Thanks but both the original and J-Bug(2) already have a "Slowfly.wav" file that the program uses for something (I renamed it "engine.wav" and the program crashed looking for Slowfly.wav). I added the engine.wav file from the Cessna and also added it renamed "J-Bug.wav" -- none of this has worked so far.

So, it looks like none of the following engine wave files work:
Slowfly.wav
J-Bug.wav
Engine.wav

Ideas?

Oh!!! Using the editor!!! Got it!! Working now. Thanks!!!

Find the dart, when you are ready to build your first scratchbuild, it will fly alot like the sim.

Yosef, the kolibri might fly like an ember as well or maybe the guff.

Mr TymbreWolf,

Thanks for the suggestions - I tried them both and I think I'll stick with the J-Bug to simulate the Ember 2. I need to crank up the wind though to get the real effect of trying to fly it...

How do you program the models to fly in the sim? I can get a whole pile of models, but I don't know how to make them work in the sim.

Yosef, you should build a j-bug. Just bits of foam.

There is a great guide to getting started making aircraft included with the sim (at least with the non BMI version). I think it's in the same folder as the editor.

Where's the aircraft editor?

This seems to have a broken link now - anyone has a correct link to download this?

In the same folder RCDeskPilot is installed to. It's not included with the BMI sim.

Thanks a lot, I will try to make a few planes.

I also need to know how to change my model files into the .x format. Can anybody help me here?

Use blender I think the .x exporter is disabled by default, so go file>user preferences>addons tab> search for .x and check the box to enable it. It has a steep learning curve, so if you need any help look around on the forums and feel free to PM me.

My RC Tech controller has a problem. I cannot get throttle (CH 3) to go to zero. Is there an easy fix or do I just buy another?
Thanks in advance,
Jim Deck
