Hudson for Sale !

[Roger]

Well the first 1.8 gig download resulted in a bad zip, something about it being part of a spanned file but the file was 1.8 gig. So trying again... good old Fspilotshop. Don't use them as a rule due to their habit of charging to reactivate older downloads.

[Roger]

Second bad download: ! "d:\Users\R Law\Desktop\FSB-105.zip: Unexpected end of archive"

I'm using Orbit download manager that works fine with those big multi-gig ORBX downloads so I'm at a loss to understand this.

[stovall]

Roger, I used Internet Download Manager with no problem at all. It can be tried for free. Found easily with Google. Hope this helps.

[Ferry_vO]

Thanks for the heads-up Francois! Bought it today.

[Roger]

Finally got a good download with Ie Explorer and no download manager

[norab]

downloading now

[ncooper]

I would happily buy this aircraft but I have a metered internet connection (15gb per month) and
I cannot afford to download 1.8 GB.
I could easily manage the 400-500 MB that the original is, if there was a way?

Regards,
Nick.

As did Roger, I purchased and twice tried to download the 1.8 GB file. But unlike Roger, when I tried a third time the FSPilotshop simply shut me down and asked for $5.00 to reactivate the account. All within one hour.

I have sent in a ticket. But this is a sad business model that FSPilotshop has in place.

And now we need a good Dutch repaint! :-)

*GROAN*

I am having a bad migraine attack, so I wasn't aware of the posts here since yesterday, sorry. Those of you with download problems, please shoot me an email..... not sure why it should be 1,8 Gb ?????????? My files are only 400 and 150 Mb large....

Anyway, have you let Adam Howe of FS Pilot Shop know? I'll shoot him a message too.....

Last but not least: when people have downloadproblems at my OWN shop, I always recommend the www.freedownloadmanager.org. Solves the problems every time.

Please get in touch so I can solve your issues.

I downloaded and installed it, but how do you persuade it to download? Do you set it to default somehow?

[Francois]

When you have it run in the background, it picks up any download you start through your browser. It can of course do a lot more, but that's the essential part of it, and the easiest way to use it. It will keep track of interruptions itself, and continue the download automatically.

Two 800 mb files for Fsx and P3D, one 160 mb expansion pack and a 50 mb paintkit, but all paintkits are already included in the basepack installers as well.

I thought it was the hudson A320 that was put up for sale, unfortunately I was wrong

[Francois]

A320? That sounds more like an Airbus ..... hhmmppfff

[Francois]

Hmmm..... I sell it differently in my own shop apparently..... maybe the zip file went wrong there somehow.. will check it out

[DaveB]

I bought the Hudsons via Simmarket in a previous sale. Hovering the mouse over both zips.. the main package is 398mb and the expansion pack is 119mb. No idea why the filesizes from FSPS are so big??

Thank you.

What a fun plane to fly! Lovely!

Bought it and tested yesterday, beautiful model indeed I donwloaded the package, as usual, without any download helpers (I have a 100Mb connection) and zip file was OK.

[Francois]

I think FS PilotShop have all files in one zip file...... that might explain the large size.

[JensOle]

I bought it just for the Lodestar...

[CavOk]

Beautiful repaints there Jens, any chance you could update the RAF Hudsons as some have the wrong roundels or non at all?

That is true. There are two main installers, for FSX and P3D (although I think there is no practical difference and P3D installer can be pointed to FSX location, too). Also the expansion pack is included

[expat]

I bought it just for the Lodestar...

I did - this week - for the same reason! But I like the Hudsons a lot too. Any Lockheed twin (any Lockheed) has a place in my hangar.

Be great to have some 50's era corporate/VIP paints (if anyone is up for it - I can't paint sadly).
