STORM'S ONEDRIVE IS CLOSED
(But flight plans are still available until further notice.)
On 2015-07-02 I received the following email from Microsoft:
I have no idea to what this relates. They didn't tell me. It seemed to be something in my Vintage Hangar as no downloads from that folder were possible from anonymous accounts.
Nor did whoever complained and made this happen contact me personally first, as I'd requested in the READMEs. My original README said this:
Apparently this was not sufficient.
This repository was created in good faith as a service to my little flying community. I was careful not to tread on anyone's toes, but apparently some people have very big toes.
I'm too old to be interested in fighting or arguing. I'm not interested in a repeat performance. I'm not interested in sorting this out piecemeal. Consequently I have removed all files from public access.
There was a lot of work involved for me, aircraft by aircraft, adding them to my OneDrive - sometimes as much as 4 weeks for particular aircraft I felt needed a lot of work to be useful to my community.
All water under the bridge.
I apologize to anyone who is inconvenienced by this.
NOTICE TO GROUP FLIGHT ORGANIZERS:
If your event links to a suitable free aircraft that could once have been downloaded from my OneDrive, please be advised that none of these are available anymore. You may wish to amend the wording of future events that you post.
Fly safely.

WHY THESE PLANES ARE HERE
I'm a retired pilot/engineer/instructor and this is my private aircraft collection, based on freeware from around the world. I have a dozen or so friends at msFlights.net who share my enthusiasm for vintage airplanes, and this Skydrive (now OneDrive) seems like a good way to share that collection with them. All the work I put in is voluntary and there's never any money involved.
IF YOUR ORIGINAL DESIGN IS HERE
** If you think you're getting insufficient credit for your work, please let me know and I'll put that right. I do my best but sometimes someone's name may slip through.
** If you think I don't have permission to share your work, please be assured I will have tried to get that permission previously, but obviously the message didn't get through, or perhaps I misinterpreted your copyright notice. Please just let me know and I'll remove it from the Hangars, or I'll append a "with special permission" notice if you prefer.
** If you have updates I can share with my friends, we'd be delighted to see them! Please do check first how I've progressed your design - usually only in the panel and flight tuning - because you may like to incorporate my changes in your next release.
IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME
I recommend you do so via msFlights.net, as this collection is primarily offered as a service to that community.
Best wishes,
Storm
