Where to download EPICINFO5?

[shorthauler]

Hey Peter, I finally made the move to FSX. Now I am looking for where to download EPICINFO5. I did a search on this website, but I did not find anything. Can you help? Which is the latest version?

 

Best regards,

Holger

Did you look in the Download Links subforum? It's definitely there. That subforum is where you find links to downloads. That's why is it called "download Links". ;-)

Yes, I did look there. And I went back and clicked all the links I found there, but not EPICINFO5.

 

Best,

Holger

Why click links which aren't actually called EPICINFO5? The links are actually tied to what they say, you know.

Anyway I suggest you look again. You were obviously in the wrong thread, because it is most certainly there.

This is a screenshot of the Download Links subforum - 11 topics, none of them called EPICINFO5.

I'm certain that EPICINFO is useful :)

Didn't you look inside any topics at all? There's not one topic per possible download! The "Updated Modules" topic contain the most updated programs, like FSUIPC and WideFS. The "Useful additional programs" topic contains lots of old stuff as well. I think that's where you'll find EPICINFO5.

I can confirm this -- I just looked! ;-)

Good to hear, but did you also click on the link?

This is what I get:

The requested URL /beta/EPICINFO5_version_4941.zip was not found on this server.

Hmm. That's odd. It must have been lost last time SimFlight moved servers.

That might pose a problem, as I don't maintain or support it any more, not for many years. I'll see if I can find a copy in my archives.

I managed to retrieve the DLL itself and restore the link, but there's no sign of any documentation or anything else. The PC and backup systems here have changed a couple of times since that project was live. It is still "BETA" because it was never confirmed as working properly, not by any EPIC users (whom I hence assumed were extinct). By that time I had stopped using EPIC here for several years.

I should think it was only a conversion over from the earlier version, so your existing documentation should be applicable. But if not, I'm sorry but I haven't been able to support EPIC now for many years.
