Hello,

Yes, you can access legacy client updates from the downloads page. However only the latest scenery and content installers are available.

Hello Rob,

If I upgrade only the "client" will my existing Add-on's remain "as is" and un-effected?

You may realise I am pretty new to this and am terrified of messing my existing scenery and other add-on's I have invested more than 4000 USD in add-on's.

I have read that updating the "client" only is the least troublesome option?

any help much appreciated
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

That depends on how the add-on is installed. In most cases a client update should leave add-ons unaffected. Some add-ons may not be compatible with certain versions so if you run into any specific issues contacting the developers or seeing if there is an update is a good first step.
