Just a datum-point for you there are people out there who will do without just because the EULA or TOU/TOS are just too much. I still haven't purchased Diablo 3, and have no intention of doing so. Diablo 3 required always-online access, even in single-player mode. if I'm coming in to update from 11.1 to 11.5, will the patch system intelligently grab the changed files, or will it bring the rev level to 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, then 11.5? I know this is off-the-cuff, but off-the-cuff these are issues to consider.Īnother quick edit: one point of reference for you: I have played Diablo games, and purchased these in Battle Chest / Collectors / Enhanced Super Mega versions since Diablo came out. Quick edit: also, WRT #3, is this going to be smart enough to do versioned diff-patches? E.g. You're moving to a diff-patch system (good diff-patches are obviously smaller).Īlso, I saw your response earlier. If you're not connected (or are blocking X-Plane traffic), you won't get automatic updates. You can fly the plane without being connected to the Internet. There is a lot of factors we have to consider. It is for installation/updating only so after downloading the aircraft/installation if you delete the plugin it should work correctly, but you will not get the update automaticaly - one will be released tomorrow and it updates only files that changed so it should be much quicker that downloading all togeather.īut it is true we are considering the use of this technology for future aircrafts and sceneries and it will be carefully considered if it will be global or local. That's the file version of the concept of a sandbox. You wouldn't have to hide that file if it were stored in your aircraft folder. The problem you just reported is another example of why global plugins, variables and config files are a bad idea. You haven't even admitted that that's what you're doing. You are asking for an incredibly privileged role in X-Plane and offering absolutely no indication of the effect or making a case for the need. I haven't tested how much that drains resources but I don't see how you can do that to our systems without testing it yourselves and posting the results. You could just make a download of the updated plane available. With this global plugin you're asking that our computers run a Java Runtime the entire time we are flying X-Plane.

Is there something wrong with a standalone installer or one that only runs when I'm flying one of your planes. Please just say what you're doing you don't even provide an install log. I think honesty is the least you owe someone from whom you ask money. It's reminiscent of Gizmo but at least that global plugin had a recognizable name. If you had asked I could have politely said no. I consider it a breech of protocol to install a global plugin on my system without a hint that you are installing something that runs all of the time, whether I'm flying your plane or not.
