New models for Mac OSX?

[Daryl]

Hi all, I'm trying to find a location where I can download some specific new models for ARPD for Mac. I'm after a Zagi, SAS Wildthing and Great Planes Fling. I have looked through all the published links to designers on the AFPD site, and have found these models or very similar ones but they are all .exe files. I have done all the normal stuff like: renaming the file .zip, opening in unstuffit, using 'file juicer' etc, but these files won't unpack. I have also tried to contact 'Arthur' using the contact form, but this is a dead link. So I thought I'd post on here to see if anyone could recommend a URL with UK popular models (specifically) the ones mentioned above, and other popular UK models with file formats compatible with Mac OSX. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

sometimes you can open the EXE file for a model installation using a program like WinZIP or WinRAR. However if that doesn't work you would have to contact the author and ask if he can send you the raw files.

You can find lots of models at www.ipacs-sim.com or www.rcsim.de.

Arthur reads in the forum on an irregular basis. I am sure he will answer soon.

Thanks for the reply. The unstuff software you mention is also windows specific i.e .exe file format. Here's hoping 'Aurthur' see this thread.

Hi Daryl,

how exactly can I help you?

As Torsten already told you, the only way to get models for the MAC is to contact the author of a model and ask him for a zip file. All my models are available as zip files at my homepage.

Hi Arthur, thanks for posting. I think I may have muddled some names here as looking again at the various model home pages, and the names of the designers, the specific models I'm having trouble unpacking are indeed not yours! Yours are all nicely Mac friendly ones! Looking again I need to contact Dietmar Khun! So apologies. Calling Dietmar.... Have you a zipped file of your; zagi-xxs, weasel-pro and hai? It would be great if you did!
