Correct way to update the whole fleet after reinstall

Post by skyhawkii »

I reinstalled FSX and now have to install my a2a fleet (C172, C182, PA28, PA24, T6). What is the correct way to install all updates? Do I just need to install the latest update, or all in order from the beginning to the latest?

Hi,

You need the latest update only, to have all your aircraft up to date. Here is a link to the latest update.
I usually install the aircraft one by one and run the latest update after each newly installed.

Greetings.

As Will said, you just need to run the latest updater which he linked to.

For myself, I install all my A2A aircraft and run the updater last. It detects them one-by-one and updates as necessary.

Steve.

I do the same as Mr. bladerunner900, there is no need to complicate the thing, the installer is smart enough to do the job for all planes at once at the end of the process.

Of course, if you happen to get another plane after that, then install the plane and reapply the update and that is a very important step, so that there are no corrupted shared files.

I’ve done the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Just one thing I would like to add. Are you reinstalling on the same hard drive and windows install? If yes make sure you delete all the files that were left behind after uninstalling FSX.
