AFPD installation

Sun Jan 9 05:14:42 AKST 2005

I noticed that the smaragd need some mixes and cg change but it looks
like a good start. I will be very interested in your version.
I am surprised that you can't share the file. How come we could download
so many additional planes from various sites ? What's the difference ? I
beleive that this option is what would make a simulateur more
interesting.

Xavier - the Smaragd needs LOTS of tweaks to get it "near pattern".
Evidently, the default design was NOT programmed in AFP by a pattern
pilot (at least not a competitive one!)
    I am nearly done tweaking mine, and it's getting very close, but I
have been admonished by the US distributor/rep that making the modified
airplane files available is a violation of the software EULA for the
product, so I can't share the files.
    I *can* write down the parameters, and will do so shortly and post
that on my website.

Thanks to all who gave suggestions. I try all of them actually before my
first messsage :-)

It seems that my CD reader is at fault. I tried 2D different CD on my PC
with the same result. I tried my CD on a friend's PC and it worked righ
away. My PC is only about 2 months old and I will get in contact with my
salesman ASAP. 

I was able to play with AFPD with my friend and we are both impressed.
We tried various planes and they all behave very realistically. He had
the same trouble with the shockflyer that he has with his real one. I
was having as much fun with the Shockflyer and other 3D planes that I
have with my real ones. He was good with the heli and was struggling.
Same in the real life. The Smarag fly very similar to my real pattern
plane. One thing we notice was that all the CG's were too much forward
to our taste.

I can't wait to have it working here.

Seems a kind of copy protection you may want to contact Aerofly. Did you

have tried to install from de Hard Drive or Directly from the CDROM. 
Maybe you could try to copy all installation files to a folder in the 
Hard Drive and try again
