Bill Lyons gift to the community

All his former payware aircraft, even the most recent releases have gone freeware. Saw it and downloaded them from AvSim.

Great gift from the folks at Golden Eagles

Just got a bunch of those myself. Top-notch stuff, and right up my alley. Very generous of him, putting them out there like that...:)
But why won't the rotor on my Kellett spin?

I read that he wanted to get them out and used while FS9 was still running.    He obviously doesn't see them being compatible with the new FS.............?

I doubt that.  If that were the case, FS10 is still a year off, so he still has plenty of time to make money off of them, so why do it now?  Plus, there is a precedent to this; he did it once before...
