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.

Got stuck in Townsville for a week or so. We ran out of sonobuoys and those things are hard to find. Made a deal with a shady character in Charters Towers. Traded a load of sonobuoys for a case of Celine Dion Greatest Hits CDs. He drove a hard bargain. Here's some pics of the flight from Julia Creek to Mt. Isa. Not a lot for a sub hunter to do out here. Mt. Isa is located in what is sometimes called the "Gulf Country", on account of its location near the Gulf of Carpentaria. There is an underground air raid shelter and hospital from WW-II here that is now listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. And, of course, the wallaby burger and hotdog joint.
LOL Great shots and great fun guys; can't wait to join up with y'all once I get this last project out of the way. 
Here's some pics of the flight to Boulia. The first is climbing out of Mt. Isa. Looks like a Home Depot down there. On final approach to Boulia, this this Shrike Commander came out of nowhere! Thought about doing an Air Force style section landing for a moment, but decided to make a 360 instead!

Some snaps on the route.

Down at the Moomba Gas and Oil Field (YOOM). OOM is where PMDGs go to their final resting place.

This is a Flight 19 journey that is close to heart and wish I wasn't missing. I see some ozx stuff there, but sheesh default Australia looks nasty. Hope all are well. Regards, PM.
O'Boy! what have we got ourselves into this time!
