What do you mean, "what's Wing42"? Wing42 is the next big thing after the invention of powered flight!

I'm stressed out for weeks about this update. This will be a big load off my back, I'm really anxious to read the replies.

Hey Vitus, I read the install instructions and am not sure if we should uninstall the prior version before updating.

Thanks,
LouP

**speedy70** · April 6th, 2019, 06:01

Lou.
It clearly states that you must uninstall the previous version before installing the 085 version.

**LouP** · April 6th, 2019, 06:13

Thanks, must have skimmed right by that.

**Vitus** · April 6th, 2019, 06:20

TLDR: Yes! It is definitely required for you to uninstall the old version first!

Detailed explanation if you're interested:
The reason is that there are changes to the file structure, to keep the installation size low I am trying to share resources like textures as much as I can, which is why there's now a new folder called "Wing42 Lockheed Vega shared" in your airplane folder. In there you'll find the sound files, panels and gauges and common textures. If you don't install your previous installation first, those old common textures will remain in the "Wing42 Lockheed Vega 5/textures" folder, and thus your model will load these files, instead of the new ones.

Thank you Vitus, really looking forward to this, tremendous effort!

On the Wing42 website, click on "my account" (the little silhouette of a head in the upper right). Assuming you're logged in, that takes you to your account page, where one of the options should be "my downloads." 0.85 should be there, along with your order number. Hope this helps.

Got it, thanks. My login would not work however. Had to reset.

Mine did, not sure why. But I just discovered I'd never set up a forum login - or if I did, it's no longer valid. And apparently the forum isn't accepting new registrations, which is probably a side effect of the spam cleanup. Not a big issue, but I guess that if I have tech problems or questions in the near term, I'll have to hijack this thread. Apologies in advance if I abuse anybody's patience. Speaking of which - I know Otmar has his hands full at the moment, so I'm happy to wait for the forum and all the other things to settle down.
