Hello

I wish you all a happy new year and happy landings.

Version 5 is ready for download. Some helicopters and scenes are still missing (and also the user's manual), but this will come.

http://www.heli-x.net/download.shtml

Many many thanks to all the contributors, the beta testers, the mdoel creators, the scene makers.....
In particular, I want to mention Jan for the many many new models, Torsten and Rolf for their continuous support in model creation, and Paul for the great scenes which make use of the capabilities of HELI-X.

Users of Version 4: You have to download the demo version 5 and activate it. You can use both versions in parallel.

I wish you the best

Michael

was ist mit den Beta-Usern ? - haben wir schon die aktuelle Final ?

ich geh mal aktualisiernen ... mal schauen was passiert ...

//edit: Yes, Sir ... works perfect ...

kurze Frage noch: wie kann ich die untere Statusleiste wieder einschalten ? - da stand immer schön übersichtlich die Drehzahl und mehr ...

Sicht->Statuszeile ein.

Betatester müssen gar nichts machen, die haben die aktuelle Version.

Why does it not see my controller? It worked with alle the beta-4 versions.
Why does it not handle failed downloads in a human-friendly (or automatic) way?

I was running the lastest beta and downloaded version 5.
It crashed during startup (liblwjgl.jnilib).
Then I moved Library/HELI-X5 away (on mac/mavericks).
And started to download helis and airports again.

Two hours later (after a lot of frustration with stalling downloads that were stuck for 10-12 minutes before I was given an opportunity to retry), I notice that it can’t see the controller anymore. The two other sims I have (cgm and aerofly), can. So my controller connection is OK. It did not crash.

The lastest beta-4 crashes with Library/HELI-X5 from version 5, and version 5 crashes with Library/HELI-X5 from the latest beta-4. So the latest beta-4 and the final version are not the same.

Here is a fragment of the crash report, heli-x5 with Library/HELI-X5 from the latest 4-beta:

You are on Mac? Please remove the folder HEli-X5 in your personal library folder and install HELI-X 5 again.

Thanks Michael!

Despite having been beta tester, I completely removed the old files and re-installed new, just to get rid of my old testing stuff . Win7 64bit. Worked like a charm! Installed, registered, calibrated, done .

That’s what I did. And it could not see the controller with the 5 final release. Before I removed the HELI-X5 folder it could not start without crashing. I already wrote that.
Now I have removed version 5 and restored the latest beta (5.0.1401) and $HOME/Library/HELI-X5 from backup and the controller works again.

Could you please send me via email the
jinput.jar and the libjinput_osx.jnilib from your HELI-X5 folder in your personal library?

Thanks

Michael

Those that work or those that don’t?
