Installation

From EuroScopeWiki

If You Have A Previous Release Installed

The installer of the new release will execute an uninstall of the previous version. The uninstaller will delete all files that were copied to your computer by the installer. It includes the original settings, the ICAO airlines and airports files and also the FSNavigator database files. It also deletes the ASR files that were provided for the LHCC sectorfile. If you have saved any configuration to these files, or updated them manually, or downloaded a newer AIRAC database, then be sure to SAVE THEM to another place before running the installer.

Please keep in mind that since Euroscope 3.1 all personal setting are stored in "..\My Documents\Euroscope\" directory instead of root as it was in preceding versions.

Installation

Installation of EuroScope is really easy. Just download the MSI file from any of the sites and run it. Then follow the instructions of the installer. Well, the only thing you should specify is the folder you would like to put the files.

The main download site is the home of Euroscope. This server is located in Hungary. Thanks to Ross Carlson and Metacraft Internet Services we have a mirror site. It is located in Dallas, Texas. The mirror site my not be available until the installers are copied there.

Another Important Note About TrueType Fonts

It seems that the in some cases (mostly on Vista or WIndows 7, depending on the user right) the installer is unable to install or overwrite the font set that was installed before. That will cause some symbols missing in the new release. If you experience this then go to the EuroScope installation folder and install the EuroScope.ttf font manually.
