Status: offline 		Hi rcflyer, in the aircraft edit menu, go to objects->fuselage->cg editor

In the CG editor there are 3 boxes with values when you access the fuse area. The three values in the cg editor are the cg position with respect to an arbitary reference point. The first value moves the cg forward (positive values) and backwards (negative values), the second to the left (+) and right (-) and the third value up(+) and down (-).

Status: offline 		I just downloaded the indoor "seeparksaal" and I can see the plane when I run it but the rest of the screen is black. I have this with another scene "vettre" too but all the others I've downloaded work fine. Any suggestions?

Status: offline 		I just downloaded the new drives but those 2 scenes still don't work.

I have an ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 card.

Don't know if it matters but the version of AFPD I have is 1.8.21 and I did not download the Patch Version 1.11.07.09
because I didn't know if I have a 3D-card with OpenGL 2.0 driver support.

Status: offline 		Hi rcflyer, please take a look at the recommended openGL-compatible 3D video cards here http://www.aerofly.com/www/requirements.html The card you are using is not recommended and this will cause problems as you have experienced. On the patch, if you do not have any addons, then patch 1.8.0.25 will be suitable.

Status: offline 		This is what it stated on the site
ATI XPert / ATI All In Wonder / ATI Rage (this accounts only for the old 7xxx series. The 9xxx series is highly recommended!)

The card I have is (2006 Edition) is newer then the 9xxx series and has 256 mb


I haven't bought any addons but I do have planes and scenery that I have downloaded from other sites. Everything works fine except for those 2 scenes. I would hate to download the patch and find things not working.

Status: offline 		Question on AFPD. Somehow in configuring the simulator, the selected rotating model on the main panel now has dark grey on the upper wing and tail and the fuselage. Reloading has not solved the problem. A downloaded model (diabolo) did not show the same coloration. The system config is this.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800, 2 GB Memory, ATI Radeon X1900GT, Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS, Windows XP.

Aerofly version 1.11.7.9 with addons 1,2,3. Disk 1 and 2 are version 1.11.7.1

And there is that BOUNCING when the Fly or Reset is selected.

Status: offline 		Hi riverrrun, please visit the ATI website and donwload/install the latest driver for your video card. You might also want to update the driver for your sound card.

Status: offline 		Thank you Maarten, the sound was ok, and the video was ok when I installed AFPD but after
I posted to you, errors were coming up. Upon receiving your answer I deleted and installed and it is now correct.
1. BUT what about the HOPPING when the sim starts? Can this be corrected by an option setting?
2. Global scaling is needed. If I change wingspan and LOA, will engine size be changed? I would like to scale down
come of the full size models to match the Aztec.
3. What about minimum (idle) engine speed?
4. On the side of the Antonov AN-2 there is a girl with no knickers and "Ahacmacust" painted on the side.
What is the translation? This is from Addon3.

1. BUT what about the HOPPING when the sim starts? Can this be corrected by an option setting?
[This can't be corrected and will be addressed in the next version. It is not an issue in most cases]

2. Global scaling is needed. If I change wingspan and LOA, will engine size be changed? I would like to scale down
come of the full size models to match the Aztec.
[There is no automatic scaling. You may change the engine power in the model edit menu]

3. What about minimum (idle) engine speed?
[You can set the idle speed in the model edit menu]

4. On the side of the Antonov AN-2 there is a girl with no knickers and "Ahacmacust" painted on the side.
What is the translation? This is from Addon3.
[Sorry, I have no idea. Perhaps some one can chip in]

Status: offline 		This time around, I am sure that the sound card and computer are working o.k. I have tested audio in 5.1, Real Flight in two speaker, but Aerofly Pro Deluxe works on center channel only. Cannot find any options to make it anything but on or off. You will probably say, put it back the way it was, which is working without center channel. THEN, I got two channel sound, but it was an incorrect hookup!

Status: offline 		Found the answer. This Aerofly is so unique (primitive? ha!) that it only likes a two speaker arrangement. The 5.1 defaults to center speaker and though the sound is not as full there is still some doppler effect.
