2. Download and install EuroScope from https://euroscope.hu/install/EuroScopeSetup.3.2.9.msi.

3. Open EuroScope from the Windows Start menu. If prompted to open a profile file click 'Cancel'

4. EuroScope will load with a blank screen. At the top of the window, click the 'OTHER SET' button and disable the 'Auto load last profile on startup' option.

   

5. Click the 'OPEN SCT' menu and select the 'Download Sector Files ...' option.

   

6. On the top half of the newly opened window, in the 'Available sector file providers' list, select the 'Euroscope main sector file provider' line and click download

   

7. In the 'Available sector file providers' list locate the 'AeroNav GNG Sector File Provider' line and click on the 'A' or 'Auto' checkbox. This will instruct EuroScope to refresh this list if more than 12 hours have passed since the last time EuroScope was open.

   

8. Press the top half's 'Download' button. This will add other vACCs to the top list.

   

9. After the download is complete and the list updated, scroll down to 'AeroNav GNG LPPC Portugal vACC'. Click on the 'A' or 'Auto' checkbox and then the top half's 'Download' button. This will download a list of the available sector file packages published for LPPC.

   

10. The bottom half 'Provided Sector Files' list will update. In this list select the LPPC Install-Package, and without any other option selected on the right collumns, click the bottom half 'Download' button.

    

11. The 'D' collumn will show a checkmark once the download is complete.

    

12. On the 'LPPC Update-Package' line, select the 'A' option and click download.

    

13. When the 'D' collumn shows the download complete checkmark, on the 'LPPC TopSkyAreas' line, select the 'A' option and click download.

    

14. When the 'D' collum shows the download complete checkmark, all the required files have been downloaded. Your Window should look like below.
