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.

Hehe, finally remember to install some film into our on board camera.
Had an "interesting" flight to YMTG tonight.
I had went up to 15,000 trying to get some speed out of the Stratoliner and it got to be time to descend. I'd installed a new overspeed "alarm" and figured it would be a good time to test it. So here I am, dropping kind of fast and trying to keep an eye on the airspeed while doing the chatbox thing. I start hearing some knocking and clattering and look over and I've overpressured #2 & #4 and they're just barely running if at all. I throttled back to below max continous and #1 & #3 are still running good so at least I've got one on each wing.
I'm getting closer to the airfield and start my approach
About this point I realise that I'm too low and on just two engines, there's no such thing as climbing just slowing the descent. Then just to the left of the airport going through the woods, I see a road. I figured it was better to try to land on that road than go down through the trees so , I aim for it
I touch down on the road and start slowing down as I get closer to the airfield. Right as I start to enter the clearing the airfield is in, I hit the last tree!
So it looks like I might be spending the holidays here waiting on a couple of engines to come in the mail and getting the dent out of the wing.
