I have found 2 problems with that package
at least their are problem in my opinion.
The first one is that in the package you get DarkMatter
but DarkMatter 2 is much better for DBPro after all the DBPro users
dont need the Enhancement Pack and in DM2 there are more models.
The second problem is that Cartography Shop. Version 4 came out
and you sell there version 3 so is it a mistake or you are selling
version 3 for now?

DM contains more models (only just, but it does). Although I agree we should do a version with DM2 as well, but only if people want to download it (it's a 49MB download).

CS3 is irrelevant though, because you actually get sent CS4 now and upgrades from CS3 to CS4 are free of charge anyway.

I don't see any reason why people won't want to download it
after all most of the demos are more than 49MB and you need
to download CS3,TM,3DCP as well (if I got it right).

About the upgrade part, are all the software like this?
I mean if Ill buy 3DCS (as an example) version 6 and tomorrow there will
be a version 7 will I have to buy version 7 or Ill have
a free upgrade? (the same goes for TM and GeoScape3D).

And another question can I edit the DM models in 3DCPro?

That isn't totally true. None of the items you have to download in the Super Pack are even close to 49MB in size, heck none of them are even half of that. A lot of our users can't (and won't) download something that large.

And no, not all upgrades work like that - it is at the authors discretion. Josh knew that CS3 to CS4 would be free, but that doesn't meant CS5 will be, etc. Pretty much all minor releases are free.

Yes you can edit the DM models with 3DC.

So what is their size about?

I thought I will have to download hundred of MB

If you still dont want to do the package with DM2 you can always give
SoundMattar instead

Texture Maker is about 5MB, 3DC is about 8MB (+ an optional 15MB extras pack if you want it), CS is 8MB, although CS4 is 13MB, but even so - it's still pretty small.

In total, it's about 26MB for all three apps in the pack.
