Title: Dragon Rapide Problem
Post by Jean Loup on Jan 9^th, 2013 at 10:29am

The page where the problem exists: http://simviation.com/fs2004vintage32.htm

Where on the page the problem exists: "FS2004 De Havilland Dh89a Dragon Rapide Package. New version of my Dragon Rapide, now incudes a new panel and fully working Virtual Cockpit, plus other updates. Complete aircraft, no other files needed. Includes custom panel. By Dave Garwood, Dave Booker, Saverio Maurri and Brian Withers. Sounds by Mike Hambly. 8MB Filename: fs9_dh89.zip"

Any error message received: NONE. After download & unZipping in my PC, the Aplication FS9_Dh89a just sits there & NOTHiNG happens, after Clicking it.

Gracias! (This annoys me a litle, because without this aircraft installed in FS 2004, I can't add the "texture only" Rothmans with Skydivers skin.)

Well that's the old site for a start ..... and I can see some textures linked to it (now updated)

Try the same file name in the main site :

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. :)

OK: downloaded & extracted, then RUN ... :-?

Weird: extracting again... :o

Same problem again BUT new message: :-?

Starting to install ... :D

Hope VANiSHES fast! No install: after repeat, same NoNo ... >:(

This is the file that does install DH-89 on my copy of FS 2004. :)

I decided to install the Rothmans TEXTURE file to this version of DH-89, then configure the AiRCRAFT.CFG file, BUT ... :(

MODEL ONLY! No paint at all! :P

But Classic Lady is OK: now has Skydivers!
;)

(BUT behind the wing rigging ...)
:-X

Well, like we say in México: Ni MODO! Gracias for your patience, amigos. 8-)

Well, the old file from the old site, FiNALLY installed well: my Vista OS I'm not used to, yet! Was using XP for the last 8 years: it does not have all this "singularities". I had to open the installer as LeftClikMenu\Run as ADMiNiSTRATOR. Hopefully, this might help other 70 year old Rookie's!!

I even istalled a repaint on it: the Rothman's with Skydivers! [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]

Sorry for this inconvinience, my ignorance is the culprit [smiley=dankk2.gif] [smiley=dankk2.gif] [smiley=dankk2.gif]
