[RESOLVED] P3D v4.3 full download checksum

[rbricker]

Something strange is happening with the zip file in the recommended full download of Prepar3d v4.3. After downloading, the size and the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file didn't match the website indicated values:

LM website: size 12.3GB; MD5 checksum: e7584e2b674f19033e25c31c08aad311
downloaded file: size 12.6GB; MD5 checksum: bf1dc1063982c79a444e63e1213b3afa

First obvious idea: something went wrong with my download.
But, before downloading again that huge zip file, I tested the downloaded one with the 7zip program. The test result was Ok. Then, I extracted the files in that zip file and all the 13 expected files (cont1.cab, cont2.cab, ...) extracted without a hitch. Moreover, the sizes and the MD5 checksums of each and everyone of the extracted files have the exact values indicated for them at the website.

Would the size and the checksum information for the Prepar3d v4.3.29.25520 full download zip file be wrong? I wouldn't like to go ahead with the update or full install before clarifying this point.

Thank you janvaane. Your link helped me figure out that the academic version has the correct file size (12.6GB) indicated at the website. I'm sorry I didn't indicate that my problem was with the professional version. So, the question (put in a more precise way) still holds: Would the size and the checksum information for the Prepar3d v4.3.29.25520 Professional full download zip file be wrong?

Hello,

The website had incorrect values listed and has been updated. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Rob. I'm glad I didn't download the file multiple times before clarifying the point.
