More Information on PRE-Flight |
PRE-Flight FAQ.Does PRE-Flight require a special interface to use my transmitter? For best performance, PRE-Flight needs the PRE-Flight interface. This enables you to use up to 16 proportional channels from your transmitter. Helicopter models require at least 5 proportional channels while the more advanced planes need 5 or more to control flaps, retractable landing gear, etc. Using your transmitter (as opposed to an ordinary computer joystick) enables you to simulate flying more closely as well as being able to use transmitter features like exponential and dual rates. To obtain an interface, see this link.PRE-Flight ran OK - but now I get a "Generic application error…Switching to the reference rasterizer…". I hit OK, then get "Generic application error…This sample will now exit." Delete the file "pf.ini" (in the directory where PRE-Flight was installed) which sometimes gets corrupted. This is a known issue (on some PCs) and has been corrected in ver 1.8a.I can't sucessfully download the install file.Try again later - the site is probably congested. Perhaps, try at a different time of day. Also, try the other sites in the PRE-Flight download page.The install file downloads but seems to be corrupted - downloading again does not help.The "cached" copy of pf.zip maintained by your internet service provider (ISP) is corrupted - contact your ISP and inform them. Or try one of the alternate sites.I get the message "A required .DLL file, DINPUT 8.DLL, was not found."Install DirectX ver 8.0 or higher - see this link: http://www.microsoft.com/directx/default.aspPRE-Flight starts but runs very slowly.Make sure you install the latest "DirectX 8" compliant drivers for your video card. Then re-install DirectX 8.0 (or higher).PRE-Flight complains about "Switching to software rasterizer".Make sure you have a 3D accelerator card with at least 8MB memory. Also, install the latest "DirectX 8" compliant drivers for your video card. Then (re)install DirectX 8.0 (or higher).PRE-Flight starts but all I get is a black or strange-looking screen.Try setting the number of colors on your display to 16(recomnmended) or 32. If this does not work, a program may be interfering with DirectX. For Win 95/98/ME users, try running msconfig and disabling all Startup programs except systray. If PRE-Flight and other DirectX programs work, then isolate the offending program and uninstall it. Also, this may need the latest video drivers (see above).I can't seem to make my joystick's other axes/channels work.You have to modify the controls to suit your particular joystick.1)Select Joystick+Keys under Controls.2)Press the button under "conf" for desired control (say, throttle).3)Select "joystick" and channels 1-8(depending on joystick) then press OK.4)Now press Test and see if the Throttle bar now responds properly - if not repeat steps 2-4.I can't interface my RC transmitter to PRE-Flight.You'll need the PRE-Flight transmitter interface. To build/purchase one, see this link.PRE-Flight was running before - now I can't run it sucessfully.The pf.ini file may be corrupted - try deleting it. This is a known issue with some PC's and is corrected in version 1.8a.
