of making this hobby better.

Did you try downloading the Jag beta from the link in my previous post? Does it work for you? I've never had any issue downloading files from UKMIL's site...surely I can't be the only one!
@ DagR: Your comment disgusts me and comes across as trolling. You appear to have a serious chip on your shoulder as does Chuck (napamule) with regards to UKMIL. Bear in mind that a little civility goes a long way in our chosen pastime.
. I can't wait until after the beta testing, or maybe I may donate to the team so I can get it a bit quicker. Well done all of those involved in this little beauty of an aircraft. Thanks UKMIL.:salute:

I got my hands on the Bucc with a huge thanks to UKMIL reactivating my club membership(after the mandatory email change/anti-spam policy). It is a very nice model thus far and the VC looks great. I am currently working on updating the airfile and cfg file to try and get the flight dynamics up to speed(I'm doing this separately from Hank who's more of an expert on this than I am) but hopefully it will turn out well from one or both of us. Will try to get some screens posted of the model & VC after my tweaking is done later this evening.
Brianlet me sort out your account in the morning

To me there are some planes that just look SOLID; the Bucc and Grumman Cougar both have that made of iron look to them.
Looking forward to the ultimate release. Keep up the good work guys.

Okay, with several hours of tedious work, I've managed to get the FDE feeling a lot better. As a reference I went off the Flying Stations Bucc S.1 but the UKMIL S.2 was close enough on many of the tables that I didn't make that many changes. Obviously the S.2 being a heavier and more powerful animal than the S.1, the two different models(Flying Stations & UKMIL) are going to fly differently but I did my best to stay within a respectable/believable FDE without cloning the other(the S.1). I'm pretty much satisfied with it except the need to iron out the yaw factors a little as there is a little bit of wallowing when banking back wings level out of a turn but this issue is minor. I also fixed the fuel consumption rate and a couple of other things in the cfg file. There are a few bugs to iron out in beta but near as I can see, they are minor(all the beta testers and devs know the ropes at this stage of finishing a project is like, the cake is baked, now time to add the icing!). I have a feeling this is going to be a very popular model when it comes out. So, as promised, here are some screens post FDE work.

Well I tried 2 days! So it's SOMETHING. Maybe not 'pay first'. Maybe XML? My AV won't allow xml to run/install/change registry/call home, so maybe that's it? Probably.
Ok, so I overreacted. Sorry about the put down Gaffer. I always have liked UKMIL stuff very much. You're the hardest working bunch in the sim world. I know you guys.
I worked last 2 days on your 'old' Buccaneer S2 to see if you would take my FDEs for it. I got it spec. Luck. No. Took your air file and 'polished' it and made changes to cfg file. You say not to make ANY changes to any file in your downloads, so I am hesitant to offer my files (or rather, YOUR files, with modification). Ah well. It's the same ole story: 'He said-She said'. Then nothing gets fixed due to 'xyz' getting in the way. (That is what hurts). I'm out.

Ah...downloading as we speak.....
[though I still hanker for some bug fixes for the Tonka instead]
When not messing with FSX skinning I administer a website of 4.6 million ....re skinning the Windows GUI [rather than aircraft]. There will ALWAYS be someone, somewhere that shoots from the lip before really engaging a brain.
As Ned Kelly said on the gallows....."Such is life" ....
