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

Hi RK, I downloaded the PiperJ3 to my desktop. It is an executable file and everything installs automatically. Pls refer to post #8 in this thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=5683522 There is no need to change any folder name.

Thanks Again,
RK

Now my problem: when i install a model, every now and tehn (after installing) the preview don't show up [] If i check the folder of this model, the is preview file is present like normal.

Menno

Hi Menno, Can you provide me with a download link to one of such models? Although there is no preview, the model should work normally.

Hi Rajul,

thx for your quick reply [8D]

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. [link=http://www.rc-sim.de/index_en.htm]http://www.rc-sim.de/index_en.htm[/link]

Maybe there's something wrong with the file ?

Grtz,

Hi 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:

Hi Arthur & Rajul,

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 !

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. Bull**** 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

Hi Menno, I just remembered someone else asked the same question on the DH2 Beaver. You'll find the solution here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=7696627

I can't complete my AFPD installation because no hardware exists for the Open GL 2.0 driver on my laptop. I've been on the OPENGL ,NVIDIA, and ATI websites and can't find a download.

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

Hi Rajul,

thx for your reply. I found this solution by myself too and guess what ? It worked out Thx anyway.

Hi Fimbriaco, your integrated graphics is not compatible with AFPD. You will need a OpenGL2.0-compatible 3D video card that is listed here http://www.aerofly.com/www/requirements.html

My Feedback: (56)

Mike,
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

Hi F.imbriaco, OpenGL 2.0 is a graphics standard, not a driver.

My Feedback: (56)

Ok, then from what you're saying, I can't use AFPD on my laptop because my Dell XPS M140 came wth an Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 for Inspiron 630M rather than an OpenGL 2.0.

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"

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.........

Phantom 1

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

Hi Dave, what's the version number printed on your afpd disk? Is your main afpd disk a beta disk? Could you clarify what beta disk is this?

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