Unable to Clone Repository, Extract downloaded .Zip file.
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Hi Richard,
I really like the amount of work that you have done for F-14 in FlightGear.
Previously I was using old version of FG and F-14b was working well, but now I am using FlightGear v 2020.3.3 & aircraft is not loading.
So I trayed to use F-14 model V1.3 (FG 3.6+) from link = http://www.zaretto.com/sites/zaretto.com/files/F-14-13-fg36-2015-11-30.zip
Looks like its not compatible with FG v 2020.3.3 so I also tried to Clone Develop Repository (https://github.com/Zaretto/fg-aircraft/tree/develop) but unable to Clone it, I am getting error.
So i also tried to Download .Zip from Github.
I managed to download 378MB file, but while extracting .Zip file I am getting error as seen in attached screenshot below.
Thanks for the positive feedback.
The V1.3 (FG 3.6+) on zareto.com is very old and probably should be removed from my site.
It is recommended to use the FlightGear launcher to install the F-14 (and F-15).
Currently the develop branch is working fine with 2020.3 - however the best way to get this is to clone it using git; downloading the zipfile isn't ideal as it will be large.
I will be releasing updated versions of the F-14 and F-15 within the next month or so; and these will be available in the 2020.3 aircraft menu.
Using the FlightGear launcher I managed to download updated F-14 for FG v 2020.3.3 and its working.
Thank you.
I wanted to clone repository from Develop Branch of F-14b from Github, but I am getting clone button only for fg-aircraft i.e. https://github.com/Zaretto/fg-aircraft/tree/develop marked in below screenshot.
Main fg-aircrat is more then 1GB in size, I want to only clone F-14b or F-15 without "Development-Items" folder.
Inside F-14b https://github.com/Zaretto/fg-aircraft/tree/develop/aircraft/f-14b repository I cant see clone button, pleas see attached screenshot.
github doesn't support downloading a subdirectory; so the only way to do this would be to use git command line.
I'm closing this issue because it isn't really F-14 or F-15 related.
Ok, Thankyou.
Is it possible to clone subdirectory using GitHub Desktop?
Unfortunately it isn't, that is not what Git is for nor how it works.
Git is for project management, so you clone the whole repo and work on it.
I would suggest you simply use the Aircraft available in the FGAddon Hangar.
@AnirudhP22 also worth noting that once you've cloned the repository getting the latest version will usually very much smaller downloads as git will only download the changes.
