November 21, 200322 yr Summat funny up. When I download the Balearic mesh recently uploaded, all I find when I unzip it is the dreaded "Hello, I'm Avsim, fly me" file. Yet the zip says it's full of 5MB of stuff.I remember reading something about how some files hide occasionally, but I've got everything ticked in my VIEW FILE options i.e hidden, system, etc. What am I missing, apart from a life? Thanks in advance. I orta fly Majorca.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg _________________________ Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumont VP Fleet, DC-3 Airways Team Member, MAAM-SIM
November 21, 200322 yr Author Can't blame Majorca ... it's happening with one or two other downloads as well, but not all. I run Windows XP Home.Whassapenin'? ZIP files show content under PROPERTIES, but unzip to show nothing but FILE-ID or README file.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg _________________________ Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumont VP Fleet, DC-3 Airways Team Member, MAAM-SIM
November 21, 200322 yr Well I guess you'll have to download it once more. I'm having the same problem with the Bosnia mesh, which I've already tried to dl twice, still doesn't work...-Daniel
November 21, 200322 yr Commercial Member The mention of the Bosnian mesh reminded me -- I used WinRAR to open this because of the same problem.
November 21, 200322 yr Commercial Member ...on the other hand, maybe I should have recognised this as 'Someone trying to tell me Something.'Since installing the Bosnian mesh my Bosnian girlfriend has been busy exploring, and I can't get near the simulator.NOW she's talking about improving the scenery a bit -- I may as well forget this hobby and take up gardening...
November 21, 200322 yr Author Thanks NOprob!Couldn't find the file in New Zealand but a search on Googlywoogly brought it up pronto. Worked a treat.But why? Is it that files were compressed with that in the first place or something? Why does neither Windows nor Winzip recognise such ZIP files (not for me, anyway)? Very weird. Must be a full moon or something. Anyway, thanks again.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg _________________________ Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumont VP Fleet, DC-3 Airways Team Member, MAAM-SIM
