Hello. I have AFPD version 1.8.0 with the 1.8.25 patch installed and no add ons. While downloading new aircraft, I know that I have to change the .tmd file on the newer models, but how do I change the .tmd files on the aircraft with any type of "autorun" or "auto-download" feature? Thanks, D.

Hi droosta, can you tell me which AFPD model you're trying to download, and the link to it? Actually it does not matter how the aircraft file is downloaded. After it has been downloaded and installed, and if there are any issues with starting up the aircraft in AFPD, then take a look at the tmd file.

Hi rajul. The last plane I've tried to download was the DHC-2 "Beaver" off of the www.rc-sim.de site. Im able to get the plane into the AFPD aircraft folder by either us ing the import wizard after unzipping it from my desktop or by simply running the downloaded file after I've saved it to my desktop. The issue I'm having is I'm unable to access the .tmd file to change the version to accept my AFPD 1.8.25 because I don't have the option of o*****ng the folder with notepad or word. Only "run" and "cancel' come up. Thanks,D

Hi droosta, please follow the download and installation instructions here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5241496/tm.htm Somewhere further down the thread you will find the instructions on how to change the tmd file.

Hi again- Quick update, don't know if this will help. I can drag and drop these folders into notepad, but the format is all scewy. The only thing legable is "This program must be run under Win32" at the top. Hope this helps, and thanks again! D

Just right click on the tmd file and open with notepad. Are you sure you need to change anything in the tmd file in the first place? Make sure the model is designed for AFPD, not AFP. As I said, pls read the instructions I gave you above.

Sorry rajul, wasn't expecting such a quick response! The trouble I'm still having is accessing the .tmd file on the executable downloads. I'm a clutz on a pc. Thanks, D

Hi droosta, pls give me the link for the model download

Hi rajul, here it is. http://www.rc-sim.de/dl_engine_eng/i...424d94ce3d533d The specific plane is the 7th one down on page 1. DHC-2 "Beaver" . Thanks again rajul, Drew.

Hi droosta, there is an error in the default destination folder during installation. When you run the exe file, just change the destination folder to what you see in the attachment here or just copy this and paste it into the window C:\Program Files\IPACS\AeroFly Professional Deluxe

The German authors used C:\Programme\IPACS\AeroFly Professional Deluxe as the destination folder. I think "Programme" must be the German Windows version of "Program Files". If you find any folder named "Programme" in your c:\ directory, just delete it.

And here the beauty is........

rajul-YOU LEGEND!!! Thanks for your help. I had 5 planes in the "Programme" files that I will now be able to fly. I appreciate your problem solving. Drew

Well, glad to hear that. Enjoy!
