PS  You're a little low on your approach in that photo. LOL   (Just being a smartass to cover my initial embarrassment at not spotting the indicator)  But probably that's not you flying that plane.

I knew someone was gonna poke at me about that  :-[

Good morning everyone. As usual, have a few Q's I hope you can help with. I tried to download a version of the Piper Cub featured on this site's home page today and, when I tried to install,

Hagar: I uninstalled Adobe 9 as you suggested but I still get that message. And your guess was correct. I had installed it recently but never use it.

Denis. It's Adobe AIR you need to uninstall. This is a separate application from Adobe Reader 9.

I should have explained that all FS aircraft have AIR files. These define the flight dynamics & are not Auto Installers. They have nothing whatsoever to do with Adobe AIR. The only way you will get that error message is by double-clicking on an FS AIR file. There is absolutely no need to do this unless you wish to modify it. This is best left to the experts. Install the aircraft manually in the usual way & it should work fine.

PS. You will need Adobe Reader installed to read instructions & web pages in PDF format.

HAGAR: My error. I didn't see Adobe AIM in my programs -- I don't have it -- so I assumed you meant Adobe 9. I will reinstall it.  Sorry for this confusion.  I am not very literate in computers.

Bret: Yes. My doc pal wasn't kidding. He said it does raise your cardio rate if you approach it  seriously. It  does mine. As I explained  earlier, I had to quit taking lessons  in a Cub when I had an inexplicable panic attack years ago. I have since never been comfortable in commercial planes and have been downright terror-stricken when, for purposes of my work, I had to go up in small planes and choppers.  I wonder if flying sim will help me with this. I'll find out the next time I fly, I guess. It's an interesting theory, though.
