Hi, all. I just got the program yesterday and have only had success with the 2d airfoil part.
I can make a 2-d foil (though not from a DAT file, all the sites I go to open the file in a web page instead of downloading it) and run a batch analysis, then define a wing. It says the foils are in the wing but it still renders flat. After I define the 3-d analysis like it says in the rcsoaring digest article, it works for a while, says analysis complete, then nothing. All the "results" checkboxes are grayed out, and the wing rendering is unchanged. I can't make any polars appear or anything like that.
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't get it figured out and all the helpful tutorials are in french. Anybody know what's going on?
