The FLY General Discussion Forum

In creating airport scenery I have included dynamic vehicles and aircraft. The question is, do you want them? Moving vehicles and aircraft on the ground is not a problem as there is very little interference with the plane you are going to fly. Aircraft departing or landing at the airport can be a problem and this is where your input is required. When approaching the airport you could run into a dynamic vehicle or they may be on the runway when you are landing.It takes time to include dynamic vehicles and the file size is increased, but if you want them I will include them.Now is the time for all FLYers to offer guidance.

Hi folks,I finished the outside of the Dutch Mustang.Frederic Mouflin (a very skilled french repainter) advised me withthe creation of the nose-art( heath-coloring-effect ).Merci Fred!Probably on Simvol next week.Regards:-beerchug

Hi Fly!ers!I've been using Fly since it came out and still run the Fly! (one) version, patched till the SDK version.I recall from a few years ago that I was exploring the South Pacific islands, and one day flying from New Caledonia to Vila, Vanuatu or maybe to The Fiji Islands I passed an island which looked like a gigantic needle, rising up till around 10,000 ft or something like that. I also recall I slewed toward it to examine it closer. Later on I carried on with my flight and unfortunately, I forgot to take down a position for this island. The island seemed to sit there completely on its own, no closeby other islands have been sighted.Actually, it may even have been …

Hi folks,I beleve we had only one of these birds in Holland.Nevertheless nice to have on our collection.Is`nt it?

Has anyone been able to view Tom's update to the Richard Harvey anchored post? I can't seem to get this thread to open.

Where is bglzip.exe ? I found the scenery.cfg file, but cannot find Blgzip.exe. Even though i do have FS2002.... Is there a download that I am missing? Thanks Jeff Akins

Hi flyers,A small post to say that I've uploaded my AirFeedback DLL (version 1.00)You will need of course a force feedback joystick (USB) like MS Force Feedback Sidewider II to use it (DirectX compatible)Give it a try and tell me...

Hello.In case you forgot about Jarno and his S76,here is a couple of shots.This is still my unfinished paintjob.The model is undergoing some changes,like getting interior and other things.But I think it's a beautiful aircraft already.He's doing a GREAT job :)Jan

This zip file contains all scenery for NOrway. Is it possible to convert all the aiports with FSI in one shot, or do we need to do one airport at a time? thanks.tony

Its here you guys go get it....http://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DLID=26372See Ya :-wave All The BestSteve[/div] [align=center]http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/aragon.jpg][/div

Hi,I tried to fly to LEPA Palma de Mallorca but found out that LEPA is missing in my database of Fly II AIRPORTS and RUNWAYS.Who can help with DEX-files and runways ?Thanks in advance.Cord Lehmann

There seem to be a few sources around the web for free high resolution (often available in 1m/pix, 2, 5, 10, etc) digital orthophotos. Some are monochrome, and IMHO those are of dubious use - the artificial coloring techniques look unappealing to my eyes. But some are also in color/IR format - seems like maybe 4 channels (R, G, B, IR) collapsed to three (RGB).Of course everything comes out looking all red due to the IR channel, so they aren't usable directly. But has anyone ever experimented with doing some color corrections on them to bring them back as close as possible to natural color?To a first order approximation, I figure that everything that's red should end up…

Hi,I've managed to change my startup airport/runway through the dubious practice of loading the entire airports.pod and runways.pod files into emacs, searching the (binary) data for the airport I wanted, and finding the "USblahblah" string that goes with them to add to fly.ini.But there must be some better way to accomplish this :-). Feel free to point me to a FAQ or something like that, but I just didn't see it listed in the pinned FAQ in this forum, and searching didn't turn up much either.Actually what I really want is to start in some defined location on the tarmac. Can I do that?Thanks...

Hi ForumThis is a test fly with our next vintage aircraft starting from Phoenix AZ.Jeanhttp://www.pixup.com/pub/fly/pic1.jpghttp://www.pixup.com/pub/fly/pic2.jpg

I just posted some screenshots on the screenshot forum. It made all the difference when I imported a dem and set it for 8x8 and 50 ft.Amazing place.http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID47Don

I just upgraded my system from a (meager?) 392 Mb, to a studly 1 Gb.Huge difference in how Fly2 performs. No more stuttering around turns, view switching is instantaneous even when running 5/18 high/med view distances, and everything just seems to hum along a lot better.Quite recommended. RAM is dirt cheap these days anyway.

Anyone know what's up with this?If I go into the "other" weather settings and crank down the visibility (to anything, like say 4 miles), I get lots of these artifacts when flying around.I'd like to figure it out, coz i like flying in soupy weather, but the weird graphics kinda screw things up :)thanks!

Hi all,I'm kind of new to the avsim community, and more to the point, the FLY 2 community. I recently obtained my copy of the software, have installed all necessary updates, and have hit a snag. I fly for a living, and have some time in the older HS125's, so I'm very familiar with the cockpit layout. (And they did a great job with it) But for the life of me, I can't seem to get the A/P to slave to the FMS. (Or the GPS in the other a/c) I set the selector switch to WPT and fire up the FMC, but when I engage the a/p NAV function the aircraft turns to 360 and that's it. Heading bug and regular NAV1/2 functions work fine. I do all the required flight-planning setup, and I eve…

Has anyone heard from [email protected]

Don't know what I did but all of a sudden I get this message everytime I attempt to start FLY IIVideo card error messageDirectX errorCode: 8876086ADescription: This device does not support the queried technique.While trying to do this: Can't find a Z buffer formatWorked fine yesterday and even a system restore didn't fix it.

On a calm day, ATC-Sync gives me zero thousand knots wind speed.

This is what happens:1.) VFR from LOAN to LOAV (8NM), no Flightplan2.) ATC for LOAN works fine, last transmission "leaving frequency"3.)

Im close to uploading Nav/Wpt database updates for the time from my previous upload until the end of the current cycle (Feb 19, 2003). I've included the FAA data this time, so the few (very few) missing wpt's on approach charts I've found, are now included.Im wondering how most people would prefer the data be released.Divided by country? (Realise though that this means to import it all yould have to import 300+ separate files (twice, once for wpts, once for navs), but for those of us who only fly in a single country (for example the US, it wouldnt clog the database full of unneccesary data.Divided by area?
