thx for your quick reply

I downloaded the beaver (page 2, without floats) from rcsim.de. I think the link might not work, that's why i described the plane also. http://www.rc-sim.de/index_en.htm

Maybe there's something wrong with the file ?

Grtz,
Menno

what version of AFPD do you use?

The Beaver is created for the version 1.11.xx; if you have an older one, you should have a look to Post: #14 at this page:
Installation procedure for AFPD model downloads

Arthur

i'm sorry, i have read the topic, but is was too focussed on my problem.
You are right, i have to check it for sure, but i think it is version 1.8xxx so that's probably the solution.

This afternoon i'm gonna try, thanks for responding !
Happy flying from the Netherlands !

Grtz,
Menno

Status: offline 		HI,

ok, i was forgotten to change the version number in the tmd file, silly :mrgreen: .

However, the download is still not working, when i select the DH2 Beaver in the airplane menu, normally a black screen will apear for a short time and then the main menu appears again to start flying.
Well in my case the black screen appears, in the left upper corner you see the text which airplane is loading, but AFPD won;t return to the main screen. Windows (XP Media Center) comes up with an error with something lijke problem with main executable AFPD. **** because it's working great with ervery other plane.

I think there something wrong with this DH2 Beaver file. I've tried downloading a new file, but the same problem again

Can somebody test this file ?

Grtz,
Menno

I have Windows XP with the Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. Don't know whether it is compatible with NVIDIA or ATI.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for your reply. So , do I understand you to mean that I cannot install the required Open GL 2.0 driver with the integrated graphics system I have on my laptop ?
Reason I ask twice- the AFPD dealer assured me it would run when I gave him the full specs of my laptop. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it.

Thanks

Status: offline 		Hello Mike Marks,
Long time no talk. Glad to see your still online. I have a problem, now. I ordered the USA addon disc from the German website, so I could download it immediately. As it were, it took almost 8 hours for one, that failed and again 10 hours (I'm on High speed DSL0 too, and as soon as it reached the last MB (almost 1 gig file size), Firefox shuts down (it is a VISTA thing to shut off Firefox after any downloads).
It save it in my downloads as afpd-addon-5.exe.part
I renamed it and took off the word part and began the installation. It installed and everything looked good, and it said it installed. So now, I cant start it. It starts and stops at the loading page and then shuts down, saying it cant continue to load and do I want Windows to check for an online solution.
So, I did a system restore, and it still wont work. I'm not sure if I got the whole file or not. I tried to respond to Ikarus in Germany but I have no Idea if they got it because their website is all in German. Any Ideas what I can do now?
Thanks kindly.

Here is a copy of the letter I sent back to them for your reference. I promote Aerofly all the time, as you can see from my vids.
Please help.

Dear sirs,
Having looked in my downloaded files, I see I have what is called afpd-addon5.exe.part

I changed the extension to say .exe, and ran it.

It installed, so it said. But when I try to start Aerofly, it just says Windows Closed Aerofly and do I want to check for an online solution....which I did, to no avail.

As I stated below, I'm running Vista Home Premium on a 2.7 ghz Pentium.

PS, I have several videos on youtube about your product and recommend it all the time.

Please watch one and let me know what I need to do to get my simulator working again.

Here is a link to one of the Aerofly Videos, I made, called
" My Aerofly helicopter leans"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO9j2bmGhNY

Thanks kindly,
Dave Herbert

Status: offline 		Hi Dave, I have not tried one of these downloads as I prefer to have a CD or DVD backup always. Do you have any reference number for your download or order? If you could email me your paticulars (the same one you submitted for the download) I could check and see if you could redownload again. Most likely your download is corrupted. Would you like the DVD instead? eight hours for the download is mighty long.........

Status: offline 		HI again..

Here is a copy of the first letter I sent with my particulars. I would have much rather had the DVD, but because I had a demonstration to do, I opted for the download and that was the only place I could download it. If I had known it would have taken all that time, I also would not have done that.
I have the original Aerofly disc, and then i have the disk 18019 Beta. I tried to reinstall, by uninstalling, then reinstalling disk one, then the beta. Nothing works now, as I mentioned.

Here is the first letter I sent to Ikarus.

Hi,
I ordered the Addon-5 download yesterday but have bad luck after trying to download on 2 separate computers.

The first one stopped at 340 mb, and the second one went all the way, but after download stopped, it said it had a problem with saving at that location. It took all night to download it only for it to fail to save.

I have plenty of room on my hard drive, am using Mozilla Firefox and running vista.

How can I get a disk instead, or please tell me what to do. My order number is XX
Thanks for your help.\
Dave

Also, could you tell me what video card you're using? Thx

Status: offline 		The version on my original says Version 1.8.0.9. Ive had it for years. Wish I could start all over with a fresh disk and the TX is comes with. (I use lots of batteries up in my Eclipse 7) LOL.
This version is running perfectly on my Laptop right now, except for a square for a shadow!

My desktop video card is a Vision Tek Radeon X1300 series, and I'm running 4 gig of ram with readyboost, and a 2.7 GHZ Pentium duo Core.

It had been working perfectly on that card. Did you watch the video in the link above "My aerofly heli leans"? That shows how well it was working.

Thanks again,
Dave.
