BVE: Filesize

[John O]

Hi Folks

Will be releasing a new BVE4 train soon... only problem is I've overdone it with sounds.

In it's present state it's a 29 megabyte download and the sound experience you will have from it is top quality! However I understand for some people this may be too large a download. What I'm wanting to ascertain is if there is demand out there for another version with some sound qualities reduced to be more downloadable.

Let me know what you think!

Cheers

Personally I don't mind 29mb, but I do have a 2mb broadband connection

RE: Filesize

A possible solution could be to offer 2 separate downloads:
- A "normal" version of the train including low quality sounds
- An "upgrade sound pack" to improve train's sounds

Personally I have a 1mb Broadband connection so 29mb is no prob. However I remember what it was like with a 56k dial up, so 2 seperate downlaods would probably be the best way forward.
