Download count of 4

Post by spwaite » Fri Jan 17, 2020 7:27 am

I just purchased. Would not download. So obviously I tried a few times. The downloads are now at three.

I would appreciate set to 9.

The link that came up with the purchase didn't work. I pressed it a load of times. But the link on the email worked ok at four remaining.

I found there are no thumbnail.jpg images in the texture folders. Machine reader applications might not be able to load the 3D model and would prefer to find the traditional image for viewing in their applications.

The aircraft.cfg is saved in the UTF-8 with BOM format, and possibly others. The hidden character disables the first section name on the first line. Windows api "GetPrivateProfileString" fails to resolve the first section ([fltsim.0]) so that machine readers using that method will miss the first section and go onto the [fltsim.1] section or fail to correctly read the file. I found the file can be made reliable by placing a remark or blank line in the top of the file or saving in regular P3D text format.

Regards
Steve

I forgot. The MVAMS shortcut did not appear on the desktop, but it does appear in the Windows menu.

Problems with downloads usually indicate that there is some interference from firewalls or antivirus - this may very well result in a faulty installation.
Can you please verify that you have disabled all of the above while downloading, extracting and installing?

The count was reset to 10, thank you. I redownloaded with Defender off. No other AV or internet security system is in place.
The download was successful. The installation went ahead the same and seemed to go through OK.
The problems noted are the same.
Best regards
Steve
