RobdeVries Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 FTX regions have their own mesh so no worry there. Downloading large files is best with download managers such ad getright, flashget etc. But you can also order it on digital media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlkjmt73 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 FSRobert, I'm downloading it now. There are six files to download. I'm on my fifth now. The first file is a little over 3 gig, and the others are a little over 4 gig. I think I started about two hours ago. And, I'm downloading them one at a time. I can't get the GetRight to work....so, I've been chancing it. So far, so good. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culley44 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 i just purchased this myself, it is 6 files as stated above and i just started the first one and its half way done already, i am on a 50mbps fiber connection and never had a corrupt file from the simstore, seems to only let me download one at a time though, so maybe an hour and i should have them all.its been a great christmas for me, i have had a fair amount of extra money to dump into my hobby, i flew for 4 or 5 hours just after installing vectors and loved it, the only thing i dont understand is why the highway overpasses are laying on top of each other, i hope this helps the elevations as someone else posted, and if you use the download manager you can get the multiple downloads at once, my mistake.

I have been using this for a few weeks now, and YES, it works with ALL FTX regions. When installed, it will in fact take up 22.9 GB of space, but that much size is not uncommon when installing mesh programs. At any rate, I confirm what the chaps above said, download each file and then install. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I just downloaded this very product from The FlightSim Store recently . Once you log into your account at The FlightSim Store and access your downloads it was listed this way. It was split into six different files : PILOTSFSG2010FTX.zip 2.95GB PILOTSFSG2010FTX.z01 4.0 GB PILOTSFSG2010FTX.z02 4.0 GB PILOTSFSG2010FTX.z03 4.0 GB PILOTSFSG2010FTX.z04 4.0 GB PILOTSFSG2010FTX.z05 4.0 GB ________ 22.95GB These file sizes are the end size after using The Internet Download Manager . I did have to redownload the PILOTSFSG2010FTX.zip 2.95GB . After I unzipped it and tried to run the Application.exe file to start the installation , Internet Download Manager stated it was corrupt . The 2nd zip file(PILOTSFSG2010FTX.zip) worked fine and the installation went well . As a matter of fact , I installed it both P3D v1.4 and v2.0 without a hitch .

Culley44 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 has anyone had problems extracting the files after download, once it starts it stops extracting with error messages such as you cant extract to the same folder as the archive or something, i deleted everything and redownloading thinkinh maybe a download was corrupt.

grajay Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I just extracted the zip to a new folder. When the job was done all of the files were in the new folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 FWIW the file extension .Z0X indicates a "spanned zip file". All six files need to be unzipped into the same folder, then the .exe from the .zip extension file is run. It will extract all the files from all six files one after the other. You only have to run one file to get all files extracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including (to the best of my understanding) mesh. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy74 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I have tried to download the six from my account at FSS. The first file downloaded fine but the next one (after two goes and nine hours......!!! ?) told me there was nothing inside it when I tried to open it!! I have "download manager" and use it for all of my Orbx downloads but this one has been nothing but a headache and HUGE waste of time for me!!! I will just have to wait for my "media copy" in snail mail! So I guess it will turn up some time next year.....? There is no way i am going to bother with Vector until I get my copy of FS 2010.

jpreou Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Its a split zip. Think of those six files as just one file. Just download all files into the same folder. Then unzip just the first ZIP; it will need to have all those other files in the same location and will unpack everything from each one in one go; just as if it is one file. Suggest also that you unzip to a new folder rather than unzip to "here"; it will make life easier. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy74 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi Jeff, I have tried that but it keeps putting the file PILOTSFSG2010FTX.z01 into my "programs" file -under downloads- and then when i try to unzip the first PILOTSFSG2010FTX.zip file it tells me "An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file.... BLAH, BLAH, BLAH......... So then i try to just place the PILOTSFSG2010FTX.z01 into the PILOTSFSG2010FTX.zip and it tells me "Improper us of multi-volume ZIP file" I never thought it could be soooo complicated if it is broken into six parts to help with downloading..... Sometimes things are just not to be easy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpreou Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Dunno. I used Internet Download Manager. All files downloaded into the same folder. Then I right-clicked the main ZIP and said "Extract to folder <foldername>" (where 'foldername' was the name of the ZIP file). I used a registered copy of WinZip. It all came out good.

FSRobert Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 For myself at the moment I only got the first file. The others simply will not download seems like broken links.

Tomesk Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi Rob (de Vries) and everyone, Just a correction, FTX regions do NOT have their own mesh. Cheers Dan "FTX Full regions provide one stop solutions to all 4 layers... They provide mesh, landclass data, textures and vector data to give maximum detail."

wolfko Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yes correct, all regions come with custom mesh except for Ireland and N-Ireland. But for the rolling hills there no extra mesh is required anyway. The dafult FSX mesh is detailed enough for this kind of landscape without any spiky peaks. Ah yes, and for Australia there is Holger Mesh. Cheers, Wolfgang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper9t3 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I just finished downloading all six files without a glitch using Internet Download Manager. Not sure why you are having problems in Stockholm??? Can anyone advise on the best location to unzip this package? Does it need to be unzipped into the main simulator folders? I run both FSX and P3Dv2 on separate SSD drives. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper9t3 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 If I recall correctly they were all megafire links.

jimhenn Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 To unzip the files don't use 7Zip, use WinZip or WinRAR trial or paid versions of the latest version. I got errors extracting with 7Zip then used WinZip 18 Trial and extracted fine. Mesh then installed fine. Put all files in the same folder then unzip.

jpreou Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Looks like a corrupt download to me, or the fact it appears you are using Windows unzip. Never use Windows unzip for large files. Very unreliable. Suggest you try WinZip, WinRAR or 7-Zip. All are good. Trial versions work fine, but you may later elect to purchase. Can't remember whether 7-Zip is free; think it might be for personal use. I use a paid copy of WinZip. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonner Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 It looks to me that you're using Microsoft's built in ZIP support. My advice: don't use it, stick to a recent version of WinZip or even better, WinRar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I only used a "trail" version all those years ago. I will get it again and let you know how i get on. I have also noticed that my "Internet Download Manager" does not want to work when I down load the other .z files? I get the default IE11 or Chrome download managers?

FSRobert Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Great news from me. At the moment I am file#2 and all is going well.
