How to fly easyfly-planes in AFPD?     (Written and tested by Hans Wonner)

1. Create a new subdirectory in the directory "Aerofly Professional Deluxe" and name it "easyfly".

2. In this new directory create two new subdirectories. Name them "aircraft" and "sound".

3. Unzip the easyfly-model to the new subdirectory "aircraft".

4. Move the sound-file (= wav-file) to the new subdirectory "sound".


Now the easyfly-model appears in the menu without preview-picture.


Compared with the "real" AFPD-models, the easyfly-models have the following restrictions:

1. There is no "weather" (wind, turbulence, thermic) for them. So there is no display in the
   wind rose and in the vario.
   But because the AFPD-3D-scenes are develloped from the easyfly-scenes, there are 3 fixed
   thermic regions like in the easyfly-scenes. If you find such a region, your plane will ascend,
   but there will be no display in the vario.

2. The ground is always smooth for easyfly-models.

3. The easyfly-planes fly through trees without crash.

4. You can´t make a video of easyfly-model-flights
   (but you can fly an easyfly-plane while playing a video of an AFPD-model-flight)

5, Easyfly-models have neither smoke nor exhaust nor hook.

6. You can´t use the editor.

Some easyfly-planes show the effect that parts of them are partially invisible in AFPD
(you can only see the rear part of a cylinder, it looks like a tub).
You can eliminate this effect:
Open the obj-file.
Control all the lines contenting "ambient".
If the 4th number behind "ambient" is 0.99, replace it by 1.00!
You can use WordPad for this task.
