Hi there,
I bought my Real Flight G3.5 Sim last February of 2007 and installed the program on my computer. I'm running a Windows XP OS with a 250GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, and an ATI Radeon video card.
Anyways my installation of this program was without a hitch. Everything went through OK...no problem. After a couple of months of usage and learned how to fly Helis I decided to uninstall the Real Flight program off my computer since I hardly use it anymore and plus to clear up some disc space. I did a complete uninstall of the real flight program.
Last weekend I decided to re-install my Real Flight Sim again to learn a couple of heli maneuvers. Disc 1 and 2 of the installation disc went through ok with any problems. Then when I put in Disc 3 the progress bar goes through until it hits 108593k then it gets stuck there. It needs a total of 255455k to install the RFV3_3.DCK file according to the progress task bar.
Usually you can hear the disc spinning inside the CDROM when it's installing/configuring programs to your computer, but when my Disc 3 installation disc goes through and get stuck to that point you could hear the disc stop spinning as well. I then cancel the installation, eject the CD and check for any scratches or finger prints which there were none. I even used a CD cleaning solution to cleanthe CD and even ran my CD ROM cleaning kit thinking that my CD ROM's laser reader is dirty and needs some cleaning. After all that work, Disc 3 of the installation disc still gets stuck with no progression at all. I even left it there for about a good 15 minutes to see that maybe it will re-run itself again, but to no avail it's still stuck.
I un-installed/deleted all Real Flight programs off of the Program Files and re-install it again from scratch. Again the Disc 3 installtion disc gets stuck and never progress. It gets stuck at the same area....108593K.
I also tried copying the files from the original disc to burn it to another disc. I was thinking that maybe the CD is really bad. All the files from Disc 3 gets copied except for the Real Flight\Data on Disc 3 that contains the RFV3_3.DCK file. I couldn't get this file copied and gets an error message stating "Cannot copy RFV3_3.DCK: Data error (cyclic redundancy check.). Could this file be corrupt or something? I'll gladly appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks.
