Hey guys,
Aside from battling the flu, I've been gone from CFS2 for over a week. So that you know what's going on and why...I got a request about ten days ago to create an FSX scenery library category to make scenery installation for that simulator a bit easier. As I combed through the download section, I realized that aircraft and skins for FSX and FS9 both needed to be separated, combed through, and re-categorized.
With that in mind, I set up new categories for FSX and combed through some 3,500 files, and am doing the same for FS9, which is close to 5,000 individual uploads. There's no shortcut to this; I have to go through each individual download, looking for pictures, squadron data, and other information, correcting if necessary, and move it to the appropriate area.
Basically...imagine sitting at a computer and doing 8,500 uploads in a row. I finished the FSX section in eight days, and have about 175 pages to go in the FS9 section. (Approximately 3,500 files left) Then, I check my work and can declare the project finished.
I felt the need to do this for a while, but hesitated because of the work involved. With the donation drive coming up at the beginning of the year, I wanted to make sure that SOH users have a good reason to donate if you fly those two sims.
Bear with me on this, I hope to be done by Veteran's Day / Remembrance Day.
The, I will delve back into CFS2.
