Here is my experience and hope it will help the people who are not doing this all the time and gets lost in the process of downloading the files.
1. The MAP on this site really works. Read the instruction and select only the ones with the meta file. Don't bother trying your luck.
2. You must be prepared to spent quite a bit of time to do try and error. Don't expect to just download and install like you do elsewhere.
3. There are going to be pop ups when you download. Just close them. In most cases you will see the screen you want under them. If you don't see what you want go back and select the dowload again.
4. Don't expect Tenderdrive to help you with your download. He makes more statements than giving you help because everything for him is NO SWEAT!! armandtanzarian started this download problem because he, like all the new comers, is confused in view of those popups. We would SWEATED clicking on any of those popups especially the stuff that's not English. I wish Tenderdrive had told me how to get rid of the Usernet screen when I asked him for help especially he already know SchlieBen on the Usernet screen means close.
5. As I repeated a few times, the stuff on this site is pretty good. However, getting to it is very difficult for the new comers. People ask the simple questions because most people don't want to click away and run the risk of getting the virus. Instead of spending the time debuting every item on my post, it would be so much more helpful to spend the time providing the answers. A simple list of 5 - 10 unexpected situation will really help.
1. Great advice. Same as posted in the "Download Instructions" in
"All New Maps XXX/XXX.XXXX" post1 & "XXX/XXX Map Collections Only!!" post 2.2. There is no trial & error, if you follow the "Download Instructions" in
"All New Maps XXX/XXX.XXXX" post 1 or "XXX/XXX Map Collections Only!!" post 2.3. If you follow the "Download Instructions" in
"All New Maps XXX/XXX.XXXX" post 1 or "XXX/XXX Map Collections Only!!" post 2., there is only a Usernet pop-up, which only covers about half of the screen. Click SchlieBen on the Usernet pop-up to close it.
4. The carefully worded, detailed "Download Instructions" in
"All New Maps XXX/XXX.XXXX" post 1 & "XXX/XXX Map Collections Only!!" post 2. are there for the benefit of all members, when a MOD isn't available. How to close a pop-up, window, screen or whatever you want to call it, is
BASIC computer knowledge, regardless of what language it is in.
5. Following the carefully worded, detailed "Download Instructions" in
"All New Maps XXX/XXX.XXXX" post 1 & "XXX/XXX Map Collections Only!!" post 2. covers the issues listed in this point 5.
