Scenery Upgrades

Last update: August 20, 2010

Note: A valid installation of the original release version of the scenery is required. The upgrade installer will not run if it cannot find a valid installation of the the original release version of the scenery. If you purchased the scenery and you receive the following error message: "KXXXvx.x.x not found", please re-install the original version before running the upgrade installer again.

Who needs to download and install a scenery version upgrade?

We recommend that you download and install the corresponding upgrade if the installer that you received when you purchased the scenery has a version number that is lower than the version number of the file posted here. You should not install an upgrade if the version number of your current installer is the same or higher than the one posted here. A detailed explanation of BluePrint's version numbers is given here.

Upgrades are not cumulative. For example, if you have v1.1.1 already installed, you need to install v1.2.1 followed by v1.3.1 and so on.

To download the upgrade installer please click on the desired file.
(Installation instruction can be found below.)

1 In FS2004, the default ground textures surrounding KRDU do not represent or resemble reality in any way. Consequently, seamless blending of the photo real ground textures with the surrounding terrain is IMPOSSIBLE. With the exception of the color pallet, please expect no match between the ground textures included in the FS2004 upgrade and the surrounding default textures!

* The upgrade installer contains high-resolution ground textures and it is 120MB in size.  A fast-speed internet connection is recommended.  This is not a cumulative upgrade. For the 1.3.x upgrade to work properly, you must have installed version 1.2.x either by receiving the full installer KCLEv1.2.x.msi upon purchasing the scenery or by applying the KCLE v1.2.x upgrade to the original KCLE v1.1.x.

** The upgrade installer contains high-resolution ground textures and it is 150MB in size. A fast-speed internet connection is recommended. This is not a cumulative upgrade. For the 2.3.x upgrade to work properly, you must have installed version 2.2.x either by receiving the full installer KRDUv2.2.x.msi upon purchasing the scenery or by applying the KRDU v2.2.x upgrade to the original KRDU v 2.1.x.

*** The upgrade installer contains high-resolution ground textures and it is 170MB in size. A fast-speed internet connection is recommended. This is not a cumulative upgrade. For the 1.3.x upgrade to work properly, you must have installed version 1.2.x either by receiving the full installer KIADv1.2.x.msi upon purchasing the scenery or by applying the KIAD v1.2.x upgrade to the original KIAD v1.1.x.

2. Run the installer by double-clicking on it.

2. Run the original installer and select the "Repair" option.
