Hi Mike,

I am still struggling with getting the RFG4 interlink controller to work with AFPD.
I have tried several solutions including switching usb ports.

I found one discrepancy:

"\Program Files\IPACS\AeroFly Professional Deluxe\Scenery\thefield.geo"

This field shows up blank in the scenery choices within AFPD. When and if I select it the program crashes.


P.S. I reinstalled AFPD and then installed update 'afpd18025.exe' then I tried the joystick and it recognized the RFG4 Interlink controller, so I tried 'Fly' and the Interlink was not having any effect, so I tried to configure it which seemed successful. I then retried to fly and nothing responded. Looking back once again into 'Controls' & 'Joystick - Properties' I found nothing responding! It lost its ability to see the RFG4 Interlink controller!

I then tried 'New' for joystick and nothing was recognized.

I then applied update 'afpd1110709.exe' and there was no improvement.


Will seeing my TM.LOG help?
