Status: offline 		There are two versions of chinooks at rcsim.de. From the model descriptions, it looks like they are not designed to carry cargo. I don't think there's a heli model in AFPD that can carry cargo too.

Status: offline 		The readme file was written in German and a very rough translation by altavista seems to indicate that there is a cargo and sliding door.

In AFPD controls, you can try to assign the "tow hook" to drop the cargo and the "wheel brake" to slide the door. You can assign these functions to numerical keypad 1, 3, 7 or 9 (Numlock must be on), or you can assign to any switch on your radio. When you have done the control assignment, remember to perform calibration on the radio switches.

I did not actually try this on the model, so you have to try it yourself

Status: offline 		bailey, which nvidia card are you using? Try updating the driver for your nvidia graphics card to the latest version. The recommended video cards and system requirements are given here http://www.aerofly.com/www/requirements.html Smoke, clouds, and other features in AFPD will take up more resources and if you are using a slower video card, it will be advisable to disable these features. It will also help if you terminate any programs running in the background such as spywares and viruses which will take up a lot of your system resources and slow down AFPD.

Status: offline 		REAL PLANES... in AFPD...

Hi... Mike.... I'm from Venezuela... so, please be patience with my english writting...

I already have AFPD... and I have been searching trought a lot of diferents post about planes that act like the Real ones... the most and almost only comment that I read wast de CAP 232 TOC (usa flag cover) that came with AFPD...

But I would like to have other models that act like the Real ones... Please I will apreciate if you can help me with that...

or if there is any Special configuration or Set-up in the AFPD to help others models act as real as possible...


And a last thing... Before a few months of training with AFPD in Aerobatic 3D... do you think that when I get to the real thing.. like a Foam 3D flyer... Will be easier for me to do the sames aerobatics that I used to do in the Sim... I mean... is really helpfull learn to do hoover and torque rolls in AFPD... so became easier in real life...???

Status: offline 		Hi Rodriguez, the airplane flight physics of AFPD is the best you can find. The stock planes fly great out of the box and do not need any tweaking. Of course, you will have to set up the planes correctly i.e. with the right amount of throws (high and low rates). My personal favourites are the Cap 232 and Extra 330. You could also download many free and good aerobatic planes like the Quique Yak54 and Votec from the sites given here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5044008/tm.htm AFPD is the best learning and training tool for 3D and you will be able to learn all types of 3D maneuvers. There is a good thread on 3D training and you can download the videos (made with AFPD) here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4459958/tm.htm

Here are some 3D and IMAC videos made with AFPD. Hope you like them

Status: offline 		Mike.... thanks a lotttt.....

I was hopping to hear something like that, cause that mean that all my days of training worth it... and when I get with a real one.. like the foamy 3D that I'm building I'll be able to do some 3D stuffs....

ONE LAST THING...

I own a Futaba 6EX Radio.... in order to fly and get the most of thoses 3D planes in AFPD... what mixes do you recomend to me... i.e. My configuration till this moment is the following...

HI RATES: 120%
LOW RATES: 80%

MIX MOTOR to Down Elevator Set to 1%

The Exponencial are set to "0" cause I don't understand it very much....

Again.. thanks a lot...

Jaime Rodriguez..
