QUESTIONS:
My download speeds are slow?
Our servers are working fast 99.9% of the time (the same ones that house our online store), and if speeds at your location is slow, this means the slow down is not at our servers but somewhere between our servers and your location. The first time you run the update, it may download a few hundred megabytes of data (still less than our previous single large zip file). However, all future update will be smaller, so any long downloads now should be a one time experience.
My flight sim computer is offline. How do I get the updates?
In today�s world it�s becoming increasingly difficult to have any computer device not having Internet access. So we highly recommend you do whatever is necessary to get Internet access to your flight sim computer. However, if for whatever reason you just cannot get Internet access to your flight sim computer, follow the directions below:
1. Plug a USB drive into your offline flight simulator
2. On the USB drive, create a new folder called �FSX_Update"
3. Find the folder that FSX is installed and copy the following files to the "FSX Update" folder on your USB drive:
- fsx.exe (or prepar3d.exe for p3d users)
- A2A folder with all contents
- SimObjects Airplanes [any A2A aircraft] folders with all contents
- Create a Gauges folder and just copy the A2A_Accusim.dll to this folder
P-47 owners ONLY:
- Gauges [add any files or folders starting with "WoP3_P47...]
4. Once completed, you should see four objects: A2A, SimObjects, and fsx.exe (P-47 owners will have a GAUGES folder too)

5. Plug the USB drive into the online computer, then download and run the "A2A Update" then BROWSE for "FSX_Update" folder
6. Once completed, plug the USB drive into the offline flight simulator computer
7. Copy / paste the contents to your FSX installed directory, overwriting what is there
