    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Problem with two Air France textures in A2A zip file

Two or three days ago there were several of JK's textures for the WoS L-049 Connie posted on this site. They are intended for use, apparently, primarily in P3D but should work in FSX.

I downloaded six of these textures and all installs functioned flawlessly with one exception, the Air France download (JK_A2A_Constellation_Air_France.zip). Installation resulted in the following sequence:

-check both boxes for transfer to FSX aircraft file, and get following msg in WinZip dialog box:

-Central and local directory mismatch for file "texture.JK_AirFranceA/Thumbnail.jpg" (crc-32 - local; 803DA5CC hex central: 72A500C7 hex).

-Press OK and get following action - Extracting Thumbnail.jpg.

-WinZip window opens with: Would you like WinZip to try to continue with the next file?

-Select "Yes"

-Get following msg in WinZip dialog box: Unable to find the local header for texture.JK_AirFranceB\L049_1_t.dds.

-Press OK and get following action - Extracting L049_1_t.dds. Action stalls at scroll.

-WinZip window opens with: Would you like WinZip to try to continue with the next file?

-Select "Yes"

-Get following msg in WinZip dialog box: Unable to find the local header for texture.JK_AirFranceB\049_1_t_spec.dds.

-Press OK and get following action - Extracting L049_1_t_spec.dds. Action stalls at scroll.

-WinZip window opens with: Would you like WinZip to try to continue with the next file?

-Select "Yes"

-Get following msg in WinZip dialog box: Unable to find the local header for texture.JK_AirFranceB\stairs_t.dds.

-Press OK and get following action - Extracting stairs_t.dds. Action stalls at scroll.

-WinZip window opens with: Would you like WinZip to try to continue with the next file?

-Select "Yes"

-Get following msg in WinZip dialog box: Unable to find the local header for texture.JK_AirFranceB\texture.cfg

-Press OK and get following action - Extracting texture.cfg. Action stalls at scroll.

-WinZip window opens with: Would you like WinZip to try to continue with the next file?

-Select "Yes"

-Get following msg in WinZip dialog box: Unable to find the local header for texture.JK_AirFranceB\Thumbnail.jpg.

-Press OK and get following WinZip dialog box - WinZip encountered problems during this operation. Would you like to view the detailed results of the last operation showing the specific error(s) encountered?

-Select "Yes"

-Following data appears:

Severe Error: Local and central CRC values don't match.

Sorry about the length of this but wanted to be sure I completely illustrated what was happening. Don't know if this is due to the settings on my machine or a flaw w/WinZip or the file itself.
 
Hello,

I also downloaded the AF texture yesterday evening (French time) and the extract went smoothly !

I also asked Winzip to test the archive. Maybe you should retry the download ?

Only thing I've done is to redownload the .zip file, thinking there was something that somehow corrupted the original download. The newly-downloaded file got the same result the original one did.
 
I checked, and apparently there was bug with the zip file. I am uploading a new version as I type, could you check if that is better? I can unzip it myself this time, whereas the previous gave errors here too.
 
Hello,

I have a very old Winzip which apparently don't care about these discrepencies, but 7Zip is complaining with similar errors you have found.

I should probably envisage to update my Winzip :(

Lesson learned !

I'll take a quick look in the library for the new file, but wanted to take this opportunity to make sure you don't hear anything but beefs. Thanks for all the wonderful textures, so well done, make flying this bird a real pleasure.
