John York Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I expect by now you must be fed up to the teeth with people like me asking questions......but...... I see many of the new freeware downloads are marked up as SP3. I now don't know which ones I've got and which I haven't. That's not so much of a problem as I honestly can't see the difference between the SP3 Airports and what I had originally! They all seem to work very well, so can someone please tell me what the differences are and how I can tell quickly and easily those I've got and those I haven't! Sorry to be such a nuisance.

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi John, Let me try and help you out of your ........ the various airfields as stated by the team are UPDATED to the latest SP3 standards, some things where added, some things where deleted, some things where improved, some of them where completely reworked and all should now have included a localized control panel where you can select wich things to show or not, furthermore the Library files where taken out, as it didn't make much sense packaging them with every installer, so they are available as a separate download thus in effect saving some 20 mB per dowmload. I hope this answers you question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John York Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yes it does Wolter, and thank you for the very propt reply. However, as I intend to download the lot, I have three supplementary questions; 1. When installing, can I overwrite the existing files, or do the originals have to be uninstalled first? 2. As they will all each have their own individual Contol Panel, will they be included in FSX Central or be shown as Shortcuts on the desktop? 3. If these Control Panels will all appear as a desktop shortcut, is there a way we can insert them into FSX Central? Here we go, a marathon downloading session! There's one thing, I'll probably be able to get them all together on just the one 'back-up' DVD, or even perhaps a CD. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awright Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi John Make that 2 DVD's I think you setup is about the same as mine. Have fun Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 1. You can install directly over the top of the old ones 2. You can delete the desktop shortcuts to control panels and manuals 3. Control panels and manuals will automatically appear in FTX Central anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John York Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Fine. Many thanks John and Wolter. You've sorted me out as usual. Yes, you were right Alex. 2 DVD's. Although being mean and knowing there will be more to come, I put what was left on CD's - cheaper. When I have enough to fill up another DVD, I'll copy the CD one's over. So come on John and company, the challenge is to fill another DVD! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
