Pascal Dumat's Chateau scenery - corrupt files?

[delta_lima]

Hello,

For those who don't know, his work is awesome: here is his site:

http://p.dumat.pagesperso-orange.fr/htm/chateaux.htm

His 4 chateau are gorgeous bits of VFR work that will make a break away from fast jets very worth while.

I had these working in FS9, and could no longer find my original zips - so I went to his site. Re-downloaded them (and each chateau has it's own instructional pdf).

Trouble is, the zips appear to be corrupt/invalid - I can't open them. Anyone else find this?

The packages were ABSOLUTE A-1 scenery quality, so I'd love some help putting them into FSX - for which they were originally designed.

Many thanks, et vive la France!

Nope. All files downloaded and extracted OK. Started each installer to see if they worked and they did.

Delta Lima which version of Winzip are you using? Some older version from Winzip do have problems to unzip files which are zipped by newer compression methods.

Cheers,

I'm using Winzip v14.5. I tried WinRar, nothing - doesn't like these files.

weird, because I had them running in fs9 two years ago ... strange.

That's indeed odd. Like "NoNewMessages" I can open de zip files and run the executables without any problem. With your version of Winzip you should be able to unzip any archive. What I can offer you is to unpack and repack them for you and send them to you by e-mail.

Just PM me you e-mail address and I will send them asap.

Cheers,
Huub
