okbob Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 My apologies if this has already been asked, as I've not found an answer anywhere. Many thanks, Bob Kellogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrogPhlyer Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Best I can offer is that the search looks for your search term "xxxxxx" in the titles and body of the individual pages. A file name search "xxx.zip" would only work if that were in the title or page. Hope that makes sense. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas. Laptop, Intel Core i7 CPU 1.80GHz 2.30 GHz, 8GB RAM, 64-bit, NVIDIA GeoForce MX 130, Extra large coffee-black.

Tom Gibson Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 1. At the top of the page Browse/Downloads. 2. Then at the upper right corner of the screen is the blue search box. Enter your search terms there. 3. No filename search, only what is in the title and description of the file. 4. Press Enter or click the magnifying glass. Hope this helps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptRo330 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hi all. Pardon me but how do you search for a complete aircraft in this new site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrogPhlyer Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 ATM nothing identifies complete aircraft vs repaint unless it is stated in the title or writeup. It is up to the content developer to include a good title and write up with enought detail key words to help those searching the files. 1 Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate.

PhrogPhlyer Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Is it possible that the SB771 file is not here? The only C-97G that refers to Mike Stone appears to be the Balair repaint you already found. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.

Founder Nels_Anderson Posted February 20, 2023 Founder Share Posted February 20, 2023 It is here. It's just a matter of figuring out how to find it, without using the file name. I first had to determine what kind of plane SB3771 actually is: a Boeing 377. Then by doing a search on "Mike Stone 377" I was able to find the original file: FS2002 BOAC Boeing 377 Stratocruiser About This File FS2002 BOAC Boeing 377 Stratocruiser. A Gmax model in BOAC livery. Features full animation (including engine cowl flaps) and reflective textures with night lighting. Uses default panel and sounds. By Mike Stone.

PhrogPhlyer Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Thanks Nels. This will help me with my searching method (look for all possible type/name military civilian etc). I only searched C-97 as did leuen. Didn't think about Boeing 377. This also highlights that content creators have the onus to ensure best possible file names and descriptions.

Founder Nels_Anderson Posted February 20, 2023 Founder Share Posted February 20, 2023 "Search" has become a vital 21st century life skill, that it seems to me many people are not very good at. It's something that probably ought to be taught in schools these days, though that's no help to those us well beyond our school years. Would a tutorial on search be something people here be interested in--and actually read? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I use the search option now to find the downloads that have the base model included, one thing with using the search it also brought up the odd discussions about certain aircraft.

Founder Nels_Anderson Posted February 21, 2023 Founder Share Posted February 21, 2023 OK some good responses As I understand it, there are still some changes in the search features in progress. Once that settles out I'll see about getting a tutorial done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
