FlightSim Developers P38 Lighting demo beta

We have built the demo version of the P38 and have tested it in house. If anyone would like to try the public beta for the demo you may do so here:

http://www.fsd-international.com/Hangar/P38/demobeta.htm

We are calling this a beta simply because we don't have enough in-house beta testers with a broad range of operating systems, like Vista 64, and of anti-virus programs, etc. So while it should work fine, we may need to do some tweaking.

If any problems come up we will get your demo installed so you can have a look at this beautiful bird.

John,

Yes I believe so. I think this is a permissions issue that we can avoid. I am uploading new installers right now. Try downloading it again in a while and see if that clears it up.

What operating system and anti-virus do you use?
 
Hi,

First, thanks for creating a demo so we can try it out before making the decision to purchase.

However, I'm getting the same issue with the demo that others are reporting with the upgrade in that I don't see many gauges in the restored or standard models (I see the face of one but not the needles) and it also appears that most of the labels in the cockpit are missing.

I'm running Win7 Pro x64 RTM. I have FSX on its own (D) drive. The installer did throw up an error message at the end even though I installed as Administrator. I was prompted to allow the FSD dll when I launched FSX after the install and the 6 versions appear in the aircraft selection menu so I thought all was good but...

Any help in being able to try out all the features before the time limit runs out would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

PS. I just saw your question about AV software above; I'm using AVG 8.5.421 (Free Edition)
 
I've got the same problem as everyone else; no guage needles or readings. I'm running XP Pro 3.
 
i am trying to download
but i keep getting not complete files
i have downloaded the small version 3 times

Okay, I downloaded again. Now I get this error message: "Error 1077: The license information you provided could not be validated." It's the correct information, so...???

Unable to download error happens repeatedly with a server reset. Does this mean it's busy or is there some other conflict likely? Tried on three different computers with IE7 and IE8, all three going through the same router though.

Edit: Seems I can't download anything from FSD so I suspect I've a more serious problem locally. Going to be hard to pin down since I can't duplicate the issue with other web sites.

Same here. Uninstalled the first one and it still didn't take.
 
Based on your feedback I think I see the problem. Should have something for you tomorrow. Hopefully I can get you a small program which will format the data in your OS properly without having to re-download it. But I can't promise that.

The file downloads might have been problematic because I think our server got overloaded at one point this morning.

Is anyone seeing error numbers show up in Windows XP?

Nope....


The installer made me close my secunia security program...then it had an error installing.



Error 102: The byte count for the internal archive of this installer is incomplete.
The most likely cause is an incomplete file download..
