    Real Flight 9.5 Installation Trojans/virus problems

    in Simulators

    Posted

    My old gaming laptop running windows10 ran RF9.5 with no problems.

    invested in a new gaming laptop running windows11, now RF will not load, frozen screen with sound still working in background???

    I have tried updates and suggested fixes, even transferring to steam no joy.

    I would expect RF 9.5 to run on a new laptop or a fix/patch to be available.

    Many folks have the same issues????

    anybody had the same problem and found a fix ???

     

    Cheers🙂 

     

    Hobby King Scam Be ware

    in R/C Retailers / Distributors / Manufacturers

    Posted

    last year I ordered a model,  " Hobbyking P-51 Galloping Ghost Mustang".

    Model was  taking some time to be delivered, After according to tracking, several delivery attempts and on each date I was present at the address  informed model had been rejected at delivery address???

    Contacted hobbyking ,informed by hobbyking that a refund or new model would be sent.

    Time went by when  I contacted HK they said I had refused delivery and the model (package) had been destroyed????

    No delivery attempt was made at my shipping address, HK refused to accept this saying I had rejected Delivery, not only had I no model and £140 out of pocket but making out that I was a liar.

    I will never use Hobbyking again, the customer service rubbish, it is like talking to a brick wall.

    I will make a video on youtube when I get time to give more detailed account because this went on for several months.

    I believe the package/model went to my post code but the post code covers 70+ house numbers on a  mile or so of road, the carrier must have delivered to the wrong house number.

    Will stick with MotionRC in future ?

    If my club registers then I will comply for the sake of my club.

    If I have to register as an individual then I will leave my club and free fly as I did for several years.

    I am making a stand . This is a hobby with a very good safety record.

    People who buy drones and fly them near airports, main roads, smuggling goods into prison and so on are not going to register so how do we who on the whole fly with safety in mind ,insurance and obey air laws be forced to register when so called drones have been around for 10 years or so without causing any loss of life due to an air strike etc.

    The Police have a lot more to deal with than someone with a toy aircraft, although you can get arrested for raising your voice to your wife (ask me how I know).

    So bring it on you sad little PC law makerscheekydisgustcrook

    Hi

    Thanks for the feedback will contact Mike Ridley when I find the time.

    Update on charging, charged up with the wall wart fully charged.

    Several minutes after taking off charge it switched itself on.Turned it off, 5 mins or so later it switched itself on again?? switched it off ,waited half hour did not restart.

    Been in is box 3days.Just checked still showing voltage loss.

    will check to see if anything glows later.

    I have 3x Futaba 6ex TX never any problems on the ground or in the air.

    It puts you off a leading brand name even if it is an easy fix.

    Just put one of these together after sitting in my room for several years.list of faults flaws-
    Wings have a bit of a gap in the join.
    Switch for esc fell off the fusalage.
    Gap between LE and fusalage.
    Retracts nightmare doors fouling square gear covers fouling uc legs.gear doors stand proud of wing.
    Both aileron hinges splitting only use to set up radio.
    Strap for lipo poor.
    Apart from those nigles very nice model.
    I purchased a DX6e with a 610 rx. Impressed with this radio gears ease of use simples.having to use the bind plug is a bit of a bind being used to the simpler futaba.
    Will post some pics soon.
