Finally getting around to downloading V2.5.
In just a mere 9 hrs it will be downloaded.
Good grief it would be quicker in Samoa.

Andrew , you saying that really brings back memories from the 1998 Wanaka airshow, some 'plonker' running around saying you can get anything off the internet .. even today that is not correct .. even today its still very limited .

Well with the likes of Netflix and streaming TV services sucking the life out of the copper network it won't be long before the days of dial up speeds return.
It was already taking a dive after 3pm when schools out.
Fibre will never make it to my door unfortunately.

Well that's true :D .... funny when Marty stopped here, he said "how could you write about one aircraft" , the Convair B-36 in a book that size, add another which again you will not find any info on the net at 250 pages , then the third , ... at 100 pages and mainly photos ... must be one hell off an aircraft ....... doubt if we will see one in P3D tho .. a good P3D version tho, if there was , I'd be a P3D man B-)
