I've had the corrupt download before too. It looks like you have the file, but it didn't completely download.

G'DAMN IT ANYWAY!!!! I KNEW this wasn't going to go easy! Every single one of the airport elevation corrections that was in Vector is gone after the update. Yes, the Auto-Configurator gets most of them, but there were a whack of airports I had in there that were not caught by it, and I had to add them manually. I don't even remember now what or where they were. Jeeeezzzz. Is it too much to ask to have an installer that doesn't destroy everything that has come before it? Man.

Sorry for the rant, but this is getting to be really "old" now. "Patch a product then go in and fix everything the patch UNdid."

Yep, happens everytime PILOTS updates VECTOR.  Although ORBX sells it PILOTS is the author and in the usual teutonic fashion it seems its their way or the hi-way!  I'm re-running the Autoconfig now but as you say those cute little corrections that require the manual method are all gone again!  I gave up 'bitchin' about it to PILOTS cause' they aint' gonna listen!!!!!

One thing at least is, if you have the list of the GLOBAL Freeware Airports from Taph (and others), it points out which of those need the VECTOR manual adjustments.

I may need to retract my previous post above. I just noticed that I had not ran the Autoconfig with VECTOR 1.35. (AEC Disabled) side was blank after updating to 1.35. So I ran the routine and then checked the ICAO for airports in the FTX Global Freeware airports that are marked as having to be disabled in Vector. All were already in the disabled side of Vector after running the Autoconfig routine. Of course these are ORBX approved airports and could have been included as disabled with the Autoconfig routine with v1.35. Those airports that the user discovers as needing to be disabled may or may not be included in the Autoconfig routine. Like you I can't remember which ones I had disabled previously so can't really say the latest version of Vector had disabled those.

Yep, I concur. All my Orbx airports (including all the Norwegian airports) were populated in the elevation correction window, so it's good on this end. Hopefully it covered all of them, but we'll see.

Thanks for this.
