Paul Brooks scenery was used with this and also models by Harald Kraft,Biba Salsa and Ozzie Dave. (Is Dave & Biba still with us?)The dynamic vehicle was added by Wayne Roberts, thanks mate. I had added more but I lost them with the computer :-( Picture1Leaving Manchester Ringway EGCC.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/0021.jpgPicture2Heading off for Liverpool and a nice view of Manchester Airport.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/0022.jpgPicture3Liverpools runway 27 in-sight.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/0025.jpgPicture4Note new textures under the trees.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/0026.jpgPicture5To the right is were I park to watch the "birds…

Hi,I'm just wondering if somebody experienced the same.Trying to land at some airports is almost impossible for me. On the final (flaps conf.+right speed+gear down+about 100 feet above the runway), suddenly the plain lifts up (up to 2000fpm) with attitude -45 degr. (nose down) and won't let me descent. Unless, I retract flaps to half, shut off the throttle and experience a free fall on the runway. If the ranway is long enough I do manage to land (I'm lucky not having any sick passengers physically behind me).I noticed this behaviour at some airports created with FSImport, but can't name them now, as I always thought it's my lack of pilot skills (have been flying real plai…

Let's start a thread on this. How can we use the pop up FSI window to control traffic? I am still unsure.tony

A general question about podded files:What determines the priority of which pod file fly reads and executes first? In the instructions for Didier Regault's PodCreator program, he mentions a "priority factor" but indicates that this factor is used for sceneries.Specifically: I have previously installed Roberto Vigetti's Default Aircrafts Fix v.2 which contains a pod file (AC_defaultFix.pod) of fixes for certain default aircraft. Since I enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together again, even if they are not broken, I dissected this pod file into its individual files, ex. TRI4.amp. Now obviously, if I place this file in the World folder, I realize the fly progr…

Then see if you can tell what this belongs to? http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/nightpanel.jpg Have a few gauges left to build and the side views :-jumpyc ya :-waveBart [email protected]://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/pics/ryans...ight/flight.gif http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/bart_logo3.jpg

I've been trying to regain my FSAA in Fly!II without success so it look's like I am going to have to re-install the program. This is the last repaint until I get Fly!II re-installed. I have to realign the aft door and fix some join lines then I'll post this later this week. ERJ repaints are still waiting until I get the FSAA going again.Pete

Do most of you FlyII experts use this or prefer to use the default textures?Thanks for your responses.:-wave

Finally they rolled out from the repaint hangar. This two repaints will be uploaded at SIMVOL (my way of saying thank you for this fantastic aircraft) and AVSIM. Rene (ROTW), please e-mail me so I can send the .tif files for podding.Cheerschrisphilippines

Hi Fly!ers,After read some news from Microsoft with so many improvements (weather, aircraft, real GPS, etc.), I'm wondering what will hapen to Fly! when the next FS will be released. Will ROTW team continue to bring the best aircrafts for Fly!ers? Are YOU change to FS franchise and put Fly! II on the shelves?Well, unfortunately I'm not sure. Maybe I will take my project ahead developing my brazilian scenery package, after all I'm Fly! user since day one and have all the tools (or almost all) to make great scenarios, but in the future with so many FS advantages over Fly!, who knows?Will be the end of Fly! II ? :-(Keyton Cabralhttp://www.aerovirtual.com.br

Or Fire out of the engine! Or just an illusion?Jeff Akins

I am a dedicated user of Fly!II for the PC. Anyway, I noticed that the Final patch includes the first ever patch for the MAC version. I am not thinking of switching over, but am just curious.For those in the know, does the MAC patch bring that version to a parallel level of fuctionality with the PC version? That is to say, does it include all the fixes and improvements that went into the PC version since release? What about add-on aircraft like the PMDG airliners work with it now? Judging by the smaller size of the MAC patch I am guessing it does not, but I was just wondering how the two versions compare after the final patch is applied.ThanksAndrew

Sorry guys for bothering with this topic again. I know there's milion of messages like that.I went through all the posts on the forum and guides I could retrieve re the flattening.I tried to create a new airport (did the db entries in AIRPORT and RUNWAYS). All entries have a fixed altitude (1228 MSL) to avoid problems right at the beginning. Having followed instructions to flatten the area, I imported the area and used Flattenator. First, to create all 4 quarter files I had to set the 'corner' range to 2x2 degrees (strange though). Anyway, by first run it didn't flatten the area so I was well above ground on one side of the runway and sunk on the other.I got a message th…

Hello all:This tread was meant for Ken Salter, but since I can't reach Ken by email, is there anyone out there that can help me. Maybe Ken will see this and respond! Last evening I successfully loaded Ken's "Tex_Switcher" program onto my unit. I went through the setup and selected the winter texture and started up Fly! 2. Everything works great.Question: Since this is winter time, flying around with winter texture is fine. However, later on, I will want to go back to using the generic texture. How do you switch back and forth from generic texture to winter texture? Is the switch over automatic? Do I need to switch over? Is the switchover permanent?Great program!!…

Hi ,Today I found a very beautiful P51 repaint on SIMVOL.This repaint is done by David Fourmeau.I think this is the first repaint with accurate striping on the wings and flaps.( David ,if you read this post please contact me [email protected] , I have some questions ? )Regards

Thanks a lot for doing this!!

An aircraft was about to crash and there were 5 passengers on board and only 4 parachutes. The first passenger said: "I am Roy Keane, one of the best footballers in Ireland. I am worth a lot of money and my fans need me so I think I should be saved."The others agreed and gave him one of the parachutes and off he went. The second passenger said: "I am Gerry Adams, a radical Irish politician who can really help my country and I think I should be saved."The others said: "O.K." and gave him a parachute.The third passenger said "I am David Beckham, captain of the English National squad. I have a wife and two sons. Everyone knows I am a really nice guy and everyone thinks I am …

Hi Folks, I have downloaded & installed all the latest Venezuela scenery from Cesar with much apreiciation for his work, but I apear to be missing some models which are required for some of the scenery, noteably a model in model C Line 246 - embr120.bin & from File Smodel Line 3701 - PA28LM.smf. can anyone point me in the direction of where these models reside at AVSIM so I can get them.Thanks in advance Desmond

Hallo,Today I uploaded the Dutch Mustang H-307 to the Library.I hope you`ll like her.RegardsLeen de Jager:-beerchug

where do I set the runway lights visibility e.g. VASI, taxiway lights, runway lights. I understand VASI should be visible 3-5 miles during the day and 20 miles or more at night (can this be tweak in the fly.ini and what's the correct setting). chrisrpll

I just downloaded and installed woodvale, but on starting FlyII and going to woodvale Fly displays the error message C3DModdel: load - Can't open: LIGHTHOUSE.SMFFile:SMODEL.CPP Line:3701After pushing the OK button FlyII exits.Does anybody know what causes this error and how it can be cured?Thanks in advance

...but that doesn't mean that there aren't some great projects in the works.Johnny keeps track of most aircraft (except the helicopters ;-)) and european sceneries being developed, but there are also sceneries being worked on such as Wayne's, Keyton's, etc. Padraic keeps improving FS_IMP, ROTW keeps coming up with fantastic utilities and wonderful aircraft, and as time goes by the community of developers and the number of developer groups continues to grow.For those who have been with Fly! for a while and are contemplating the idea of modeling a new aircraft, I have a piece of advice: take a look at the aircraft files, try to understand how the .PNL and .AMP files work to…
