Just Joined saying Hello and a question.

Col.. all those links work now. Somewhere, in some dark corner of a HD far far away.. is a folder containing all these. Could I find it.. NO! I did manage to find them all scattered in various locations though so you're good to go. They're all FS9 format.. I think

I just tried a good half dozen of thew links and I'm just getting 404 errors or site down messages, may be it's my PC settings I don't know but I've downloaded from other places no problem.

[DaveB]

I've no idea what might be happening Colin. As I said above.. I found all the files and uploaded them this afternoon. As a precaution.. I then tried all the links and each one was live Any ideas Ben??

I just tried the link to the Channel Airways file and got the download 'what do you want to do with this file?' type dialogue. I didn't actually download the zip, but it certainly appeared to be there for the taking.

Col, perhaps you need to clear your browser cache and try again?

Best,
Myles

Thanks for trying that Myles I've uploaded stuff for download before and NOT tried the link afterwards.. it usually ends in tears hence, I check all the links now

I just had a thought, these are not the links from the aircraft downloads but links that people have posted in the threads, some might say new xxxaircraft released etc but when I click on the link they have posted it is dead, may be I'm looking in the wrong places and if so I've been putting you guys to a lot of trouble for nothing and again if so then I'm truly very sorry.

[DaveB]

It's no trouble Col In this particular case.. the links in the thread concerned (I think it's called Classic AI Timetables.. in the Members Forum) were correct but the files weren't there. As well as changing servers.. we did suffer a pretty catastrophic crash which resulted in the need for a complete rebuild. I think it was one of those 'forum software upgrades gone wrong' moments Anyhoo.. the database was rebuilt but you're never quite sure if everything is back. It's common to find out it's not when someone tries a link and the link is dead

As it is.. I had to modify some of the links slightly because I couldn't find filenames to match. Perhaps I renamed a few zips along the way.. I dunno I hope that what I uploaded yesterday isn't a load of old tosh

Damn! I spent a couple of hours getting some flight plans and altering them to suite my setup for ai, I changed a few aircraft from the plans and when I went to compile for some reason I mustn't have De-compiled when I thought I had so I lost all what I had done.
After I calmed down I redid them again but this time I did them separately with notepad then saved them then copied and pasted what I had done in to the FS flightplans, phew!
After that if I have a lot to copy in I will do it this way just in case, I know from old I should save stuff in case it gets deleted but this time I forgot, any way they are in now and working, I wish there was an ai package for classic I for one would definitely buy it even though this is more my personal taste but after that last episode I could forgo my personal taste and perhaps add a few later myself.
