I can't find the B-24 Guy's B-24--where is it?

:wavey:Hello readers,

I can't find the CFS2 overhauled B-24 made by the B-24 Guy.
I went through four pages of CFS2 American a/c, and did not find it. Will continue to the end in that category, CFS2 American Aircraft, in the hope of finding it.

One pleasant surprise was that I found a repaint I had uploaded here, the Bowers Fly Baby, which I had totally forgotten, and downloaded that, plus some other files that took my fancy as I searched along.
No outflanking movement was possible in this war in order to get to my objective target---that famous overhauled B-24.

A few things:

I do not understand the 3 search tab filters on the left.
One seems to have letters like ABC, etc, the other two I am not clear what they are. Does anyone know to tell me? Some look like posters' names, other look like nothing I can recognise.

Why can we not have a system by maker of the plane (AND NOT BY UPLOADER of the maker's plane-a deplorable practice that exists in some other sites also).
And add a type search, something that if one types, say, B-24, all the B-24's come up. These two combined would suffice, with the Category helping out also.

Now a few questions:

Do any of you who read this find the system in force easy? Tell me the truth.
Do you have any similar problems to those I have?

Every time I want to look for something here, I say my prayers beforehand, and at the end of each search--- since I find what I want only at 10% of the times--- I say words that are not printable here and retreat to my bunker in the hills and set up Bren guns to kill anyone of the site people that comes across my line of view-only joking of course...I cannot face this sad situation without humor.

I have never seen a more torturing, less effective search engine as this site has.
Something ought to be done about it and I do intend to write the adiministrators and send some proposals.

If you know where the Overhauled B-24 models by the B-24 Guy are, let me know please by including a link so I can get them-if that is possible.

Thanks,

Nick Tselepides,

are you using the Library search or the one for the forum?

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links_search.php?action=search&tabid=446

left side enter the name of plane or auther. right side search in cfs2 addons.
hit search.

if you don't get it the first time try with or without spaces or "-".

The forum search does not search the Library. that is the search bar at the top of your page right now. only use that for topics we have writen about.

Thats all I've got.

Till Later,
John
 
Thanks

Thanks to all,

I got the file, finally. Thanks to Rami.

John: I do not know what it is I was using. It has three taBS ON THE LEFT FOR SEARCHING, and the top one has letters ABC, etc. Is that the forum search tool?

Nick,

You were using the library category sort by tools.

I ignore the first 2 boxes, unless its a recent upload & you know the filename, in this case you might find it in the keywords drop down list. I have my settings to automatically sort each category by date created (descending).

On the right hand side you'll see a magnifying glass by the uploaders name. If you click on it you'll find everything uploaded by that username. In most cases if you know the uploader, that's a quicker way to find things.

I've attached some screenshots that might help you navigate the screens, I appreciate they can be daunting to look at!
