papabb Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Purchased from the FSS, downloaded all 6 files and have been trying to unzip using winzip Everytime I try it keeps asking 'specify the location for part 1 of the archive" I also keep getting on the 2nd file ,that it does not appear to be a valid zip file and please download again, done that twice now with same results I use IDM... Sent FSS an email 2 days ago with no response( I know they are 14 hours ahead of my TZ and I know I will get a response) Unfortunately I did not opt to purchase the CD's as well so I am asking FSS if I can purchase separately Any Ideas?

pmb Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The only way I could get this going was Flashget for download plus Winrar for unzipping. All others failed, Kid regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yours are like that you only have to unzip the .zip file. An archive utility that understands multi-part zips should handle the others automatically (make sure all the downloaded files are in the same folder). Hope that makes sense.

This is how I have installed PILOTS Global Mesh FTX Edition 2010 into P3D, and without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I tried Getright for download which had all the packet sizes right but MD5 errores despite. Besides, 7-zip was just unable to unzip the files properly. I tried this combo several times, as it had worked for all other addons I downloaded from the FSS up to that point. This was ~3 years ago when I bought this, and at that time there were several others reporting similar issues, I wouldn't exclude things working better now or other possibilities to work as well...

papabb Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thank you for all the replies! Michael, I used FlashGet3 and winrar and it worked perfectly, thank you so much! I am downloading right now, I will report back when it is done! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papabb Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Michael-Worked perfectly! Thank you again! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Glad it worked. I have kept a backup of the unzipped files for further installations since, although once installed, you can keep the installed files and just add their library entries in case of a simulator re-install.

Mikelab6 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Is WinRAR free ? Where did you get it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 It's not free, but I think it's the best "zipper/unzipper" available. There is a 40-day free trial so you can get a chance to try-before-you buy. I've used it for years and have never had a compression/decompression failure caused by the software. And, it works on virtually anything that's in a compressed format. One place to get it is here http://www.winrar.biz/ . - Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 It keeps being free after 40 days but you have to close the small ad banner anytime you use it. Not annoying on my side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I choose to buy it after I saw it worked while others failed on the Pilot's Mesh. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
