You have to do a manual install of the upgrade and already have 430 installed...

They emailed me this link and it work.

I just Updated my software to the 3.00.448 version and when I started the program and ready to fly, the runway and the airplane started blinking white, and those two are the only one that blinks. Does anyone knows if there is any patch for this or any solution?? thanks

Joe45,

I haven't heard of this problem before. Could you post a screenshot along with your computer specifications? Thanks.

I'm new to the forum so don't know where to post this question.

My G3 has been installed for several months now, but yesterday it wouldn't start when I was going to have my 6 year old grandson give it a try.

The error message said the program was corrupted by a bad disk sector, or a virus, and to re-install. I'm running windows XP. Tried a complete reinstallation, but was never asked for serial number, or to register, etc., and got same error message again.

Ideas or help anyone?

Thanks, Steve

Hi-

If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated...

I am trying to get the online updates for G3 and it continues to fail to download all the files...the download will make progress, and seems to download some files, but then it seems to hang at a certain point (which varies from time to time) and fails to download the entire request - it will notify me of teh failure and ask me if I want to try to download the file again, but, as I try again, the issue just happens over and over. When I cancel out, the error is: KEError 21012 (screen image attached)

I have spent hours trying to download to the latest update...

My current version is 3.00.329 because I just reinstalled after trying a full uninstall - reinstall (which didn't help either)

I also tried the "manual updates" .exe file posted in one of the above threads but still ran into the same issue

My system details are below:

Here is the latest manual download, as it will not update when running Real Flight program...I had to do this last time as well...

This will update you to 3.5 version 044 which is the latest version and works on G3 3.00 . Not sure if you can update to a higher version or that you need to do each one seperate?

The single file update needs to be applied only AFTER you have G3 updated to a specific version.

If you do this prior to installing the requisit update you'll have strange results or errors AFAIK.

I'm having the same problem and this old post (2005) has links that dont work any more any help?...is there hope for me to download the latest 3.5 update as I bought the latest version in Australia where I live and the Cd for the 3.5 update gives me the same response

Opjose Hi

Thanks for the links.....in ran the Fixit.exe

took about 2 seconds as others have noted.....my computer behaved oddly for a few minutes...then allowed me to shutdown and reboot

After reboot the CD would not autstart....but it ran manual install in the Run on the Start menu...just directed it to the CD and it installed G3.5 without an issue

Iam now up and going

So thankyou for your attention

When I launch G3.5, I now get error KEError12212. Then I get 21039 indicating not able to update.

I am open to suggestions.

Don

[jeffpn]

Both of your error codes are listed in the error codes sticky in this forum.

I have been using RealFlight G3.5 for a while now and had the sinking Heli Max Axe problem so i updated to the latest update to fix it but it still sinks. I came on here and a guy said to uninstall everything and reinstall so i did except i didn't uninstall the serials but everything else i did. Reinstalled and now it won't connect to online updates. I installed the 0.44 launcher or whatever it is and still no luck.

The following error codes are what i get:

KEError 12217 : Read 0 bytes from socket when data expected.
Description: 0


KEError 12228 : HTTP response is missing an expected header.


KEError 21039 : Unable to obtain latest available version number; server transaction failed.



Please help
