Torno's FW-190's 'Cannot open file'.

[Sky High 166]

I have just downloaded all three of Torno's very promising-looking FW-190's, but all present with the message  'Cannot open file' when I attempt to open them, something I have never previously encountered in files downloaded from CombatAce. Is it possible to correct them or could somebody kindly re-upload the files? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I will try again. I read mercier's review of two of the files which said 'corrupt file or unknown format', so I assumed that this might be the case.

Update:

I redownloaded and found the same problem. I then downloaded the WinZip trial utility and it worked.

over the last few years, there's been changes in the zipping softwares -- some older ones no longer work. Always have the most current version

You just need to download the latest WinRAR archiver (not lower than wrar560 version) :

By the way, it's completely free.

Don't even bother with WinRAR, go for 7-Zip, it does RAR5 since version 15.something.

Friends don't let friends use the RAR formats.

Actually, it was 7-Zip that failed to open it and Winzip (trial version free) succeeded. However, I took Wrench's advice and updated my 7--Zip and that seems to have solved the problem.

Thanks to everyone that rowed in so promptly with solutions.

 

[By the way, it was well worth the trouble-Tornos planes and cockpits are top class].
