I know I haven't posted in quite some time but felt compelled to put this in here. The installer is the best thing to happen to this airline since Luke came along. Luke you are something but, "Houston we have a problem!" When installing the 757-200 without any virus on you get, "Invalid URL!" Then it only installs the aircraft leaving the sound and everything out of the FSCONV.
The MD-88 my favorite plane you get the following: "ERROR-HTTP/1.1.404 NOT FOUND" invalid URL!
Same with the other aircraft as none have the cockpits or sound installed in the proper folder.

Know this will concern you and it will be fixed a a timely manner.

Thanks

Don

Also I need the person in charge of the 757 program to email me at d_leonard@scatcat.fhsu.edu, so I can take the captains exam and move into the Stage 3 aircraft. I tried the email address listed and it came back.

They don't have any panels installed either? That would be odd - since it appears that your problem relates to the fact that it cannot find the compressed sound package to download. Which aircraft does this happen with? Most importantly, what version are the installers? Go into Windows Explorer and select the properties for the installer EXE; there should be a tab called "Version".

If you or anyone else are having problems, what is the value for the "Build Date" property?

Cheers!

Not real sure if I understand exactly what you are wanting, but I went into Windows Explorer and all versions of the installers are current. The system I'm using is only about 1 1/2 months old. I've deactivated the pop-up that blocks the download, and tried to reload the 757 receiving the same error message. "INVALID URL" It will finish the load, it just won't load the sound file. Went back into the installer and saved the MD88 to the desktop, then ran it and received the same error message as before sound file error 404 can't be located. Is the download file supposed to say 2002 or 2004?

Thanks
