Tried downloading the last several new models and this is the message I get (You don't have permissions to open the file) I have been downloading for the last several months and have had no problems. Also there in there forums everything is in German so can't get much help there. Any solutions please let me know. Thanks a ton.

Scott55,

First, make sure you ARE signed in. Second, make sure you have any firewalls disabled. You should have no problem with your downloads after that.

I agree that we English speaking folks could use a little more support in English. Have you talked to anyone over at Reflex?

Thanks Dave will look at the firewall situation, did not even give that a thought thanks again. Will let you know what happens.

Hi Scott,

Which website are you downloading from, and are you running WinXP?
Did you recieve any prompting from your firewall recently since last downloading successfully?
The least troublesome web site I have found for downloading is:

http://www.rc-sim.de/index_en.htm

You must login for the download button to appear and be functional on this site.

Hi guys, shut off firewalls, and that did not help. My username does show on the page so I figure I am logged in. I am running windowsXP but no firewall prompts ever came up prior. When I click on the download button is when that message comes up. Have yet to try and get a hold of Reflex. Are there any phone numbers to call? Thanks again gentlemen for your input.

Scott55,

You're referring to downloads on RC-Sim.de, correct? I can't think of anything else. Have you looked at their help guide? Here's what I found there:

Download-help :


Due the registration you must enter your genuine E-Mail address, after that our downloadscript sends you a E-Mail activation .

In that mail is a hyperlink, please follow this link to activate your account, afterwards you can download the files .

If the Download is not working on your machine ( only left mousebutton on download-button ), please check if you have installed an firewall, downloadmanager or Proxy, Referrer- blockers or attitudes, if it`s so, please deaktivate this for Download.

AOL- User please use Microsoft Internet Explorer.

We hope you enjoy our new work ...

If you want to contact the folks at RC Sim.de, you must submit a post on their Reflex Forum. If you want to contact Reflex, here is a link to them:

Good luck!

I also have not been able to download, have been downloading from them the last year with no changes to my computer (firewall ect) maybe they are doing server work

Don't know any quick solutions in this case!

I have WinXPH and Zone Alarm, and Avast Antivirus, none of these cause any problem with downloading.

Check for spyware using; AddAware, Spybot, etc.
Next scan for virus activity using whatever including what you find online.

Delete Cookies, Clear history and downloaded web cache. Clear SSL State. Look under Internet Options, select settings, then view objects, if you see any damaged objects delete them. (It may also help to delete anything that is only identified with numbers) close all open programs and restart your computer. Then try to download again.

If you are running WinXP and that does not work, you may try using system restore and returning to the last time period where you know the downloading did work.

If you have a CD Burner it would be a good time to backup anything on your computer that you want to keep for a long time and not have to download again.

In my case, I am fearless when it comes to erasing everything on my system and reconfiguring it from scratch if necessary.

I then reinstall and protect as best I can and go from there.
I have on several occasions forgotten to back up some files, or email, or favorites, or pictures, or most anything else you might think of and then been upset when I lost them all during the process of erasing everything on the computer and starting over again.

As a result I now partition my drives and dual boot.
I always have at least 4 partitions;

1 for Win98SE,
1 for WinXP either home or pro version. and
1 for installed programs used by both Operating Systems.
1 for downloaded files, etc.


To make things easier I copy some installation CD's to the 4th partition where downloaded files are saved. Then from Dos or Win98 the installation can be run from the hard drive which is faster than from the CD.

Another advantage to having partitions is having the ability to erase an operating system and reinstall it without loosing stuff on other partitions. The catch to this is you have to know enough about the partitions to make sure install to the correct partition and not over stuff you meant to be saving. . .

I use Kerio Firewall and had to disable web filtering so I could download files from RC-Sim.de.

Se if your firewall has any options like: popup blocking, ad blocking, etc

Hi everyone, still not having any luck. Is there a phone # that they can be reached at in in the US. Going to ditch this and go to AFP if no solution arrives. Thank you all for your support.

Scott

Scott,

What site are you trying to download from? I am not quite sure which site you are speaking of. Are you trying to get the latest aircraft for Reflex XTR at the Reflex XTR website, or are you over at RC-Sim.de?

If you are at Reflex's website, you can download the latest aircraft by picking up the latest update to Reflex XTR. It will upgrade Reflex XTR to version 5.01, giving you indoor scenery (gym) and a bunch of new foamies to fly in there.

Give us a detailed post as to which website you are having problems with. We can better assist you if we know more details.

Downloading the XTR demo as I write this...

Their website seems OK, albeit a bit slow from Deutschland!

Where are the large-scale 3D aerobats (Ultimate Bipe, Edge 540, Extra 330, Yak, etc.) in the Reflex demo? The indoor 3D stuff was great, the 3D heli stuff was great, and the trainer flying hilarious, but WHERE are the huge 3D planes?

I wouldn't buy Reflex after seeing the demo because of this glaring omission! How these huge planes 3D and interact with their environment would be a major factor in whether I'd personally purchase it!

Am I missing something? ;-}
