Status: offline 		Here's a 5-step guide on how to install downloaded AFPD aircraft models from the various free websites. This is a drag-and-drop method which I find is easier and faster, compared to unzipping.

When you have completed the download of an aircraft model, you will see a zip file on your desktop. An example is shown below.

Status: offline 		If your zip file has a set of files, you will have to create a new folder inside the "Aircraft" folder and give it the same name as the zip file. For example, if the zip file is "rExtreme.zip", then the new folder name should be "rExtreme". Then use your mouse to drag and drop (or copy and paste) all the zip files into the new folder

Close all open windows and you're all set! You should be able to load and fly the new aircraft model in AFPD.

Status: offline 		Addendum: Some of the newer model downloads may come as an executable file. That actually makes life a whole lot easier. All you have to do is the double click on the zip file to extract it, then double click on the .exe file to install the model. The installation will be done automatically.

Your installation procedure is very clear and I have followed it exactly (using both a single folder and separate files) but the model ( acromaster_jw) does not appear on the list of AFPD aircraft.
Within the "aircraft" folder the "acromaster_jw" folder is not sorted into its alphabetic place.
Can you help me further please?
Gerry

Status: offline 		Gerry, I tested the acromaster_jw and it works fine using the outlined procedure. Do you see the acromaster_jw folder in the AFPD aircraft folder? What version of AFPD do you have 1.8.0.25 or 1.9.7.11? Did you install any addons?

Status: offline 		The aeromaster_jw file was written for version 1.9.x.x of AFPD. Try and see if this works:

Go to the aircraft directory C:\Program Files\IPACS\AeroFly Professional Deluxe\aircraft and open the aeromaster_jw folder.
Look for the .tmd file and open it with a text editor like notepad or word

Now you need to alter this line in the .tmd file:

// aerofly professional --------------------------------------------------------
//
// file: xxxxxxx.tmd
// version: 1.9.0 <<<<<<<<ALTER THIS LINE TO: // version 1.8.0
//
// type: 20
// lock: 0
//
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then click save

Close all open windows and you're all set! You should be able to load and fly the new aircraft model in AFPD.

Am I reading this right? Shouldn't I click copy first, then cut or what? Am I to understand that file needs to be deleted in the new model folder?

Status: offline 		Rajul,
Thanks for getting back to me. Here is the info you asked for:
I downloaded 4 models from http://arthur.heim.at

"which models did you download?"

AS_BLUESHARK_AFPD
AS_NURI-E_AFPD
AS_PIPERJ3_AFPD
AS_S-39_W_AFPD

"how did you install them?"
I downloaded them to C\username\documents\aircraft. Once I found them I then opened the files and followed the instuctions. They unzipped and went into the aircraft folder in AFPD.

"What is the exact problem you are facing?"

I renamed them and they show up in the folder, but when I start the program they don't come up. I did read something to the affect of changing the version # in the TMD file, but have not done that til I know that's what I should really do.

Thx
RK
