Is there an FS2002 archive with older aircraft before 2009? I was searching through the FS2002 Props folder and it only goes to page 64. There has to be more. Anyone know?
My guess is that the 'date posted' might be misleading. The dates probably reflect dates the files were migrated to a new server/file system and are not the original file dates.
64 pages (x 10+) is still a lot of files, and that's just one category.
At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
