February 13, 201511 yr Use a download manager like IDM.

February 13, 201511 yr If all the above fails, it's worth turning off your aniti virus while you download and extract the files as some can cause file corruption. Remember to turn it back on afterwards. That said, a good download manager solves 99.9% of corruption issues.
February 13, 201511 yr Tried 3 times and mine failed on extraction each time. First time 3 CAB files were corrupted, but the last time only 1 was. I then downloaded that CAB file on its own from Prepar3D, put it together with the other files that did download ok, and voila! I used a DL manager - winfast i think its called? Kept failing me though. It was a pain from start to finish getting this update. Next time i will line up the individual file downloads although tis "not recommended" Rob BatesSimming since the age of 10 with MSFS 5.0 P3D v5.0 | 10700K (@stock) | EVGA GTX1080Ti SC2 | Z490-E ROG STRIX | 32GB 3600MHz | 970 EVO Plus M.2 & EVO 850 SSDs | H115i cooling | NZXT H440 Case | Samsung 32" CJG 1440p Curved Monitor | Virtual-Fly Ruddo & TQ3+ | Thrustmaster FCS Sidestick | Skalarki MCDU Ask me about (my most flown): FSLabs A320-X series | MaddogXIn the hangar: Majestic Q400 Pro | PMDG 747 | A2A C182, Cherokee, Comanche & Spitfire
