I think this is a hoax, can't download anything.
Clicking on the aircraft takes me to a "milviz sharepoint" page with "open" and "download" buttons. Clicking on either results in absolutely nothing

Top left is the d/l button on each a/c p[age. Though not sure I trust this. I will let others experiment and report back as I have just got back FSX into a funtioning state and not willing to screw it up..

Its a bit fiddly to download them, might be due to heavy load on the site. I had a few problems too but eventually got a couple of the aircraft that I wanted.

Sometimes I had to click on the download button more than once to get it to work.

Bonjour,

Je suis Français et je confirme qu'il est impossible de faire des téléchargements sur le site.
Comme on dit, je pense que c'est un FAKE,FAKE.....................................

It's a bit glitchy, just tried to download the F86 and it's downloading now.

Clicking the download button twice seems to work.

Just downloaded two files OK, DH2 & F86.

I finally got it to work in off-peak time, but it is still very finicky, have to restart downloads several times. Think they just dumped all their old stuff on a retro server from the 1990s and it cannot cope.

Not a hoax just a poorly designed site that can't cope with the amount of people trying to download the files. I downloaded two files today and a few yesterday, it takes a bit of patience but you can download the files.

I have just downloaded a few more files, try double clicking on the download button. This has worked for me today, plus maybe the mad rush is over and the site is beginning to recover.

Milviz/Blackbird Simulations didn't have to make the files available when they moved onto MSFS. I'm grateful that they have made the files available to anyone who wants them.

Aeroplane Heaven did the same thing but you have to download them through Orbx's system.

The P38 & Beaver are well worth the effort.

Well something didn't work out well, I finally was able to get some of MILVIZ planes downloaded something went wrong. Other planes I've had installed for months that I tried to fly today and all I get is a black screen after trying to load them. I am not sure if there's a bug or not from MILVIZ. I suppose I will need to uninstall those new ones

I had no problems with the planes causing problems with FSX so far, the only problem I have is with the Sabre. The pop up screen to activate ground power disapears so unable to start it. Might be that I have a different flight set up as cold & dark that causes problems with some addons.

Some of the planes are labelled as FSX but are for P3d, could that be your problem?

Which aircraft was it?

The UH1 only had P3d installers but it did install and seemed to work.
The Bobcat and Pa30 were the same.
I installed the 407/ P38/ Sabre/ DH2/ Super Sabre & F4J. None of these caused any FSX problems.

I did something out of the ordinary and decided to restart the computer and now the world is spinning in greased grooves. Thanx
