![]() The plan is to also eventually allow in-place updating without needing to download a new installer when a new point release is published of the LTS - the idea is to download only the changed files (incremental updates). This installer has the ability to download more than 2GB of compressed content, and avoids the 2GB limit of the current innosetup installer configuration. Slawek and James have been working on a new FlightGear Windows installer that will download most of the content from the web in compressed form - e.g. If no 2020.3 install is present according to the registry, or the folders have been deleted, the web installer will download FlightGear-2020.3.x-data.txz - which contains the full contents of the /data folder and is 1.7 GB currently.TXZ archives can be opened with a tool like 7zip. The current compressed file format is TXZ - XZ compression after combining all files into an uncompressed tar archive. This contains files in the /data folder that have changed since the first 2020.3 release. If an old 2020.3.x install is present according to the Windows registry, and the folders have not been deleted or renamed, the web-installer will download FlightGear-2020.3. the Sourceforge 2020.3 release folder.It contains the contents of the /bin folder - like executable (.exe) files and library files (.dll). The Windows web-installer is called FlightGear-2020.3.x-web.exe.If you are on Windows you should use the web-installer for faster download and install - be sure to back up any changes due to tinkering you may have done to the /data folder. This Windows web-installer ( Sourceforge download) can update any old 2020.3.x install by downloading a small ~200 MB package containing all content files changed since the first release. See 2020.3.9 LTS change log - included are improved regional definitions for Mediterranean Africa, improvements to shallow ocean water and inland water in certain areas, improvements to ATC dialog etc. 9 LTS has been released and includes a web-installer for Windows that can update old 2020.3.x versions faster by downloading only changed files.
