I have no issue login to the forum here and downloading from this thread just want to clarify that even if I skipped certain dates when updates were posted my software is all up to date. Is my software 100% up to date at this time on Sep 7 after not downloading updates released on earlier dates
Of course, the latest version includes all fixes released since the first release. It's basically a snapshot of what the current Addon Manager folders should look like after a Live Update.
HOWEVER, these fixes are just for the GSX code, the thing that might cause problems if they are not updated. Extras like updated textures or new logos or new models are not included, they are only in the actual Live Update.
I seriously prefer not to use the installer/updater that has shortcut on my desktop, it does something constantly after every time i click UPDATE BUTTON "perpetual updater" and I recall reading earlier that it might actually might downgrade GSX so yeah until cloud is 100 fixed I am not using it.
It depends which files your are referring to. Some files ( Airport services and jetway replacement .bgl ) ARE supposed to be always downloaded without this being a problem, because we found out it's faster to just redownload them all in a single ZIP file, rather than checking individually over thousands of files which are new.
