Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 19, 2007 Aerosoft Share Posted January 19, 2007 The DHC2 Beaver was the best selling aircraft sold by Aerosoft online and now this aircraft is born again in a full FSX version.

Cheers, Steve If you are looking for a great place to fly from, try Sitka (A29 for the water runway or PASI for the main runway), we used it for most test flights as you can find water, snow and tarmac very close to this location.

KBR 0 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hey Mathijs, Does Aerosoft's new download server support download resuming? The last time I bought from Aerosoft, was when they were still on the old download shop server. I love your FS9 model so I'd really like to get this one for FSX, but I'm still using a dial up connection, it will take me about five or six download sessions. I can only do this if download resume is supported. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also consider the CD delivery option that simMarket.com has fot this product in your case as it is a big 248 Mb download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerPilot_46 0 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 After reading the description and reviewing all the great photos showning Aerosoft's new FSX Beaver, I couldn't wait to install it . I have been trying to download (using "Getright") the 233MB for the past 24 hours. I got as far as 53% complete and got kicked of the server with "unable to find site" error. After trying about 15 times including this morning, I 've decided to wait until everybody goes back to work and free up the servers . Anyone else having this problem?

ComputerPilot Seeing you wrote 'this morning' I am assuming you are calling in from the other side of the pond. I have been noticing slow connection over the Atlantic the whole day, so that could be an issue, But also our servers are indeed running at near full capacity, we are adding more and this should be solved soon. But if you keep having problems let me know please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsolomon 1 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Mathjiskok, I have to say that this package, in terms of variety, low cost, and taste, is probably the best aircraft add on I have ever purchased. I love how the focus is entirely on the VC, in particular the mounted garmin. Wonderful frame rates. The Yarutay Tundra Wheels, Bates Air Ampbib, and White Air River Services are my current major category favorites. The last of these planes, however, required a minor manipulation in order to work properly. It seems the texture.cfg file in the texture.cf-fhr folder was many lines short, lacking the fallback references to interior and pilot; hence, black vc. The solution was simple, as you have likely already figured out. I copied the texture.cfg file from a neighboring folder, and chose my desired interior and pilot, following the manual's instructions. Just wanted to let you know this minor problem I (and perhaps no one else) experienced, as the White Air exterior is fantastic. Also, I have a request, something which I think is right up your alley and would no doubt sell very well: a floats and amphib add on to the Maule - just a model/dynamics mod, not a completely redesigned aircraft. All bush pilots would eagerly pay, say $10-15 (I would pay more), and I can't think of any team more suited to the task. Thanks, Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sar71 110 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hello Mathijs, is their any chance that Aerosoft will update the FS9 version of the Beaver to the same high level as the new FSX Beaver? Greetings Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny 0 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I had no intentions of buying anything for FSX since I've spent a mint buying FS9 add-ons. Anyway, after looking at the screenies and the incredible list of details for the Beaver (and Richard's video too), I couldn't resist buying it. The price is unreal too! It's only $21.64 CAD. :wink: Puppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerPilot_46 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Mathijs, It's about 10PM California time and after many trys to download FSX Beaver, the process terminates after 2 or 3 resumes with 10 to 40% of the file downloaded, terminating the connection with error message: " file not found on the server" :?: . Maybe I should have order the CD version! I download lots of huge files weekly and never experienced this problem for such a long lime. Adding another server hasn't helped me. Am I the only one having this problem? Regards, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBR 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yes, it will resume downloads. Also consider the CD delivery option that simMarket.com has fot this product in your case as it is a big 248 Mb download. Thanks for the reply and infomation. I did consider getting the BeaverX package over at the Simmarket, but getting it over there, I'd have to pay full price, plus an extra 20USD for the CD, bringing the total cost above 40USD. This kind of puts it out of my budget. Before I make any desisions, I was wondering if there are any plans for a boxed version? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
