Hi Emilios,

I ran into the same issue as the OP. This is a really strange way to do a download and install ... I can't think of any reason why we would ever want to have to download separate files and not have just a single download?

Granted it was my fault for skimming over the instructions, but regardless of fault, it's going to create support issues (as you can see from the threads). You can point the finger of blame on end users but that doesn't really get you out of having to respond to all these support issues and given that all your other airports had no such "additional file" requirements this process seems inconsistent with your other airports/scenery.

I realize it's a large file, but 3.2GB or combined 3.7 GB ... it's really not going to matter much in the grand scheme of downloading.

With that said, great airport and scenery, thank you for working this area, stunning!

Cheers, Rob.

thanks Rob, glad you like the scenery!

The installer had to be split in two parts because of the massive terrain data of 10cm/px resolution. Compressing .zip and .exe together in a single file is an 'insecure' option, while a single massive 3.7GB EXE is a no-go, compiling-wise. not much support trouble though so far..

Ok not sure I understand the "insecure" bit but doesn't matter ... scenery is fantastic, working on getting some video up later today in lovely 4K. The night lighting is superb!! Best I've ever seen of any scenery package and you nailed it with the HDR textures for P3D.

Gotta get word out on this beauty, stunning and performance it outstanding even with EVERYTHING enabled with PMDG 777 at BGGH ... yes I know it's shouldn't be there but was a performance test.

It seems you really figure out the night lighting in P3D, much improved over Copenhagen. Bottle and sell your technique to other 3rd party designers. ;)

Thanks again,

Cheers, Rob.
