Status: offline 		jaafit he has mentioned several times that hes using PAINT SHOP PRO STUDIO which is a different product than PAINT SHOP PRO9. I bet PAINT SHOP PRO STUDIO doesnt support targa files.

Hello Jaafit,
I get as far as the tga file in the G3 coro sceme folder and when I click on it I get this warning:
"Paint cannot read this file.This is not a valid bitmap file or its formate is not currently suported"
Have any ideas on whats wrong, Im womdering if my Pait Shop Pro Studio will work.
NEDYOB


Your computer thinks that you want .tga files to open with Microsoft Paint, not Jasc Paint Shop Pro. Here's one way to solve that:

1. Open Jasc Paint Shop Pro
2. Go to the "File->Preferences" menu and choose "File Format Associations"
3. In this dialog, find and check ".tga" and click OK

Now you should be able to double-click a .tga file and Jasc Paint Shop Pro will open it.

Are you behind a router or a firewall?

Status: offline 		i got G3 today and i think it's pretty cool but i dont have anything to compare it too. One question is can i connect my JR Century 7 to the interface and fly the helis with it cause when i plug it in it don't do anything. I wanted to use it but not sure how. Also is there any training program to actually teach you how to fly helis? I went into insturctor and all i say training for was flips and dives and Tornadoes and stuff like that. Is there a beginner training for heli somewhere?

Why do I get..
failed to send player packet

when trying to join some multi games?
anything I can do to fix it? or is it on the hosts end?
also, what port #s does G3 multi use? (so I can host)

thanks.


UDP 2300-2400

We also use a TCP port to connect. this is typically 2032 on the router, but
it could be anything on your local computer.

It should work. Make sure your transmitter is on and not in PCM mode.

Unforturnately, none of the instructional recordings is for beginner heli pilots. We are considering creating additional recordings for this purpose. For now, I would suggest going to www.ircha.org and downloading one of their instructional guides.

Status: offline 		Hello JAAFIT,
I ended up taking my Paint Shop Pro Studio back and got Paint Shop Pro 9. After installing it, I was able to go right into starting my own paint scemes. Works great. My first one looks like my 6 yr. old daughter colord it but with alittle time and practice it will look better.
Thanks for all your help.

Yes. Here are the steps:
1. Load the aircraft you want to add smoke trails to.
2. In the Aircraft menu, choose "Edit [name of your aircraft]." The aircraft editor will appear.
3. In the aircraft editor, expand the "Airframe" item in the tree selection in the lower left.
4. Right-click on the "Fuselage" item, which is under the "Airframe" item. From the menu that pops up, choose "Add Smoke Component." The new smoke component will appear in the tree and will be highlighted.
5. Edit the parameters of the new smoke component to your liking.

If you want the smoke to come out the wing tips, you will need to do step 4 twice (one for each wing) and change the "Location in Parent" vector's X value to get the origins to be at the wing's tips.

Status: offline 		I just got G3 add on volume 3 and keep getting an error message when I select the Extra 300. If I click OK, I can fly the plane, but it's just this generic white plane with no color at all. I tried going to Edit, and Options for new color scheme but I click on it and nothing happens. Any suggestions?
