For example when there is a red tinged sky at sunset everything including the ground objects have a strong red tinge. other times it can be yellow. Interesting to say the least and i have no doubt it will get corrected. V6 on the whole is pretty ...

Re: Update to 6.1XX

I redownloaded again, ran the new download and then it would abort starting the sim.

Thanks for the responses.

Re: Update to 6.1XX

Greetings,

The cont1.cab is present in the download after extracting.

My C drive has 700+ gigs free.

My D drive where V6 is installed has 1.1+ TB free.

is there any way to get .036 installed then install 6.1XX?

Thanks.

More than one computer?

I have been using P3dV4 on my laptop for some time. I recently bought a desktop computer and wish to install P3d on it as well. Am I permitted to do this as I will not be using both machines at the same time or is a 2nd purchase required? Thanks.
