What is the latest release?

(1/2) > >>

Fardel:
Hello,
It happened several times, to me and other friends, to ask for help about some problems but the initial reply is that we have not installed the latest release.
I looked on the FSDreamTeam web but could not find a page which shows all the latest versions of software of all prodocts.

Other SH have a page dedicated to this, in order to avoid doubts about the state of the art and I think this could help us in this contest for a better support.

What do you think about it?

Thank you

Paolo

Bruce Hamilton:
Just download the installer from the product page, you'll always get the latest version because half the files are retrieved online from servers.

Fardel:
Yes I know this, but if there is the number of last release on the web I know if I must re download or not and so I have always the last release.

And I should not download the software every to days to have the simulator always updated if there are no changes. I have hundreds of scenarios and if I download all scenarios to be sure to be updated I would do just that. And so I should not download a scenario that I have already updated

This could also be on a Forum page indicating which is state of the art.

This is only a contribution for the best of service.

That's *precisely* the reason why the installers download lots of files when they run AND why there's a Live Update system in our products. So you won't HAVE to redownload the installer so often.

But depending how old your last full installation was, it might be best to download the latest installer again. As a general rule, if your full installer came with Couatl 2.x, you should redownload the installer. If it comes with Couatl 3.x (so it's an installer released after August 2015), it should be enough to let it update with the Live Update without redownloading again.

And of course, when there's a new sim released, like P3D V3, if you need to install there, you must download the latest installers too.

Fardel:
Ok it is all right but I think that if there was a summary page with the latest version shown would be of great help.

Thanks for your patience
