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...
