Are they? At least back until 2007 the releases are still on
Sourceforge.
Yes alot of NASSP 7 snapshots are there of course, AND even NASSP 6.4.3 are able to be found, however, I didn't see NASSP 5.x there, or NASSP 4.x or NASSP 3.x.
By the way the specific location to previous beta releases of NASSP 7 and other important files are located
here.
BUT YES... from what I've seen, the NASSP files are in fact disappearing. View this site to see no official links to any of the older versions of files:
http://nassp.sourceforge.net/wiki/Versions#NCPP_1.0.
Note: NASSP 5.x is listed to work for Orbiter 2006. I would love to get my hands on ALL the files available at one time on the source forge page for version NASSP 5.x and all associated files. Thank you very much
indy91 for the links, research and help!! It is helpful to see these places to research.
However, upon researching the link the NASSP 7 beta you sited
here, states its for Orbiter 2006 but its instructions are for Orbiter 2010. Again there is a lack of correct links and instructions that are either obsolete or unable to point to a download for previous versions and correct documentation for them. The instructions on the same page that is supposed to be for Orbiter 2006 P1 says:
"Start Orbiter, go to the "Extras" tab of the Orbiter launchpad, double-click Vessel configuration and then double-click Project Apollo Configuration."
...ONLY Orbiter 2010 has an "Extras" tab so I assume these instructions are for Orbiter 2010
...and on the same release page, it states information on what Orbiter Platform to install to as Orbiter 2006:
"The new beta modules pack is available here:
http://nassp.sf.net/wiki/Installation. Please make sure that Orbiter 2006-P1 and OrbiterSound 3.5 is installed."
...but when you click the link, it takes you to the NASSP main install page which shows NASSP 7 Beta 20150804 w/Modules Pack (August 4th, 2015). I just re-installed this beta to a clean install of Orbiter 2006 P1 and Crash to Desktop. ...There was no MeshLand module to disable. I got the following errors in the Orbiter Log file:
Code:

Installing NASSP 7 Beta 20150804 will not work on Orbiter 2006 P1 at least for me it did not work. So..as I appreciate your help, your link to that ibiblio page DOES however make my point pretty clear as to why I am seeking copies of ALL the NASSP files. Because the old versions are disappearing and the links are not up to date nor is the documentation correct. I have decided that I will find what I need, document it myself, and share as I learn.
Again, I appreciate your help though and any other information ANYONE may have.
