Lionheart said:
Yep.. dang. You cant activate it. Im sorry Heywood. We'll get you a refund ASAP.


How do you get your planes activated when you purchase them?

Alabeo and Sibwings were no problem - I just unpacked them on the laptop and transferred to the PC on a disc

they did not search for FSX on the laptop - just let me save to desktop

**bummer - I'd rather have the plane than the refund - lol
 
I am disappointed to say that I was hoping the Fairchild series would be as good as the Pacer. It's better! :icon_lol:
 
heywood?.....and Lionheart....some of the vendors sometimes offer a CD/DVD backup.....can maybe bill get someone like the guys at PCAviator to offer a CD back up to the purchace?..and then just have Mark over there at PC Aviator send heywood the CD and leave the accual download on his "account" at pc avaitor?...
 
I do the same thing.

ok - I do not have fsx on my laptop - so that stops the installer there
and since I do not have the internet on my pc - that stops the installer there....
I'm stuck...and still no reply from the vendor

I follow the same procedure that you follow. All downloads for ANYTHING come through one desktop PC (that does NOT have any Flight Sim software on it) for virus checking and are transferred via USB flash drive after checking.

I have NOT had any problems crop up on my FSX/CFS2 PCs using this method so it works for me. Looks like I can't purchase either.

The problem is that the installer is online-activated. If the installer cannot get the ok from home base, the package is invisible. What ever computer it runs on, it must have an online activation or it doesn't work.

To be clear - it must have an Online activation -AND- FSX installed on it or it doesn't work...

thats the extra difference that put the hole in my boat and that others who do the same thing need to know for certain

Also for clarity - sibwings and alabeo both require online activation but NOT fsx - so after they ping the host - I can run the installer to a folder on the desktop then transfer to my PC

Bill - thanks for the PM - I have replied
Sorry to have distracted from your release thread...

No problem. Others will need to know that do this system that you use.


Note, you can install to P3D only if you wish. Its a dual Prepar3D and FSX installer.

HELP

ok I puchased and installed it. in the select a/c all the thumbnails show up, the a/c show up in the display but they do not show up in the sim:isadizzy: In the outside view all I get is red flashing beacon light nothing else, switch to the VC and all I get is the 2 knobs of the Narco radio nothing else. I do get the 2d panel but no interior views if I pan around.

Also in the a/c folders I see a panel folder and a panel backup or panel blocked folder, the backup and blocked folders see to have all the goodies in it and in the panel folder I see this in the cfg file:
[FLTSIM]
product_code=FSIM
alias=..\..\terrain.1\Mountains\101203040\Belaire
what's with this??
There was mention in the release statement about the the textures being 2048 but could be reduced 1024 so maybe I need that?

Hey RedDog,

Question one, no plane: Try rebooting the sim. There are two modules that need to be running for the plane to show up. Let me know if that didn't work.

Question two, alias': Yes, files all over tarnation.

Question three: Try the reboot before you try the smaller textures route. Lets get your plane visible.
 
Found them first up Bill. Usually do a look around the cockpit of any new aircraft just too find the click hot spots.

One thing I could not find though was the starter. According to the pilots manual it is on the Magneto switch. Then manual says Magneto/Starter but the magneto only moves as far as 'BOTH'.

Any ideas?

EDIT: NO worries I have found it. Wasn't toggling it hard enough.

Ok no go. Rebooted the sim got the same thing, rebooted the computer and sim and still get the same thing. Below my cp specs:
Processor:intel core2duo 3.0ghz E8400
Motherboard; ASUS P5N-T deluxe
RAM: KIngston HyperX DDR2 1066 PC2 8400 4 ghz
v card; ASUS 9800GTX+ 512 mb
Windows XP Home
I thought with old system I might need the smaller texture sets but I have no problems running the new staggerwing or Stinson so don't know if thats the problem.
 
Got it, love it, Thanks Bill

Bill, I think this may be your best effort yet. I am delighted with it. I especially want to thank you for not building the panel into the model itself as a lot of builders are doing. It is nice to be able to "fiddle" with the panel, if and when I want to.

Thanks again, from a very happy customer
