Helmut Lelke's design analysis It won't work for me!!

[Mtntop]

I downloaded it from the old CRRC sight then when it opens it says


enter airplane design dir\filename.ext:


Now what? how do I input my own parameters?

I don't know if this link will help, (did a google on 'Helmut Lelke's design analysis' this was one of the hits).

Helmut Lelke's Design Analysis (http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articles/design/helmutlelkedesignanalysis.htm)

I still prefer to guess :D

Yep thats where I tried it at. I've designed most of mine by TLAR but now I'm into something thats a little out of the ordinary so I thought this might help.

Thanks anyway

You have to enter the data for your design in the template file (da_templ.des) and save it under a new name. This is the file name (including extension) you enter when the programme prompts you.
If the input file is not in the same directory as the programme, you will have to add the path name to the file. Remember that this is an old DOS programme and it might be better to run it at the DOS prompt.

The results are appended to the input file.

Of course, if you're stuck, you could always read the documentation that comes with the programme. :rolleyes: :D

:cool:

Old DOS... Wow that takes me back! Thanks for the info and help.
