Hi all:Has anyone been able to get the stopwatch function of any digital clocks to work. The nearest elapsed timer that would seem to work is on the Bell 407, but it causes Fly II to crash!Cheers,Brian.

Hi John, The procedure is like the one of always the only difference is the image that I obtain from google earth Filename: photoscenery_turorial.zipLicense: Freeware, limited distributionAdded: 15th August 2004Downloads: 358Author: A.

G'day Brian,>Let me back off on my last post! I have just read your post to >another thread.... I did not realize I was using the wrong fps info. >Now I have set "allowdebuginfo=1" and get the true frame rate.

However last night I had reason to go into nVidia Centre to change some settings and to my horror found that aft…

Hi Everyone,A couple of days ago my local International Airport Changed its runway headings from 24R and 24L to 23R and 23L.I've always thought the assignment Number related to compass heading!! Anybody know the technical reason for doing such a thing??RegardsJohn

Hi All,Does anyone still experience the 4 fps bug in FLY2 when flying in airports with detailed models like ROTW's beautiful airports. Is there a fix for this bug. I have a AMD 64 dual core, ATI x800xl, 2 gig of memory, which I think a decent system.Thankschris_CA

Hi Gents, I used to own the pmdg aircraft a while back and ive decided to use fly2 again. Is there anyway to re-purchase the pmdg products. Ive tried and had no luck. Also is there any good sites still around with good aircraft/jets.

G'day all,This is a bit long but there might be a lesson in here for anyone else upgrading.Well the day finally arrived and after building my new computer system and loading XP-Pro onto it I picked up my copy of the American version of Fly!II and casually slipped it into the DVD rom drive.I just knew it wasn't going to be straight forward. :-) Well Fly! II seemingly installed no hassles but on running the 152-210 all in one patch I was greeted with the familiar "old file found with same name ..." error message. Ha!! mute the midi and uninstall and try again; dang! it: same result :-) This time uninstalled Fly! II and copied the Fly!II installation CD to my WD Raptor ha…

Hi guys,how is fly!ing?Well, I am the guy with Fly!2 on Mac for almost 2 years now but I gave up on it some months ago. A lot of new enhancements won

Hi Guys,Im looking for your help and advice in choosing a PC, which will be mostly used for Flight Simming (FlyII) and Developing. I currently use my Apple Mac for Flying and development, but now I have saved up enough dough!, Ive decided on a PC. Ive got one in mind which comes with VISTA home edition, has Duo Intel E6700 processors and a nvidia 756mb Graphic Card.Will this be able to cope with FlyII and is there anything else I should be looking for.Earl has probably answered my next question on whether FlyII will run on Microsoft Vista or Not?.....but any info or advice will be much appreciated.Thanks for all your helpCheers John

Been to busy to do much with Fly but just dropped in to see how everyone is doing.c ya :-jumpy (Just for you Wallace :))Bart

Hi guys,Now that I have your attention. I can't believe it either! But it is true!My old rig came down with a bug which turned out to be a video driver issue. But at the time, I needed a computer to work emails etc for business. My old rig wasn't coming around and I had little time to devote to repair, so I bought an Acer AST690-UP925A. It has a 935 D core duo 3.2G processor, 1G RAM, Intel 946 3000GMA on board graphics, on board sound from Realtech and Vista Home Premium. Well, once I got through the important business, I decided to try FS-x. UNBELIEVABLE! It works! OK, not as well as one of the monster machines, but I didn't expect it to fly at all, with any set…

Hi, I haven

Hi folks,My new installation of FLYII sings on my new system, even though it has no video card. I do, however, need anti aliasing and maybe some filtering. Is there a setting in FLY.ini or elsewhere which will supply this? Without the video card, I have no anti aliasing.Thanks!Earl

Does anyone know if there is any way the new widescreen LCD monitors can be used to their full width with Fly! II? i.e. screens 1680 x 1050 pixels or wider?Cheers, Brian

Hi everyone,I had (and I still have !!!) a 17" CRT monitor and I bought a month ago a LG 19" LCD monitor, bigger, best than my CRT but I have some troubles with Fly! II since most of its panels work with a resolution of 1024x768. The problem is that I set my resolution up to 1280x1024. Fly! II is beautiful with that resolution but the panels are cut at the bottom. If I set a resolution of 1024x768, the panels are good but the fonts (menu toolbar, windows, ...) are bold and there are aliasing.People who have Fly! II, what monitor do you have and with which resolution do you run Fly! II ? Please tell me more about it. Tips are welcome.:-)Have a nice day.;-)Damien - LFQQ.htt…

The window that shows airports/navaids - the Vector Map - is "stuck" on one side of my monitor and I am unable to drag it to a new location or change it's size. Also if I change the zoom, the the position of the aircraft is not shown accurately on the map.Any suggestions? Prefer that you eMail me at [email protected] Thanks!

Hope all you Fly Fans have a happy Easter.:-wave

I donated mt FLY!2 to a non-profit used goods store. They sell anything from computer games to furniture and clothes. good cause.The saleslady asked me if it's in good working order- I said it's fine. She asked what o/s it works on. Oops, my mind went blank on that one. Originally I had bought and usd FLY2 when I had Windows 2000.Is it compatible with XP?Eytan Ornstein

G'day all,I'm off today for 2 weeks holidaying in Thailand and Malaysia. Will be my first flight on a B777 (MAS). A tad bit nervous after the Garuda B737 disaster last week. Not going to let it spoil the holiday by dwelling on it. See you all in 2 weeks,Take care.Cheers,Roger

G'day Mate,Please find attached a Picture shot of the B737-800 Radio Panel I'm currently working on. Theres still a few more Knobs and Buttons to Draw and program, but I think you'll get an Idea of what I've been upto.Regards John

Hi Everyone.I was just wondering if anyone can give an explanation as to what causes that Metallic/Shiny image on the FLY aircraft?Ive attached a picture of a couple of Delta Repaints on Giogios B737 and MD82 Aircraft, and as you can see on the B737 (as of ALL FLY aircrft) I have this Metallic/Shiny finish..............but for some unknown reason the MD82 repaint is a nice matt finish and the overall repaint is much more realisic. (Hope you can see the difference in the attachment)Ive compared the Model files and Lod files of both aircraft and I can't see any difference in them. Just curious as to what part of the FLY program effects this.Or perhaps its something Giorgi…
