Update system

Post by BiologicalNanobot »

Hi,

Updating to a new Prepar3D version is an extremely tedious process, requiring redownloading major components of the simulator each time when there is an update. Do you have plans to develop an update system so that updates can be automatically delivered without having to download a new version? Instead, users can launch the update application to update their Prepar3D installations to the latest version. Allowing users to only update components they want (Client, Content, Scenery) and using "deltas" in order to not change unnecessary files would be really nice for all users, it would reduce the bandwidth requirements of Prepar3D servers too.

Thanks in advance.

I agree, if the other new sim can acheieve this then im sure LM could do the same. It takes out all the stress and fiddling around. Please LM , look into this one.
