  1. Hi since this is a sticky I would like to share an easy way to compress image a bit and to reduce them in size.

    The software is FREE and I mean fully FREE, I have been using this one for light image work for over 12 years.

    Even with my very fast internet I see some image being loaded very slowly due to their big size.

     

    First he is the link for PhotoScape

    http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php

     

    Here are 4 images to explain how to do it, all image are hosted on Imgur https://imgur.com/

     

    Mine is in French but it's the same in English

    It does quite a few nice things for a free editor

     

    But the following are for single image, but if you want to do more then 1 image at a time it will be called : Batch Editor just on the right of Edition (Traitement par Lots)

    Simple choose your folder, in this case FSX, on the bottom left of the software you will see all images in this folder, just click on the want you want.

    In red you can see the image size, in this case, 2560 X 1576, a bit bellow is the Resize tool, all the classic size are already in there. Choose one

    Same image is now at 1280 x 788, you can even use some tool to make it look better. Now that your done, hit the Save (Enregistrer in French here)

    On this save screen you have many choice, but one is to compress your image a bit, even 95% make a big difference, I use anything between 85-95%

    The rest is self explanatory... I know French is bizarre ha ha

    Cheers, Ben

  2. Just saying, I think that maybe there is something wrong.. I think that my FTC central was not up to date (not sure) but it allow me to download all airport update.

    I think I have uploaded FTX Central to the latest version at the end, can that be possible?

    All airport look like they have been updated when I went back from work, but when I started P3D no change to the airport where there.

    After reading a few post here, one from Ben (he told to verify file integrity), all airport had to re-download file missing, this was about the same size as my original download???? 

     

    I am still downloading due to my slow connection at home and will report back
