Title: Upgrading from 3.6.10 to 3.6.12
Post by: gamerman on January 01, 2011, 06:28:22 pm
What is the process I figure that i would need the new installer 5.5g and the scptrackir.dll  and the new 3.6.12 build ( downloaded) are there any files that need to be redownloaded ?

My CPU is SSE2 I downloaded the SSE2 version

thanks

You should grab the 3.6.12 MediaVPs as well. 


Assuming you are running FS2 and not another TC.

That is the Launcher, but yes.

the scptrackir.dll
Only if you want to use TrackIR stuff.

the new 3.6.12 build
Yes.

The new build (and if available, the latest Launcher) are the things you need for updating FSO. As Batts said, if you are running FSO (or FS2 with the FSO engine), you may want to get the latest MediaVPs for maximum graphical pleasure.

You don't have to, but you should, just to reduce confusion.
