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.

Ok, I know in the past, even with a link from someone who had already downloaded a new file it wouldn't work, lol. Just seems that some are locked out and others aren't. No one has ever explained why this happens, or exactly what the wait time should be or how long it takes for a new upload to be available.
Thanks, I like it a lot. allways was fond of wood panelsOk, Skylark lovers, here's a highly polished, dark mahogany panel for you to fit inside your Skylark VC if you like. It comes in two 'bezel styles' , one is of the indented type, as per the original panel, and the other features bezels of the raised type. The choice is yours.
The latter is shown in the earlier screenie, here's how the indented style looks :

Just uploaded here at the SOH lib. It's in de skins department but you might be able to pick it up now if you check 'What's New' . ( file name is 'skylark_mahogany_pnl.zip'
Remember this is not of the cheapish veneer kind but pure honest real wood ( tip: cloth and polish are in the gloves department, please use it every now and then ) so the Skylark has become a kilo or two heavier. However i didn't notice any significant different behaviour in the flight characteristics so it's most likely you will find non either. Use at your own risk though. :costum:
Bill, thanks a lot for your permission ! :salute:
Cheers,

Lol, this is kinda ridiculous. Some have it, others can't find it, lol. If I go to "What's New". . .it isn't there no matter how many times I hit the refresh button. . .if I go through the various links to get to FSX Addons and then go to "skins" it isn't there either.
. . . . .AND, lol, I just did a search through the downloads section for the zip file name and it came up with nothing, lol.
Just uploaded my new Yellow paint scheme.
Features;
* Breitling vintage logo on yellow with black stripes paint scheme
* Black leather seat
* Brushed Aluminum panel
* Black leather canopy cover
If you want to keep the panel black, (I half way like black better then silver on the yellow paint scheme), then just leave out the 'Skylark_Panel' texture. Same with the seat. If you like brown better, leave out the Skylark_Seat texture.
You can find this in the FSX Skins section under 'lionheart' as the submission. (I have no idea how to post/obtain the download page link as I think it shows your ID number).
Enjoy. I was going to put some mud on the landing gear and thought... man.. that would be really bad. Mud would not stick to such a cool paint scheme with Breitling on it!
