The site may be down, but you can still get them through VirtualPilot.net. Look under the 'What's New' section and it'll give the story and the downloads. Grin

This scenery is awesome! Why on Earth is he giving this away when it was already payware? If I had known about it I probably would have bought some of it!

Found it on Flightsim but nowhere eles. They're painfully slow. I'm downloading at 10kbps right now where I usually get 300kbps here and at Avsim. Roll Eyes

At least these packages are FS2004 compatible. I downloaded their 1909 Bleriot XI and none of the control surfaces move. Tongue

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink
