You're right. I'd assumed it was It was in their library. Appologies.

Re: V3 of Manfred's C47 now available...
Just had a quick go with it. Two things:
It flies beautifully. One of the nicest flight models I've ever come across.
The A.I. seems to show the aircraft nose down, when flying level. When the A.I. shows level flight, the nose is up by about 10 to 15 degrees. Anybody else seeing this ?

Not seeing anything at all. Been trying solidly for an hour this morning. Lost count of the number of times I tried yesterday between 08.00 and 23.00.
I did manage to post a message on SOH forum this morning, and then I got the busy message again.

Just popped over there, straight in and download started no problem.

I was getting the "waiting for sim-outhouse message" so I decided to let it run while I was in the shower. When I got out, lo and behold, there it sat on my screen! I then decided to leave it until after breakfast, so I turned it off.
When I got back, I looked in my downloads folder and it wasn't there. I searched high and low in that folder, and there was no sign of it. Getting desperate now, I searched FSX, not there. Eventually, because I had seen the thing with my own weary eyes, I searched this computer. Well, I found it. Although I use a paid for downloader, SOH had downloaded it and buried it deep where I wouldn't expect it to be. C:\Users\My name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetcache\IE\ORUUGY50. Why?
As if I wasn't stressed enough, I now have to take herself to town shopping. The C47 will have to wait for me now.

I've been in a couple of times today. I say 'in' but on the second attempt, I got as far as clicking on the FSX forum before I got the Server Busy message (this just a minute ago). Knowing what a popular model the C47 was going to be and the strain it would put on the server, I really do think it was folly to open it up to the wider world (FSCom) and linking the download back to SoH Why the hell not upload the model there to take the strain off the server??

Doesn't help having a front page announcement on both Avsim & Flighsim.com either.
Expect another "bandwidth drive" to help with expenses soon!
I can understand just hosting the model at SOH, as it is still a beta and more control can be had over it. Luckily I got it first attempt, just not had chance to fly it yet, other than a quick look last night.

Yup.. I'd presumed it was only going out at SoH as it's listed as a beta but the point is.. once it leaves SoH, anything can and probably will happen to it. When the time comes.. having a file pulled from Flightsim.com is almost as easy as the admins pulling it from SoH.
