Matt McGee Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sorry if this is a stupid question. I got the notification from FSS that the YMML v2 installer had been updated. This is just a dual FSX/P3D installer with no changes to the scenery, correct? So, if my YMML is installed and working, there is no need to get the new installer right now? Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinT46 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It has been updated to a P3D installer. If you are still running FSX there is no change. Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonduck Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sorry to be dumb... but where is the dual installer located? I checked my account downloads and can only see what i originally downloaded or is that actually a different file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click it now you'll be downloading the dual installer. Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sorry also to be dumb ... but .... does this mean that the download is significantly smaller than the original, or do we have to download the lot again? If this latter is the case, a lot of us in struggle street will lack the necessary bandwidth. Would appreciate clarification of this issue.

ColinT46 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Tom. All the P3D installers that I have downloaded recently (last 4 or 5 days) have been smaller than the original files downloaded for FSX use. Maybe Adrian or someone from Orbx (Ed Correa) could enlighten us as to why this is and what has been left out. Keep checking your FSS account for compabilty. There are other updates too.

Colin Nothing has been left out. The new installer is built with a different package which has better compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinT46 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Ed, That was quick, any news on NA PNW for P3D? Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So how big are these new downloads as a generalised percentage .... because anything over say 70% of the original will involve huge downloads for us that have large numbers of orbx products. Might be forced to fork out for the backup discs. Clarification sought. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 PNW should be soon, all dual installers are with FSS now. So how big are these new downloads as a generalised percentage .... because anything over say 70% of the original will involve huge downloads for us that have large numbers of orbx products. Might be forced to fork out for the backup discs. Clarification sought. Cheers. Installers are smaller, but if you use P3D and want have those products directly installed into P3D, then you'll have to download it. Otherwise use the smaller Migrator tool to link all the FSX products into P3D. Your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most of the new installers are smaller than their former FSX only versions the difference in size is only marginal. If downloading the new installers is an issue FSS does now offer a 32GB USB Flash Drive after market Digital Media Service for AUD$44.95 delivered worldwide. http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Thanks for that Adrian - is there a charge to put each orbx product on to the Flash Drive, or does the $44.95 cover the 32GB of burning and postage (assuming only already purchased FSX products are sought). Checking out your link above, my reading of it is that the $9 charge covers burning and postage for up to a full CD, or DVD, and $44.95 for a 32GB Flash Drive, regardless of number of products. Is this correct? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Lehmann (FSS) Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 That is correct. The price is for as much as can fit on the disk or flash drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
