    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

Hey, some of you may know that back in the ancient times (20th century!) I wrote about flight sims for Computer Gaming World, Computer Games/Strategy Plus, and Compute, plus also had some articles about sims in OMNI, Computer Life, etc.

A couple other old-timer friends and I started a podcast where we look back at the sims we started on -- and even the sims that came before we started playing! We're replaying them, and both sharing memories of their original releases and our experiences of trying some of the titles for the first time. "Retro Dogfight: 3 Old Guys Talk About Flight Sims."

It's been super-fun to do so far, and I just want to take everyone who gripes about a texture over on the official MSFS forum and strap them to a chair and make them play these sims. :) But our focus is on the fun of "then," not the griping of "now."

Retro Dogfight - Classic Flight Simulation Podcast

Welcome to Retro Dogfight, a monthly podcast in which we'll talk about the classic combat sims of old, primarily of the 80s and 90s!
www.retrodogfight.com www.retrodogfight.com

The podcast is also available on the finer podcast apps and sites, like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, etc.

Hope ya'll will check it out!

We have a Discord, too, if you want to chat about the old sims, give us feedback on the podcasts, etc. https://discord.gg/8KqRVav3VY

We just recorded an episode on F-19 Stealth Fighter/F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0. I'm super excited for next month's recording: F/A-18 Interceptor on the Amiga!
 
So, did any of you airplane nerds actually listen to us? :) We've done 8 episodes so far.

It's fun, though I hate losing the nostalgia filter upgrade my memory had done on so many of these sims.
