Edit Revision #3: Okay, I tried it again...use the technique in the quote, then, after unchecking the PASV mode and saying okay, instead of picking "Update to latest version" go to advanced and pick "Update to specific version" I chose 2.00.723 as I had the most recent one before that.
It downloaded on the 3 rd try and I am now fully updated...No, HONEST, REALLY!!!
Seems the servers are on again/off again.

Edit Revision #2:
Well, spoke too soon. It downloaded something but apparently not the whole update. It downloaded the new control panel but then it crashed again when I tried to update to the newest version.
Oh well, the technique below will get you the new control panel...little good that it does.

Hey, this worked ...I just downloaded the update!!! WooHoo! got it off the Knifedge discussion page: http://12.156.2.54/forums/showthread.php?t=9327
Hey, I had to download a new version of the Real Flight G2 Control panel. Then this allowed me access to the 2nd server. Once you download it you need to run the new control panel and do the following if you have cable or dsl internet. In the control panel click Online Updates now Click on Proxy Settings. Disable the Use PASV mode check box. Then click ok. Now it should try to connect if does not click on Update to latest Version. Now it will not take you to the first server but will now ask if you want to connect to the secondary server. Click OK. Keep doing this until you get through and eventually it will download the update. That should fix your problem. If you need the file for the control panel setup I have it on my desktop so email me at
[email protected] and I will send you the updated control panel. It's roughly 1.8 MB. Let me know and I hope this helps.
