Shackleton for FsX - Now released!

Hi Guys,

Great looking model :applause:

Just a little bit of useless trivia but on all SAAF aircraft of the period the Springbok, be it in the castle or the roundel format, is always leaping toward the front of the aircraft when placed on the fuselage and towards the fuselage when placed on the wings.

Regards,
Stratobat
 
What a joy to fly this magnificent beast!
In my opinion the Shackleton is the best freeware aircraft of 2011, so far!
Absolutely payware quality.

:medals::salute:
 
I have tried numerous times at different times of the day and still get corrupted sounds and aircraft files. Are there any other links available?

This Fine venerable war bird is further enhanced by this Sound set...a great mating of sight and sound...not to mention flying Qualities.


I have a question..I'm sure some SHACKLETON PILOTS can answer ....At 14,000..what could my power cruise settings be?...RPM.and BOOST (MP)?


The seat of my pants tells me if the Avro Shackleton engines are at a low deep growl?..it must be right.....Thanx guys..Vin!

I wish to thank you on behalf of the admin staff at Britsim for Direct linking to our site there by expanding the band width usage again !!! and by doing so making the Griffon sound and the Shack less available to your friends in the hobby. Nice going Ace


Everyone else here I would appreic

ate if you DID NOT direct link -- and for those of you with patience you might like to know that Rob English who owns Britsim is in the process of transferring our website from the American server we currently use
that causes the horrendous downloading problems and AGAIN To everyone who keeps saying that we are handing out CORRUPT files the problem is that due to the size of the files and the lack of bandwith of the American Server files are routinely cutoff before they finish downloading som when you go to unzip them they show as "corrupt".

I'm getting the feeling that this is not going well.

For whatever reason it seems that it is not easily downloaded. I have no interest as to who's fault it is. What I do get interested in is seeing rogue uploads, critical opinions of other members well meaning intent, and arguments as to who/what is at fault.

The bottom line is that at the rate this thread seems to be going it's going to end soon. Too bad...it looks like a great plane.
 
That bit of info I posted ..I did not know the cut and paste was an active thing..really! was meant just for visual info,and not an active device..sorry bout that...however..they will handel it their way..less classy than would think.......Still ,in the overall picture ,its a great plane..for that I thank them!..Vin!

Click to expand...

??? That is a link to your site specifically to the page of the sound files in question and not a hot link to the file.

It in no way can affect your bandwidth anymore than having the page on your site.

It only provides faster access to the download page for those who are looking for the sound files. This is exactly what you should do when pointing out what files can be found where.

You owe Beana an apology as he did nothing wrong.
 
In fact, the direct link cuts their bandwith usage as you don´t have to navigate thru all the pages and the server don´t need to deal with these pages requests. (Assuming that the pages and the plane packages are in the same server) :salute:
For the other side, using a direct link you bypass the License Agreement, witch i think is important.

I managed to download it thru the correct way already! Nice bird! Thanks Britsim!
 
Download problems here as well. I'm on my 4th attempt now, all file sizes have been different so far, Hrrrrmpf!

4th attempt lucky!!!!
 
A downloading side note. Finally got a successful download, first try on my wife's computer. She and I are networked through a single DSL modem and both using Firefox. The Griffon sounds, however, was corrupt on both machines. Go figure.
 
Why doesn't somebody put the "good" download on this site?
If that's a problem then this isn't worth the time of day!
:kilroy:
 
That has to be done by the folks that made the plane, or they can grant permission for someone to do so.
