• Redesign the base package downloader with a clearer package list, corrected download size totals, and direct base package folder selection.

• Improve base package download reliability by downloading selected packages sequentially, reusing aria2c safely, recovering from incompatible resume data, and fixing cancellation and retry issues.

• Correctly detect and support downgrading to an older base package version.

• Restore the previous base package selection after disabling the X-Plane 12 original base package.

I decided to use the "X-Plane 12 original base package" because I was "tired" of getting updates to the various base packages quite often, but I am tempted to try the PME-native base Packages, because they're optimized in terms of more up to date OSM data, I guess...

I know some of you don't like the base idea behind it, but I really enjoy what PME does for X-Plane 12 !

I got a lot OOVM CTD with MEP recently and I suspect it's something to do with it's basepack, let me see if it's fixed.

For many airport in southwest mountainous area of China, their basepack are much better to get a nice sloped runway on the mountain side rather than totally unusable jagging runway or a big area with unnaturally flat square(thus very jagging boundary)

interesting Ive never had one with the tool.

ME is causing CTD very often - no support from dev. so uninstalled

interesting. I have updated ME and have zero problems.

Not sure if related to MEP because I had made a few flights already without experiencing CTD s but today experienced One. Was using the Toliss 32N, flight from Madrid to Lisboa and had Aldo installed Orbx Global Trees. I also have SimHeaven.

For those with OOM and other problems, you don't have to uninstall - simply don't start it before Xp12.

Without MEP i have zero CTD, MEP is unstable and something causes crashes - prefer to fly without MEP and experience a full flight

Have you tried just activating the package your using at the time rather than having them all active? Such as North America or Europe or where ever you happen to be flying?

Does it make any real difference or is it your blind shot?
