Heli release installation

[balsanova]

before installing the heli release, G3 was installed and all of the add-on ( 1 to 5 )were installed and everthing was fonctionning ok. I had modified many planes from G3 and from add-on 2 and add-on 5 and made copy of them.

The installation of heli release when very well with no problem . When i started g3 again the plane from the last time g3 was running was there and was working well.
The problem begin when i when to the menu airplane to see if the heli were there , the g3 message was that g3 could not find the copy of a plane that i had modify and at that moment the system crash and G3 closed.

I have try to reinstalled all the add-on but g3 still crashed.

I need to be very clear on the steps needed to reproduce your issue.

Let me know if I have any part of this wrong:

You had a copy of an airplane (which one?) loaded when you last shut down the sim before the heli install. After the install you started the sim and the airplane you last had loaded was there. You opened the aircraft selection dialog and the sim gave a message that it could not find the airplane that you had loaded then crashed.

If this is all correct, all I need to help reproduce this is the name of the plane that you were using at the time of the crash. Also, it might be helpful if you included your system specifications e.g. cpu, ram, os, video card, etc.

i have solved the problem , but i dont know why g3 does that .

what i have done. i went to

C:\Program Files\RealFlightG3\Planes

and manually deleted all the copy of the plane i have created (6)

and restart G3 . and voila everything works ok now. I dont know why this work .

It seems that the heli upgrade do not like copy of plane.


May be i should have try to delete one at a time to see witch one was causing the problem.

i just have try the heli. i think that it is as close as the real thing as it can get with a simulator. Much better that G2. Very good work

I am having the same problems as well..
I am talking if I load a heli and fly it.. then switch
to another heli .. fly it.,. then close the G3 Program .
Then come back to it later the First Heli will be there :eek:
this is something I can deal with until you guys get it figured out! ;)
never had this problem until I did the Heli Update,.

Anyways I am so VERY IMPRESSED with the Heli Update! (how they fly
and look) :D
THANKS so much!

I was *not* able to reproduce this problem by: 1) installing RF 2) installing AO2 3) copying and editing the Fly Baby 4) installing the heli update 5) running RF and opening the aircraft selection dialog. My edited Fly Baby worked just fine. Perhaps it was the specific plane that you were using or even the specific kind of editing you did to the plane. I'm sorry you had to delete your edited planes - it would have been nice to track this bug down. Could you let me know specifically what plane you were using when RF would crash?

While I believe that this has happened to you, I'm not sure we have all the details. This kind of behavior is very improbable given the code changes made for the heli release and program logic as it relates to saving your current aircraft on exit. I was not able to reproduce this issue by installing RF, installing the heli update, running RF, loading different helis, exiting, and then re-starting the sim. Each time the heli that I had loaded when I exited the sim was the one I had when I restarted the sim. Could you give me VERY specific steps to reproduce this as well as some system specifications?
