OLDflyboy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I just did a full install of everything and replaced win7 with win10. My PC is reasonably fast with high speed cable modem and lots of free disk space. So yesterday I reinstalled various drivers, P3Dv4.5,and then moved on to ORBX software. Using Central the migration was completed (whatever that is) and I started downloading GLOBAL Base Pack. After two hours it had downloaded 2% so I Logged in and started a Manual download with a download manager. NINE hours later it finished. But instead of a .zip file I have a .c4 file the same size as Global. Where did I go wrong? At this rate it will be Christmas before I get all my ORBX software installed. No other programs running or downloads are in progress but no improvement at all in speed. So: any suggestions or advice will be appreciated AND is there any way to install this GLOBAL BASE .c4 ??

Nick Cooper Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hello Neal, there are two installers, they have similar names, FTX Central and Orbx Central. If you only use the word "Central" to describe them, confusion will be inevitable. a c4 file is for Orbx Central. You can read about Orbx Central here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDflyboy Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Sorry, I am using the new installer. It finally finished Global Base. Presently, after another six hours, it has downloaded 50% of Pacific Northwest. Very frustrating and disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDflyboy Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Quote Operating system: WIN10 Home First time installation Simulator: P3Dv4.5 Screenshot: Attached Issue: I have been trying for two days and this screenshot shows the progress. Download starts normally and progresses at good speed. Then it gets slower and finally stops as shown in the shot. The ONLY download to succeed is Global base. I downloaded pacific Fjords and tried a manual install but it just went into the queue. Stopping the active download still would not get the other one installing. All other download attempts from other sites are all normal and files download with no problems. Please help solve this problem Neal Howard central.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Williamson Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Hi Neal, I've merged your two topics to help keep track of your issue. Does restarting Orbx Central begin the download again? Does the .c4 file download correctly when using the manual download link on the website?
