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.

That's a bonus... I tried the XP10 Saab JA37 Viggen in XP11 and it works ok with some minor defects I can live with. Removed the Cannon as was positioned wrong and the canopy glass transparency looks odd outside from some angles and from inside looks like Night Vision... but still looks and performs ok. The textures appear a bit light and washed out but that is easily remedied in a paint program. I thought this Viggen was the best thing about XP10 so good to be able to use it again... but would obviously love to see it given the full XP11 treatment.

worst developer ever
X-Plane might be the first simulator outside of combat sims in which I've developed something akin to a "home plate" mentality. It's good coming home and even better when it also looks the part.
But as fun as it is, I just wish that it wouldn't crash so often without a single trace.

Me too. For me it's cross platform, configuration options and of course the eye candy out of the box. User interface has also seen a massive change for the better. Laminar have done a damn fine job on this release. I've actually spent more time flying in x-plane in the last year than I have in ESP based sims. Weird.
Saw your post on xplane.org and my vote is also for blender. But you mention some work with 3dsmax and fsds which I think are far more closer to ac3d. I tried ac3d demo but it was a little too clunky for me.
What do you mean by clunky with reference to AC3D?... I'm leaning toward Blender as you say. I have to say though AH developing for XP11 takes away a little from the impetus for me to learn but I may still have a go. For one thing I really want a good Hellcat and having found a Polish book with excellent drawings... it does make it an appealing project for me.
