Die Dreamfleet Archer ist auch ein Topmodel Oli. Aus welchem Grund auch immer, bekomme ich das Original Panel auf meinem Windows 7,
64-bit System nicht mehr zum laufen (vermutlich Reality XP).@Andreas: Wie Du vielleicht auf den Screenshots gesehen hast, funktionieren die Nav-Instrumente nicht, sie bleiben schwarz.
The Dreamfleet GPS-related gauges at that time used a GPS simulator created by Garmin to help educate Garmin GPS users on the operation of the units. While the gauges were okay, the Garmin simulator was the culprit - that was the component that would no longer run. I think it was a 16-bit application.
The problem with the Dreamfleet Archer extended beyond that. Many of the switches would not longer operate once a user had moved to a 64-bit platform. Bits were missing from the panel entirely, and some features of the simulation would no longer work.
I contacted Dreamfleet about it at the time, and their response was to discontinue support. It's the problem of reliance on 3rd parties. Sometimes we get the rug pulled from under us. I've no doubt that Dreamfleet could have invested in encapsulating the Garmin unit in some way, to allow it to operate as it used to across platforms. I think they just decided that they'd gotten the sales from it that they needed.
It's a real pity, since I remember it being a very nice simulation of the aircraft family that I learned to fly on, probably the best one.
