John Venema Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hello all, Just a quick update. I think we are in a position to release tonight (Saturday night UK time). Full TE GB-S product build up on the servers and propagated to the CDN nodes - check! Product page complete - check! Email blast formatted and ready - check! Release announcement formatted and ready - check! Final tests of new FTX Central code - in progress..... You will need to download a new version of FTX Central to be able to install TrueEarth GB South. This new version adds the new decompression system and other X-Plane specific functions. Be sure to upgrade FTXC before installing TE GB. We are pretty pumped about this release - the "buzz" on forums, internet and social media is huge, and reminds us of the launch days of FTX Global. Here's a quick straight V-key grab from my laptop whilst doing some final testing over EGHI an hour ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ady7970 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Oh....maybe not. It has to 'convert' the files once downloaded. And that is going VERY slowly, even on a 10 core PC with the files on a 1TB NVME SSD. Currently saying it'll take 4 hours. So there goes being able to fly with this tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
