New Butterfly Display Software 3.2

Hi, having issues with the download from he http://www.butterfly-avionics.com/in...upport-english

when I download it, it comes as a .zip file when I then extract the files I get a .exe file then if I try and run it, I get a error reading com ports. Is ther a place just to get the .BFW and .BFN update files? They are fairly small files and don't really need to be compressed. This happens with both the flarmnet and display updates. Or am I or Freaking windoze 7 doing something wrong?

Thanks CH

Right click on the center part of the links (Update file for PowerFlarm).
Choose "save link as".
Select your usb or sd location.
Save

Note: don't click on the link to open it or your computer may save it as a txt file.

Works for me! (and I hate computers)

Thanks Bumper that worked! But does it really have to be that cryptic?

No, and it confused even me, who is supposed to know what's what! The
options should be on separate lines with a brief description, or a much
better name, and clicking on it should download it, not display the text.

Mark, what is the zipped "FlarmNet Update Software" that is shown next to the link for the Flarmnet .bfn and .fln data files?

These links are below the Butterfly Display software in the Support Downloads page.

Anything we need for a PowerFLARM core?

I downloaded it too. It's the direct update software that you use when you
have connected the display to your PC with the special cable. Now that the
core unit can update the display there should be little need for it, but at
least they still have it available.
