simdown42 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi many thanks for Jackson Hole. The download appears to be almost 5 gig. Is this correct? It seems large for a single airport. Thanks Cheers simdown42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebgee Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Ironically, I just got here looking for confirmation that this triple-installer was a single download rather than the three .zips required by the original version. For some reason, I never looked at the file size. I guess we've answered each other's questions... As far as, "Why?" goes... I would hazard a guess that it's because of the large area of photoreal scenery surrounding the airport, especially to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick66 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Still the same size as original 3 zip files, remember it contains all the Mesh for the Grand Teton NP and photoreal textures, also the detailed textures that surround the Airport.

Neptune6 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi simdown42 why do you think that for the price you're only airport,learns Orbx than they treat surfaces around scenes , not as you should have used with other designers, that you just nothing around the airport KJAC 4.3 giga treatment of scenery and this is very appreciate by us Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I have never realized the enormous size of the file, because I got KJAC as a present on DVD then. Edit: Oops, this is my 1000th post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi guys. Yep it's a big download, just got it now. Was looking for a small update, but no it's huge, was all so not sure if it was ok to install over the old one but did it anyway and ok. All so got about five other zip files with it, but no information as to what they are for. I take it is some to do with the surrounding area and events. Derek.

Jarrad Marshall Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 G'day guys, It is indeed a big scenery product - and unlike the original download release (which was split into three installers and caused many users a great deal of confusion), this is packaged as a neat single-download. The file size is about 500MB larger than the original - this factors in the P3D2-exclusive content in addition to the updated FSX and common (shared) files. @Dadtom65 - the extra files in the .zip file in addition to the .exe installer are just part of the installer - no need to action anything else aside from unzipping the original download and running the installer (and updating your ORBXlibs, of course!). Cheers, Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi. Thanks Jarrad, so the Barnstormers file, no need to touch, sorry an age thing, there will be a Barn storming show on.

Hi Bluestar, If you are using P3d2, then the triple installer is essential for you. Otherwise KJAC won’t work correctly in P3d2. This means you have to use the Coss-grade offer from FSS. If you are running FSX, you only need the triple installer, if you would like to have the following enhancements, as per Ed’s OP: New runway/taxiway lighting system for FPS benefits and visual consistency on all systems - this is the same style I've been using on all my recent projects and triple installers. - Replace legacy agn lighting with new style - Fix airport fences issue at night in DX10 mode - Rationalised Objectflow to use consolidated module - Update taxiway textures (to remove texture tessellation issue) - Sitting man reading paper out front of terminal now has something to sit on - Updated user guide These are the options you have. I will use the Cross-grade offer, because I’m using P3d2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
