Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / September 2004Help! Need .exe for R/C Aerochopper!
Okay, as pathetic as it sounds I finally dragged out my old Pentium 66 to play this on as it won't work with Windows XP. The controller is here and fine but I can't find the disk with the simulator on it. I can't even find the company that made it (assuming out of business) so I am hoping that someone somewhere out there happens to have the file handy! Thanks! Hi DragonRider, I would recommemder Reflex XTR instead however, if you want Aerochopper I may have a copy somewhere . . in the attic!

I know this program is an absolute antique but I already had it from when it was new. As it is I found the diskette.. Yep, little pastic 1.44meg doohicky. Talk about antique's! <grin> Thanks though. Lord knows I need to get my Raptor back in the air before the dust bunnies fly it to Hawaii. WOW!!! I TOO have the controller but lost the old software! I'd LOVE to fire it up for old times sake though so if you can send me the program, I'd be in your debt! Thanks, Fred Send to REMOVEfred@goldiesplatingREMOVE.com don't forget to remove the two "REMOVE's" first! >>Hi DragonRider, >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Lord knows I need to get my Raptor back in the air before the dust > bunnies fly it to Hawaii. > Okay, as pathetic as it sounds I finally dragged out my old Pentium 66 > to play this on as it won't work with Windows XP.

Seems we are all going back onto Sims over the Winter months to polish up Heli Flying (Myself Included), I have 2 new Scale Heli's being done ready for next year and so am using the Sim to keep up my practice where weather does not permit here. Still good fun and a lot warmer sat in the house practising and cheaper too if you crash...!!! Even My 15 Yr Old Nephew is having a go now but he will be relegated to the trainer next year, I am flying the scale jobbies...!!! I have a Nice Hughes 500E and a Bell 230UT getting ready for roll out...full scale jobs...me Nephew can fly the Shuttle ZZX till he gets used to it.

Sounds like you have a few nice projects going. Any pictures of them? I used to have a pair of GMP Cobra's back in the late 80's (anyone even remember them?) and one had a Bell 222 body though I forget where it came from. May have been a Kalt body or similar. I spent a long time on that thing to get it set up the way I wanted, the retracts to work just right, everything painted, even my lame attempt at rivet details, etc...t hen never could bring myself to fly it with it on there.. Just in case! hehe. There were actually two reasons I brought mine out, one of which being the aforementioned fun and practice, but the other was simple self defence. Somewhere out there my GF happened to see a video of an RC chopper doing 3D tricks and knew I had the one sitting on my cabinet. She wanted to see how well she could do it. The simulator came in REALLY handy when it took her a reasonable amount of time to figure out which basic controls did what. Now I'm ready to show her what the actual controller is that does the flying (that nice little 8 channel digital Futaba from hell) and see what she thinks about it. Evil? Maybe.. but I have no doubt she would be able to master it in short order with my Raptor. It's great to have a GF that is into gadgets. As it is I can't play combat with the Aerobirds without her figuring new ways to shoot me out of the sky!

Well let's hope you get it then :-) SignatureBeav Please note my E-mail address is "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) Beavisland now lives at www.beavisoriginal.co.uk Thanks Beav for the files! NOW one problem....... I can't find the cable to connect controller to my pc!!!! :o( Anyone know the wiring schematics so I can fabricate my own????

I suspect you'll find those pretty hard to come by these days Freddie, considering the cable came with a transmitter hard wired to one end of it. Hard wired as in it wasn't plug-in at the Tx end, just the 'puter end. SignatureBeav Please note my E-mail address is "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) Beavisland now lives at www.beavisoriginal.co.uk Not so!!! My controller connected to my pc thru a rear plug on the back center (where the training cable GOES ??? on a Futaba) of the Tx. Thanks, Freddy >> Thanks Beav for the files! >> NOW one problem.......

I never saw an Aerochopper that connected to a regular transmitter. The transmitter I got with Aerochopper was purpose built for Aerochopper only. Where the antenna would come out is where the cable came out. There was no way to remove this cable from the transmitter and the other end of the cable had a DB-25 connector on the end of it. > Not so!!!

I remember them coming with a Futaba Conquest (Challenger over here) Tx with the lead coming out of the antenna hole. I never saw one with a plug on both ends, or a plug on one and a dongle on the other. Sorry though, I can't help with a wiring schematic:-( SignatureBeav Please note my E-mail address is "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) Beavisland now lives at www.beavisoriginal.co.uk |
