Aaarrrrrgggghhhh......
I had updated my Bristol Airport scenery for FS2004 (it was looking alot better) and was waiting for the release of AFCAD to release it......
In the meantime my computer crashed and had to be repaired and everything was lost on my hard drive. I thought I had backed up the file on my network :(
I think I uploaded the FSSC file in the .zip so that people with more skill could upgrade it. Ive got my fingures crossed :( :( :( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :'(

:'(

:'(

Off now to hunt for it in the deepest parts of SimV file system.

Oh, Hi there Hagar - that was quick! Thanks for the luck

Hi Bird man. Glad you found it.

Makes you go cold doesn't it.

I've lost little bits of scenery updates from time to time. The worst time was when I tried loading my FSSC file into Airport - and it converted the bloody thing without asking me first so that neither prog could read it!

Luckily I'd just taken a backup the day before under another name and I only lost a couple of macros which I was able to pop back into the backup again.

Phew!

Glad you 've still got yours!

Certainly went cold when I realised what i'd done.... ::)

Unfortunately i've lost my macros i made but there not any great loss as hey were my first attempt a EOD.
Im going to see if I can find a book with lots of pictures of the airport, there are very few of any use anywhere on the internet that i've found. Do you know any good sites for this kind of thing? It would be nice to make it more like reallife.
Just got to work out the new AFCAD :D
Birdman.

Wotcha birdie,

No all you can do is search the net but don't forget to look at airliners.net and jetphotos, specifying that you want shots at Bristol (Filton presumably)

I got 54 shots on airliners.net and 27 on jetphotos. Mostly they would be shots of planes but you will always get a few with buildings and stuff included or in the background

Its actually Lulsgate

Or Bristol 'International' Airport... ::)

I've looked at Airliners.net many times (a briliant site) but as you say with Filton it just has aircraft with grass. I'll have a look at jetphotos, ive never heard of that one before. Thanks RollerBall.

It's not funny, let me tell you.

If the next 40 go as quickly as the last I just won't have time to do all the things I want

Im not even half your age and feel the same way :o - but thats not surprising as I havn't done all the things that I have wanted to do having had an illness for the last 6 years. :(

No offence mean't with these things (
