BFD XFL INSTALLATION GUIDE
Welcome! The data on the BFD XFL DVDs is arranged into full kits with
auxiliary Kit-Pieces. You can run installers which copy all the data for each DVD.
Alternatively, if you only wish to install certain Kit-Pieces, you can drag and drop
individual Kit-Pieces from the DVDs to your
BFD/Data folder. If you are using this
manual method, then it is inadvisable to use the pre-made kit definitions provided
on each DVD as they may reference Kit-Pieces which you have not installed.
Instead, you should compile your own kits using the individual Kit-Pieces (which, as
you know as a BFD user, is a breeze to do).
You should also make sure that you have the latest version of BFD installed. To get
the latest version, please register, then fill out the form on the following page:
Using the Installers:
On Windows, insert DVD1 and run the
Win BFD XFL Setup.exe file and follow the
on-screen instructions. Ensure that the install location is your existing
BFD folder.
You will be prompted for further DVDs depending on the options you select.
On MacOSX, each of the 5 DVDs has an installer named
MacOSX BFD XFL
Setup N.mpkg, where N is the number of the DVD (for example, MacOSX BFD
XFL Setup 1.mpkg for DVD1). Simply run the installer and follow the on-screen
instructions, making sure you select the install location as your existing
BFD folder.
Using the Manual Copy method:
Each DVD has Kit-Pieces arranged inside the
BFD/Data folder, arranged by
manufacturer. Simply drag and drop one or more of these manufacturer folders to
your
BFD/Data folder. If you only want certain Kit-Pieces within a manufacturer
folder, you will need to create the manufacturer folder manually, then copy
