"No Helicopter selected" on Yosemite

Post by HamOp »

Hi,

I'm struggling with installing Heli-X 6 on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite - I can select different flying scenarios, but no helicopter - it always displays "no helicopter selected". I already deleted and re-installed everything (including Java) a few times, but nothing helps.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Stefan

Hi,

I tried in both Demo and Full Version. I can select a scene, but when I select a helicopter, the green circle mouse pointer appears for a second and then nothing happens. I will have a look in the terminal and post the result.

Hi,

I just had a look - the terminal shows nothing when I try to load a model.

Yes, this is what I looked at. All it shows is that it has set up the right paths to the library (checked them, they are correct) found the controller and loaded the PPM configuration. After that, nothing happens in the terminal anymore when I select a scenery or a model. Scenery is loaded, however, but none of the models - but there is no error message or anything. On my other Mac, this is the same in the terminal, but I can load sceneries and models and everything works fine.

On both machines, there is the same MacOS Version and the same Java Version installed.

Helicopters need more OpenGL capabilities than the airports. Maybe your graohics driver is not capable of what is needed. You might try to have a look in the console (Finder->Applications->Utilities->Console) to see error messages.
