May 30, 20179 yr The real wait will start when you pay your money,and find out that the server went down due to the thousands of people trying to download V4 all at once.
May 30, 20179 yr Since I will almost certainly require a GPU with significantly more VRAM than my 2GB GTX770, I will not be purchasing on day one. However, I am really looking forward to reading reports from all of you.

May 30, 20179 yr I'm sitting in an airport terminal heading to Houston, so won't be able to get my hands on V4 until I return home Friday. At least I'll avoid the probable heavy load on LM's servers from the initial download rush this afternoon!

Assuming v4 is the same as v3, do you download a a small management app that then downloads everything else, or do we download the whole caboodle in one go ? Steps to Download and Install Prepar3D v4, In this order (Same as v3) First, Insure you have at Least 12 gigs of free space on your C-Drive Operating System, You can Install v4 on an Drive you like but you will still need this extra space for the Repair Installers on your C-Drive 1) Use a Download Manager to download the v4 file, They are free and will aid in a successful download 2) Use a proper Extract tool to Extract the Zipped folder, Something like 7zip, Its free and this tool will tell you if your download is bad 3) Add the Prepar3D_Setup.exe from inside your download folder to your Exclusions Zone of your Antivirus Software (Important) 4) Disable UAC (User Account Control) Drag down to Never Notify 5) Right Click on Prepar3D_Setup.exe and Run as administrator If you intend to Install 3rd Party Software (Add On's) for Prepar3D v4, You will be best to Install Outside of the default Install Location "Program Files" You can Click Options during the Install process, Create and Name a folder and Install v4 there (Insure you have enough space to Install v4 in this location)
