Believe me I care. Have you contacted your local post office? They may help you track it to customs.

Hey Dion, thats on my list for tomarrow......thanks for your help though its good to be able to talk to a company rep about it.. not to many other companies have that kind of service...

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Hehehehe and you guys are complaining? Ask Dion about our planes that we imported to South Africa....Try a month and a half! Only took a week to get to SA and then got stuck in customs and at the post office! [:'(] :D

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

HAHA don't say that i have a feeling thats exactly what happend to my AFP!!!!! I hope its not a month and a half though..... Only time will tell.. I guess either way it will be worth the wait:D

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Oh yeah no doubt about that. But dude seriously I can not imagine Canada being as bad as SA....but we won't go into that. :D

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

HAHAHA ok we won't..... yeah i can't see it being a month and a half either but I wouldn't have guessed 3 weeks either...Oh well all I can do is wait...[8D]

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Dion, I tried to contact my postal service and it didnt' help at all... I know that it was sent by USPS was it sent by surface mail or air mail?? If it is surface mail won't it take close to 6 weeks to get here???

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Well ordered mine today. I didn't want to because my CC is already smoking but the guy on my shoulder made me. Downloaded all my plane and can't wait to get started. Also, can't wait until I see it running on my system. I built a gaming rig in January with a ATI 9800pro 128mb and a AMD 64 3000+. So I will be able to use this sim and enjoy the graphics to the fullest.:D

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Speaking of cards, I see you reccomend a ATI 9700 or 9800 for the graphics cards. Those are very powerful gaming cards. So with one of these cards what can I expect as in eye candy? Also, what resolutions does it support? Is there a menu for shadows and detail levels? orderd mine today. I don't have a sim yet, just my Nexstar sim. I want to move on to faster aircraft and some 3D so I figured to go with this over RF. Very excited about loading it up!!!!

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Thanks for your purchase! I saw it come through. You've made a good choice .... you'll see why in a few days.

Personally I have a 9800 ATI card and get between 250-300 FPS. My 9700 card came in at around 175-250 FPS. Yes there is a menu for graphic details, scenery density, smoke density etc. The program supports up to 1280 x 1024.

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Sweet!!!! I'm *****g out everything and running 1280x1024! Did you turn on AA or AF at all?

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

what exactly does the verticle sync do?? when i enable it on the sim it keeps my FPS at a constant 60. w/o it enabled, i get around 3-400.......just asking.
thanks

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Verticle sync makes it run at your monitors refresh rate. So if your monitor is 1280x1024@60hz it will run at 60fps.

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

I left Anti Aliasing off. Never messed with Anistrophic Filtering, however I'll give it a try. It runs so nice right out of the box, it never really needed any improving. The 9800 is such a sweet card.

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Yes, my 9800pro has been a great card. Played every game in the book without sweating (except FarCry, it brought it to it's knees). Try 4xAA and 2XAF. At 250fps man it won't even work the card with AA and AF. Sorry if I seem to be concentrating on the graphics but I know AFP is a great sim, the graphics are just a bonus. You can tell the difference big time between a screenshot of it running at 16bit color,600x480, shadows low, details low, compared to 32bit color, 1280x1024, everything maxed as high as it can go. I'm a real junkie for eye candy.[&:]

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Far Cry is just before it's time that's the problem. It gives my setup a run for the money as well.

AFP has all the eye candy that's for sure, but the real winner is the way it flies. You'll see ...

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

hey, with aerofly pro, can you download trainer models, and electric assisted gliders?
also, can you download an ep concept sr?

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Yes lots of trainers and many different gliders of all kinds.

Not sure about the Concept though.

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Wait until DOOMIII comes out. It went Gold(that means it's in production) and is set for release AUG 3rd. To run it at ultra high detail you have to have A 3.5 processor or higher, 2 gigs of ram, and a 500mb video card!!!!!! Ouch. But it will still be great with med/high detail.

Oh and I'm itching to get my hands on that sim. I have 2 planes that will be here on mon/tuesday. I ordered a Skyraider MachII and a Hanger 9 Twist. I was starting to get the nervousness back again thinking about flying a different airplane knowing it will be faster and touchier, but that's why I decided to buy a sim. The Nexstar sim helped me out by teaching me how to fly it so I figured why not invest in something that will help me transition from a trainer. Some do it without but the sim just builds confidence. If it wasn't for the Nexstar sim, I probably would have never made it this far. Over 7 gallons of flying time, probably over 100 flights, and it's still never been wrecked(knocks on wood).

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

if you keep the twist on low rates, you will be fine. that is the plane im currently flying and i bought it right after my trainer. i love it, but im now considering purchasing one of OMPs 47" profiles......but which one.........hmmmm

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Alrighty then, just rolled over to a month!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!! and to think i was looking at a week when I ordered it..... Learned my lesson the hard way this time, If ordering from the states to Canada, Always Always ship to the border and go pick it up yourself.

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Ouch! Looks like you're in virtually the same boat I am with these things. Sorry to hear that man. Make a couple of calls and see if you can't find it. I did that and I think I frustrated the postal services so much that they started getting their butts in gear. :)

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

Yeah I tried calling them once and they said they couldn't do anything unless i had a tracking number which i don't, I think I should call again and again and again.....What makes me mad is that I could have sent it by UPS International but I didn't know that it was by Phone or Email request only.... and i wastn' to worried because the first time I asked I was told about 1 week no mention untill later that it may be a month...

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

You can trace it on the recipients name (please excuse my spelling-I'm Afrikaans). We also had the same problem with the tracking number thing but they are able to trace it on your name. Although I wasn't sure ever if that worked. Have you phoned your local post office yet? Even with UPS i'm sure it wouldn't have helped much. Although you would have probably known that the package was sitting in customs. I would start by nagging the post office where you will be picking the package up from. Our Yaks showed on the papers that the package was lying at the post office for over two weeks. Another two or three weeks were taken up by customs. The amount of time the package actually spent on the road or travelling was minimal.

RE: Ordered AFP!!!!!!
 

5 weeks!!!!! and still going...... called the post office, and nothing. Well its going to make a good christmas present...
