Default user models and aerofly 5.5???

But i just got aerofly 5.5 on mac, and i tried to install user models, but it doesn't seem to work...
Any suggestions..

I downloaded the file, unzipped it.. copied it in the aircraft folder .. nothing happened
I then created a folder ( User Models) and then coped the model inside that folder ... nothing happened..

Please help

Could you provide a link to the user model you're referring to?

HI Arthur,

I preformed the procedure as per the instructions, and it did not work.
Also after i unzipped the file, some of the files are in Exe. and that would never work on mac.

I really appreciate your support..

Thank you

I need to check if these models are compatible with AF5 mac. Obviously if they are .exe files, they will not work in mac

Hi Hussein,

I cannot see any exe files in the zip files of the download models for the aerofly5 (http://www.ipacs.de/forum/forumdisplay.php/25-Models). Which models contain exe files??

Arthur

Have you downloaded and installed the latest patch 5.5.0.7 http://www.aerofly.com/downloads_en.html ? The patch includes many more AF5 models and sceneries. Follow the installation instructions carefully

Hi arthur,

one of the models is located in http://www.ipacs.de/forum/showthread...009-Micro-Wing
after unzipping the files are in Exe. when i create a folder in aircraft, it will not be seen in the model select in the sim.
When selecting info for file, mac gives the following Unix Executable File

thanks

Arthur,

Only one model seems to work ( The Blimp)

kindly please look into this matter, I guess it all depends on the way the model was created..
If there is a difference in the format it would be nice to have a thread for mac compatible models...

Once again thank you so much for your support.. I really appreciate it...

Cheers

Hi Hussein,

which program do you use to unzip the file? There are NO exe files in it!

Regards
Arthur

My download also is not an .exe file. It could be your unzipping program causing some issues

In Mac OS 10.6.6 Click on the link "microwing.zip" and you can follow it in Safari's (5.0.3) "download" window you can see the progress. When it is all loaded, it automatically unzips into a folder called "microwing" on your hard disk. Drag that folder into the "Aircraft" folder of AF5 (5.5.0.7). I just did that in about a couple of minutes and it shows up in the plane menu to use.
