Hi scuba,

Pls post a photo of the usb interface cable you have. Also, pls provide some information on the following:

Hi,

1) Tell me exactly what kind of hardware you have, especially 3D graphics card, CPU, and any other hardware installed, sound card etc.
2) What is the RAM size?
3) Which operating system are you using, XP or Vista? 32 bit or 64 bit?
4) Tell me exactly what drivers you installed for the 3D graphics card.
5) Which addons do you have?
6) What is the version number printed on your main AFPD disk?
7) How did you install the main disk, addons, and patch (which version?), and what was the sequence of installation?
8) Post the tm.log file which you can find in the following directory

C:\Program Files\IPACS\AeroFly Professional Deluxe

You may open the file with a text editor like word or notepad. Just copy and paste the entire content into your post.

Thanks

Thanks Carlos PS that is a whole lot of info lots of respect to you I dont understand any thing i just did.

hey mike I install Flight simulator 4.5 and it the graphics are ok and it is not slow. I know i meet all the recomended hardware. I dont know if this help

I did some searching in my device manager and I think this is the video card Indeo Intel /indeo video 5.10 commpressor/decompressor. and the usb is Lexors game commander usb

Hi scuba,

Pls post a photo of the usb interface cable you have. Thx

I dont have a way to put the a pic on here I dont have a camera. I can give you the serial number It come up on my desk top.

It is the game controller it came with the simulator

Hi scuba, with the game controller plugged into a usb port, pls go to Start....Control Panel....Game Controllers. Pls tell me what you see displayed in the window.

Your RADEON XPRESS 200M video card is also not compatible with AFPD. Pls take a look at the recommended video cards and system requirements here http://www.aerofly.com/www/requirements.html

ikars gamecommander new hard ware found.

Your game commander is recognized by windows and is working fine. The problem is probably due to your incompatible video card. Since you have addon 1 or addon 2, you could try installing this patch http://www.ipacs.de/download/afpd190711.exe but it may not help.
