Tango: let me be the first to congratulate you on a fantastic accomplishment; let this be the beginning of a wonderful archive--and let me find my own source files somewhere in the depths of this old clunker of a computer!

Thanks, Merlin. A lot of work, but it keeps getting better. :jump:

The beauty of source files is that they can be used to produce model files for virtually any flight sim. :ernae:

All designers are welcome to add their source files to the archive AND to specify the conditions of sharing/access to these files. The files can also be removed from the archive whenever desired. You retain control over the file at all times. This is possible because the archive is an offline resource, not web-based.

The purpose of the archive is to preserve the untold hours of labor involved in developing source files. No matter how careful most developers are, much work is lost each year due to crashes and/or designers moving on to other interests.
