Title: Trying to obtain ACARSD for RB
Post by: CountryEd on May 06, 2022, 02:51:24 PM

Folks,
Is any one able to access the download site for ACARSD? I wanted to download it and use it with RadarBox. But security does not allow this site for me. I have added what I thought would work for my browser.
Just want to obtain a copy to install.

I think the problem is with the ACARSD website being down

Bummer! That is what I was thinking. Now to just wait and see when the site returns. I have not seen any other freeware that does the ACARS.
