6. FlySim Troubleshooting

Q: I downloaded and installed FlySim but can't get it to run?

A: Try changing the color depth or screen resolution. Some video cards may not support all settings. If that doesn't work, try installing the latest drivers for your video card. For more information on how to find and install the latest drivers for your computer, visit our drivers help page. Please e-mail us at info@flysim.com if you continue to have problems. and include information about your CPU type, graphics card, operating system, and any messages that appear.

Q: How can I get my serial number?

A: If you lost or can't find your serial number, visit http://store.esellerate.net/support to have it emailed to you

Q: Why does FlySim run so slowly on my computer?

A: If your computer meets the minimum requirements listed above but FlySim still runs too slowly, It is likely that you need to upgrade your graphics drivers with the latest version from the manufacturer. Visit our drivers help page for more information on identifying your graphics card and finding the latest drivers.

Q: I purchased FlySim but the destinations are still locked. How do I unlock them?

A: Destinations remain locked in the full verions of FlySim until you finish the goals of the previous level. The demo verion says "DEMO" in the upper left corner and has a "Buy Now" window that appears when you exit the game. If you don't see either you have the full version of the game.

Q: I caught the destination goals, why isn't the next level unlocked.?

A: To meet the goals all the fish need to be caught in the same session.

Q: Why doesn't the water move when I play FlySim?

A: Your graphics card does not support some required OpenGL features. Upgrading your video card drivers or the card itself may solve the problem. This problem has been reported on some older Voodoo and S3 graphics cards.

Q: I don't have internet access on the computer I want to install FlySim on. What should I do?
