OK missed this upload - was distracted with the slightly more concerning SERVER CRASH at the weekend - which also coincided with me being away for the weekend with limited online access.

File deleted.

Well you have to think, all those people downloaded the file just as you did not knowing anything about it being pirated. I can pretty much guarantee you that maybe 3% of those that downloaded the file actually are on the forums and saw this post. So maybe to you there is not much fuss about it, but to those of us that get payware through the proper channels are quite upset about this happening. Again, dont take any of this personal to you... you downloaded a file like any other one on the site. No way for you to know. And as Pete has said... the file has been removed.

It's ah got damn shame is what I'm saying gtirob01, and I'm highly ticked off over this mix up too I worked my azz off all weekend long with this model, tried every way I could think of to fix my gauges, took all these damn screenshots, entered one in the contest, all that for ya'll to tell me now somebody didn't catch this before it hit the site and now all this work was for nothing!!!!!

LOL I was wondering if this was ah coincidence TOO!! Soon as I downloaded this, all hell broke out!!!

You haven't waisted any money there. Acceleration brings some nice features, as well as nice aircrafts. I'm pretty sure you will love the default Merlin (it looks beautiful), and the Reno-racer Mustang has one of the nicest virtual cockpits I've ever seen, even in paywares. The default Hornet looks good as well, but it really reach it best level once you download and install the freeware extention pack nammed "Sludge Hornet 1.2".

The Reno racing feature brought by Acceleration is too hard for me, but the other features are quite nice, especially the aircraft carrier operations ! Lots of fun.

Ok so here's ah rookie question, I downloaded the Nimitz carrier group but ok, how can I even find the dang thing???? Would it be in my airport list???

As Gtirob01 mentionned below, you will have to use a freeware tool nammed "AICarriers2". It's a cool program that you use directly in-flight through a small window similar to the ATC window, and it gives you the choice to "pop" a carrier anywhere. And once the carrier has magically appeared (no, I am NOT being sarcastic here, the carrier will really appear out of nowhere, just like the towing aircraft for your glider for example), the window will offer you various choice to guide him (forward, stop, turn left 10 degrees, turn right 90 degrees, etc....).

The Nimitz carrier group archive *might* include AICarriers, I'm not too sure about that. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you take your time to read CAREFULLY the readme included, you must be sure about what you're doing when installing the Nimitz and AICarriers, because those are some of the best freeware addons ever made for FSX. So it will be worth it.
