Is Garry Smith's 2004 site forever DOWN?

[Jean Loup]

HELLO & BUENOS DíAS TO ALL, I have a question: now that the site "http://www.gjsmith.net (aircraft and all textures)" is DOWN, where do we find (us poor 2004 retrograde souls) this textures? I only have the basic plane & texture. (Transload doesn't open either)

Garry's site, cataloguing an amazing range of paints is no more.
The Fort Tri-Motor site, thanks to Ed Moore, is still up & running. Maybe not for much longer, so please grab what you can, before this site disappears into history.
Garry also provided a repository of Mike Stone's planes. Another mostly forgotten developer, who gave us a huge range of aircraft.
There is a Mike Stone collection in our library, that I posted a few months ago, and Ronald Falzon is also posting texture collections on a regular basis.

These developers were the backbone of our hobby, always giving us outstanding freeware add-ons, often without recognition nor thanks.

The Ford Tri-Motor Project is a great collection of aircraft, textures & scenery, & I have a separate FS2004 install just for it.
Garry always said that simming is all about Fun, Facts & Fiction. Let's remember the 3 F's of simming.

Our 15 year old FS2004 is quite unique in having these amazing add-ons.... there are even floating sloping & circular runways that other sims lack.

Regards,
Robin

AND make FS2004 close...

The Harvard/Texan paints were on Garry's http://www.gjsmith.net site, not at the Tri-Motor site.

Maybe somebody has some paints fron the old site that they can share, & all Garry's paints for Warwick Carter's T6 Texan were for FS2004.

Waybackmachine is always worth a look for dead sites (& live ones!)

Seems not to have archived much of Garry's site though ... but worth looking just in case

MUCHAS GRACIAS, Pete. Another of those abandoned sites, they say for sale.

Jean Loup, PM me with your email address and I'll see what I can do regarding the T6 paints.

There is quite a lot at waybackmachine if you look around. The snapshots are very random - most having very little or next to nothing archived but some have quite a lot of stuff. You just have to check different dates.
