gr8, did you get them to work?

RE: How to get AFP downloaded planes to work?

You can call me anytime Gr8, the number is on our website under contacts. My direct number is up there. I'll get you setup in no time.

gr8, go to your Windows (assuming you are using Windows) explorer by right clicking on the start tab in the lower left of your screen. This brings up the Start Menu. Open your hard drive directories, then Program Files, then Ipacs, then Aerofly Professional, then aircraft. In this aircraft folder you must create subfolders with the EXACT name of the file you downloaded, which is case sensitive, I believe. Unzip the downloaded file into the sub-folder you created, read the "read-me" folder for special instructions. You will then be able to open the file in AFP by choosing it in "Aircraft".

Make sure you unzipped the file into the subfolder of the aircraft folder.

If this doesn't work, let me know.

So whats your fav bird?

Yak55sp has been, but I'm really beginning to love the OMPEdgeHybrid. I just haven't spent enough time with her yet. These big planes are amazing in their stability.

RE: How to get AFP downloaded planes to work?
 

i was flying my new planes. how cool. thank you STLPilot. i couldnt quite get the hybrid to hover but i will. thanks alot. and to everyone else for the help too.

RE: How to get AFP downloaded planes to work?
 

Youll be hoverin that Hybrid in no time. Just keep the nose straight up. Glad you like it. The Yak55 SP is prolly the easiest to hover because it's a 50% aircraft. I think it flies a little lighter then the real bird, but still nice to fly. The bigger they are, the more stable, that goes the same in real world rc too. But then again, the harder they crash too!

Later.

I have done everything about. I created the subfolder with the exact name unzipped it and deleted the files i was told. The planes show up on the aircraft select menu, but when the sim loads there is nothing there. What am I doin wrong. Thanks in advance.
