clrichey Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hi! I have a question. Can you tell me where all of Skysim's products are currently available after Skysim closed down? Thank you. Sincerely, Connor Richey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScatterbrainKid Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 All I know is that there used to be some Rick Piper models at Skysim, but I hear he's now uploaded them to here- http://www.cbfsim.co.uk/CBFS_HOME.php and he was talking to people in their forum in June 2016, (scroll down to the 7th post) so he's still around if you want to register there and talk to him about what happened to all the Skysim stuff- http://www.cbfsim.co.uk/cbfs_bb/search.php?keywords=rick+piper&sid=35f865d351ddbee418c1c6f881127711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrichey Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 By the way, can I ask whether anyone knows why Skysim closed down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 By the way, can I ask whether anyone knows why Skysim closed down? Usually a site will close down due to lack of funds to maintain the domain name and server. This is probably the best answer about the other sites you were asking about over at AVSIM, also. Another reason could be lack of traffic on the site or age and/or health of the owners. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

clrichey Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well, who knows the real reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well, who knows the real reason? No-one but the website owner himself. As Mr Zippy has explained, there could be several reasons. Websites don't last forever and neither do the files hosted on them, but there is an internet archive where you can enter an old website address and see if anything pops up: https://archive.org/web/ Good Luck!

mrzippy Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well, who knows the real reason? Any reason why you need to know "exactly" why a website has shut down? :confused: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
