FSDTLive Updater

<< < (2/3) > >>

sticky1202:
Ok, so the updater will only update the AFCAD if FSDT updates it from the previous version. Not EVERYTIME the updater is run. So if I customize KORD for example in its current form, Live Update will not overwrite it until FSDT updates the AFCAD in the future if needed, correct?

Mr_LoL:
Get the AFCAD right first time so you don't have to keep fixing things then.
AT JFK with the last update I downloaded, the gates at terminal 7 are too small for the BA 747's to park there.
At Charlotte, the Cargo ramps are too small which means Fedex planes have to park at the terminal.
You guys seem to struggle big time with decent afcads. One only has to look at the rubbish that was released with updated Vegas.
Things are getting shoddy.

This doesn't make any sense: you are denying us the very ability to fix things ?

It's now FIXED, using the Live Update, of course.

Which has been fixed with the Live Update, immediately after it was reported. That was JUST a corrupted file on the server, it can happen. The point is, having a method to fix things quickly. The Live Update, of course.

And you are suggesting we should stop updates or (like others are saying), letting you block the updater ? You can, as clearly explained in the thread I've linked, but you shouldn't.

No. The updater checks the checksum each file so, if a file on your local drive is *different* than the one we have on the update server, it will update but, if it's the AFCAD, it will first make a backup in the scenery\backup folder, so you can then have the option to have a look at both files, and decide what do to which can be any of the following:

1) Restore your old file

2) Keep the updated one

3) Compare both files and merge the changes.

The choice is yours.

If you think that doing #1 is too much work, because by default you only trust your own AFCAD, just use the "dontupdate" file method explained in the thread linked above, so this will prevent any updates of that folder.

Mr_LoL:
All I am saying is try and get it right first time. Stop putting words in my mouth. Gee.
Stop giving yourself a pat on the back for fixing shoddy crap you've been releasing lately.
How about making sure all your afcads are 100% working BEFORE releasing them Mr Colapicchioni. Test them properly and get your head out of your ass for a change.
