Those of you who are having problems. 

Are you running any type of anti-xxxx software?  Disable it, if you can, before you start the download.
If you are running anti-xxxx software, which one?
What operating system are you running?  If you are running Windows 10, make sure you are not getting an update from Microsoft before you try and update the game.

Im running WIN7 and use Avira for my anti-xxxx software.

I turned off Avira and started the download again. The first 25-30 MB downloads in a few seconds (over 1 MB a second), then it will slow to about 100-130 KB a sec for the rest of the download.

Also, I flew with DX11 version last night and had a number of freezes and switched back to the DX9 version.

Bustr, are you saying we can customize the Hat switch positions for each aircraft?

You can change your views of each cockpit that correspond to the numpad key combinations. When you hit F10 it generates an hps text file in the planes directory. If you delete that file all your views return to the default from a first time install. If you use TR in more than 2-axis mode this won't matter while in VR I think you can map a rear 6 view to a key. I use TR in 2-axis mode which uses the views from the hps file as I pan my head around.

No need to split it.  Just ZIP it up.  It compresses really well.

I would rather see a DXDIAG output.

Are you running any anti-xxx software?  If so, which one?

Sorry Skuzzy, my video card died so I haven't been to get on... just got a new one...
will try today  :salute

Started getting a few of the screen freezes but, not as many as before this patch test. They never happen offline and most seem to happen with loud noises, automated voices and VOX.

Same as with me...when alot of chatter mixed with explosions or gun fire..it WILL freeze up a bit(longest was 4 seconds).

Ran the update as follows:

Download took 6 mins 45 secs to complete.
Stdshapes.res took 45 mins to install @ avg 607kB\sec which is about normal download speeds of any files of this size across my ADSL connection.

Game opens, runs fine & exits fine under both Dx9 & Dx11 API's.

Have Webroot SecureAnywhere for Gamers along w\ Win 10' Windows Defender anti-xxx running in tandem in the background.....no signs of interference seen or noted during this process.
