For all of you Flanker test pilots...

It looks nice but I cannot get it to install properly. The msi installer will open, extract and decompress but as the window pops up indicating preparing to install, I get an Error 1719 Windows Installer service could not be accessed. I noticed that the winzip archive requires the password provided on the site's download page and I did download the second part of the file which is a z01 type file. Stumped & wondering if there's an issue/corruption with the installer?
 
Update-

I managed to get this package to work. It seems that the installer components only unpack properly with Winzip. I normally use the standard Windows unzip program or 7-Zip & sometimes WinAce to unzip different folders or installers but none of those would unpack the files without corrupting the installer. It's kind of a quirky setup with the 3 part files and the z01 file dependency for the main installer file.


As far as how the scenery is, on my aged system there's a bit of a FPS hit which is likely due to some of the high detail aircraft objects in various spots on the field. On higher end systems, this will likely make no difference. The only other issue is that the photoreal scenery is set up for spring/summer and not winter. The size of the photoreal area is quite large and stands out in the surrounding white winter snow of Russia as a large block of snowless ground. If you set the time & season for spring/summer, it's no issue.

Other than that, it's a masterpiece of freeware!
 
Somehow the download links won't work anymore :/
Yesterday evening I managed to download and install the FactorX package without any problems, and I must say I was impressed with what they did (all seasons photoreal textures + autogen... that rocks).
Tonight I can't download FactorX anymore... might be a problem with mediafire...
 
Kubinka Z25S Moscow
It is about 40 miles west of Moscow with the river Setun very nearby.

I was able to get the AI of Kubinka ---132 MB download---- but the other 2 parts of the base scenery are trouble for me.
I got just over half of part one and then disconnected. Could be my dialup is the culprit.

Faktor --- Minsk Mazowiecki. EPMM Poland. 157 MB download
I got this and it is installed. I like it.
