Please iIneed your help with my AFPD..the problem I am having is half the jet's that I have in my AFPD have no elevator control up or down.....the others are ok....my 3D planes don't fly smooth...they fly jittery in rolls........everything use to be fine...don't know what changed? do I need to reinstall my AFPD? I have a new Dell 700 2.99GHz with Windows XP Pro with 4 gig's of ram...the video card is a Gforce 7900 GS 256ram....the pc does everything else fine..plays pc games, video's fine.......have done a complete pc check with Dell dianogtics and everything was fine.......so I am lost as to why my AFPD does not peforme like it use to.......thanks for any help on this problem.

Are you using your own TX?Then you need to switch to PPM on you transmitter.If you are using a module type TX don't forget to remove the module.Also some Jets use Elevons not elevators so you need to go back into your settings and confirm you have them selected to the correct channels on your TX.

Toby,
Did you changed or revoved anything from the directory "...aircraft\airfoil? Cause that is were the control of your elevator ect. is stored. Removing files from that directory causes trouble. Your pc is allright and Aerofly should work great. Hope you will slove the problem.

Greetings,

Leen

If the cable went bad then contact Ikarus directly right there in FL. The contact info is in the back of your manual and they are the ONLY ones who can service a bad cable. No dealer can even touch the cables as they are proprietary and that's what copyright protects the software. The cables are guaranteed so should not even cost you anything except shipping. Call first though and maybe they can diagnose over the phone.

has it EVER worked on the new computer? or just on the old one?

Did you install the software on the new system or just move it??

My cable has been going bad for quite some time, I have to hold it over to the side to make it work...I'll need to send mine in. Thanks.

Last year I sent my cable back as it was legitimately bricked, it just got warm and didn't work at all. They replaced it for free despite the fact that it was way out of warranty.

You know that over in RC Universe they have a dedicated AFPD support site. Just go to the aircraft site > Flight Sims> AFPD Support. The gent answering the questions on that site is very good on getting the problems worked out if you have any.
Second thought I should check this site for the same.I'm new to FG.
