I can't seem to find the answer to this. I have the auto updater installed and all my aircraft are up to date. Now let's say I purchase another accusim bird, say the b17 for arguments sake. I install the b17 and accusim. Will the auto updater automatically run the next time I start fsx or will it automatically start once it recognizes the b17 + accusim installed on my computer?

No you have to run it again, it's not an automatic updater at all, why on earth they call it that I have no idea. It's a small web installer that automatically downloads only the updates you need. It literally saves them download bandwidth and that's it.
cheers,

Maybe because calling it a "semi-automatic updater" is a little too provocative. :lol:

That's misleading. So then basically they will just post messages on when to run the auto updater. Doesn't seem much different then the way it was before but if it saves them time I guess every second saved is a second soone to the next release.

Try this alternate updater for the Spitfire. Let me know if this solves your issue:

Hi Scott

Will I need to run this now that I have it working ok with the core update 1.6 that I got from another customer? If so, do I have to delete the files/folders you listed before and reinstall then apply the alternate updater over the original aircraft and accusim installs or can I just apply the alternate updater directly over what I have installed at the moment?

Thanks

Todd

The updater is automatic in the sense that once you run it, the updater will find your A2A aircraft and update them if needed, if you choose to.

Hey guys its also saving you bandwidth, as you only download and update whats needed in stead of the usual all updates for all aircraft yet only install what you have.

Andy, even in your desrcription of the updater you used the word "automatic". ;)

Hi Scott & Lewis

I have run the standalone Spitfire update that Scott posted on top of what was already installed and it seems to have completed with no problems.

Thanks

Very nice update system. Been so busy and never have a chance to check for updates. This made it very nice. One thing though, as the updater check for aircraft on my system i swear I heard in the back ground Booooooo when I did not have a paticular aircraft (also heard one voice say buy it in the back ground) Haha, I should have them all but do enjoy the ones I do have. Thanks again for making it a little easier to stay on top of things in my hanger.

Happy Jim

When I went to install the update it found the C172 but then I got the following "An Error Occurred, Unable to check for updates, Server File Failed to Load". Any idea what might be going on or how to correct?

Hi

I have very weak internet on my home PC where my flight sim is located. I have tried the remote download option mentioned at the beginning of the thread but non of the aircraft are located by the update. Any idea what I have done incorrectly.

Thank you

Richard
