simpel

Hello

a Minute ago i just followed the Instructions to install the native Mac Version of my AeroFly Professional on my MacPro. Those Instructions are not very clear for unexperianced Users like myself.

First i copied the large .dmg file from CD/DVD to my Desktop. Then i executed the .dmg file, which was then verified and opened in a new folder. Then, i clicked the AeroFly Symbol on that new folder ... and i got those error messages:

================================================

To avoid the Problem, i had to copy that new AeroFly Folder [which seems to be some kind of "virtually generated volume"] to my Applications Folder ... and now i can start the Mac Version of AeroFly Professional without Problems ==> from my Application Folder <== !

When you do it correctly, then it's ... simpel. Enjoy it, too.

Basically what you did was correct. You have to copy or drag/drop the new AFPD icon into the Application folder. The installation instructions can be found in a readme file:

AeroFly Professional Deluxe

AeroFly Professional Deluxe requires an Intel based MAC computer running Mac OS X 10.5 (or newer) with an OpenGL 2.0 capable 3D graphics card from NVIDIA or ATI/AMD.

Installation
Do not run (double click) the app from this disk image. Instead copy the folder AeroFly Professional Deluxe to any place you like (the preferred place for AeroFly Professional Deluxe on Mac OS X is the User application folder ~/Applications).

Notes for the MAC OS X Version
Please note that the current version of AeroFly Professional Deluxe does not support music playback.
This MAC OS X Version includes the AeroFly Professional Deluxe AddOn's 3, 4 and 5. In order to use the models and sceneries of these AddOn's you need to activate them first. To activate follow the instructions within AeroFly. When asked for a Product-Key, type in the 16 digit Product-Key that is printed on your AeroFly Professional Deluxe DVD.
In order for AeroFly Professional Deluxe to work smoothly on slower 3D graphics card, the default texture quality setting is set to Medium. For maximum visual quality go to the Options menu with AeroFly Professional Deluxe and set the "Texture Quality" to High.
