The FLY General Discussion Forum

Hi - I'm looking for some help on a problem I am having.The history in brief: Last I used fly was back during .210, and I had it running like a well oiled machine. Then, due to a disk crash and getting busy in real life, I left for a while, and now I'm trying to get it up and running again, and reinstalling all the old goodies I used to have.In 210, I had made a lot of custom terrascened terrain. It worked in Fly2, but when I reinstalled it on 240, I get a lot of Fly crashes with the following error:"Msg: Can't load texture DATAd178158fulltex4.raw: File not foundFile: texture.cpp line 1376Time: Sun Jan 19 02:38:00 2003errno = 2 (No such file or directory)"However, if I …

Hi, after moving up from Fly2k, I am busily exploring Fly2 and like most of what I see.. However, the Shift-M vector map does not want to zoom in to the level of detail so I can see the airport layout, as I could with Fly2k.. is there another way of finding the taxiways etc?Also, admittedly a minor issue.. is there a fix for the floating bridges around San Fransisco?I particularly like the Stearman and also like the much improved outside views of the Navajo (I never cared for the oversized rivets on the wings in the original Fly!)OK, back to flying some more..

Recieved the following in email from Tara this afternoon...."Please forgive this short email... I only have a small amount of time at home in which to write it. I just wanted to inform all of you that Richard is in the hospital in very serious condition. A billiary obstruction was found earlier this week that took several days and several aborted procedures to fix. Unfortunately, Richard also has an infection that they are trying to track down. His immune system is very repressed at this time, so this will be quite a task. Also, it has been discovered that the cancer has spread to several of his major organs. So we are trying to prepare Richard to return home, so that he …

Does the Flight Management Computer (FMC) in the Hawker work? Is it a fully functional FMC or is it just for show?If it is a fully functional FMC, 1.) Where is the manual on how to use the FMC?2.) Are ther tutorials on how to use the FMC?3.) I would appreciate any documentation, saved flights scenarios, etc that demonstrate how to properly use the FMC?Thanks in Advance!The BeagleAMD XP 2100+ ProcessorWindows XP 512mb RAMASUS TI-4600 (Nivida) Video Card with 128mb RAM

Hey Guys, Since I mostly fly in Europe, I was a bit dissapointed with the mountains and some of the lakes that climbed up on the mountain...B

I have tried for hours to make the converter for MSFS2002 files to Fly II work with results. I have followed the directions in the Readme file and always get the same error No suitable BGL found for area ADD ONs. Does anyone have any ideas. I am tring to convert the Detroit Metro ADD ON to Fly II.Also where can I find AFCAD file.

Hi folks.Today I uploaded the Belgian-bird to the lib.I need some help with my next Supercub.It would be nice to have a Swedish livery too.Please look for nice pictures of Swedish (mil) Pipers and send themto me.They have been flying for the Swedish army , I am sure about that, butis is very difficult to find suitable photo`s.Assistance from my FLY-friends is very welcome.Regards

Yes, we know, the week-end is nearly overSorry guys but you will have to wait a bit longer. During the beta-tests, a few minor problems appeared and we don't wish to release the P-51 like that. In the meantime, we also contacted a second P51 pilot which will allow us to fine-tune some aspects of the plane. The military pilots who helped us for the TBM are also part of the beta-team so expect to be blown away when the plane will be released.Stay tuned, more news soon !http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3e2b3f356bed1a12.jpgRen

I am converting scenery of FS98 and FS2k with FSI with good results but I have any questions:How I know what is the Tile of a city or a zone of a city, for example Madrid??? I can now the Tile of an airport, but not the other zone. I want to merged several scenery of a same city but I want to replace only any Tiles of one scenary and reemplace with te same Tile of other scenery.Other question, It's better remain the default taxiways of Fly2 or convert the taxiways of the scenery or FS??Greetings and thanks in advance from Madrid (Spain).

Hi,Just to let people know, (for those interested in making their own panels for Fly!II) I've just posted a few screen shots in the developers forum of a panel maker for Fly!II that I'm working on. :-)Cheers,Matthew.

This repaint project is a replication of a C172 that a fellow Fly!2 community member currently flies out of a club in Norway. This might be useful after Johnny posted a recent successful conversion of many Norwegian airports from FS2K2. Anyway, it adds to our European Skyhawk collection.http://home.earthlink.net/~finsdad/FlyII/p...B_Preview_A.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~finsdad/FlyII/p...B_Preview_B.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~finsdad/FlyII/p...B_Preview_D.jpg

Hello again.Autothrottle panel works but autobrake doesn't. Autobrake will not turn on or accept any settings. what am I doing wrong. This applies to TRI default aircraft for now. I don't know whether or not the panels work on other aircraft.Thanks for your advice and help!!Curtis

No disrespect to Tony and his attempt to assist, but, I'm still seeking the render.ini settings that will optimize Fly II for my system. Any assistance would be appreciated.933 mhz (Pent. III)512 MB RAMGeForce Ti 4200 128 MBNvidia driver 40.72Thanks,Jim

HI Guys, I have a new problem I discovered, I wanted to start flying around in France, I have most of ROTW's scenery, and I modified the taxiways like explained (removed the entrys in the USA pod). Now in Cannes, Toussigny cleared 4 takeoff gives me the message "no suitable runway", what can I do, I can't fly without this awesome programme!!! I may give another try at Didier's ATC, but I found the voices hard to understand, and to robotic.cheers

I am running nVidia 29.58 drivers .Are there any advantages in installing 41.09 and if so ,is it necessary to uninstall the old drivers?System.AMD XP 1800512Mb DDR RamWinfast 128Mb GeForce4 Ti4600Rodger.

Hello.Here is the newly started project together with Jarno.A few shots from the pilotseat and a test of livery paintskill.Nothing is finished and is subject to change.The livery is from Norsk Helicopterat ENZV.The great people over there let me use my camera on their 76's.Don't have any panel shots from within FlyII yet.Jarno made thebeautiful model of the Sikorsky S 76 :)JanLink: http://www.norskhelikopter.no/index.asp?iLanguageId=1

Hi all, just a few problems with some scenery and was hoping someone had a fix.1. Terramodel-Toronto Buttonville (ykz.zip, ykz_2.zip & ykzmodels.zip) I get a CTD error "Can't load DYKZ0609.raw" which appears to be a texture file associated with the DYKZ0609.smf model included in ykzmodels. A check of archived forum topics shows others having this same problem, but no resolution as far as I could find.2. Terramodel-LPC Airport (tmlpc.zip & tmlpc_2.zip) On a flight from SFO to LAX, at around Avenal, I get a CTD error "Can't load PA28LM.smf". Again a check of archived posts indicates others with the same problem, no resolution.I'm curious, if there are no resolutions…

Just sent this off to the AVSIM server.Pete

Hello...I am converting scenery of Spain of FS98 and FS2k with FSI with good results but I have any questions:How I know what is the Tile of a city or a zone of a city, for example Madrid??? I can now the Tile of an airport, but not the other zone. I want to merged several scenery of a same city but I want to replace only any Tiles of one scenary and reemplace with te same Tile of other scenery.Other question, It's better remain the default taxiways of Fly2 or convert the taxiways of the scenery or FS??Greetings and thanks in advance from Madrid (Spain).

I am already playing around with it.First thing I noticed is that it is a frame killer, and even on my new machine, with a Piv @ 1,7GHz, Geeforce 4 Ti4200 128MB, and 640MB RAM on Window XP Home, sitting at the default KSFO 28R the frames (in 1024 x 768) can get down to the 8 - 9 fps area!!! It increases if I reduce to 800 x 600!Anyway, It's far more fluid than anything I can get with M$F$2k2, and as usual Fly2! doesn't suffer from the same type of stuttering that affects MSFS...I am enjoying everything about this 757. THANKS A LOT for encouraging me to buy it - It was my best buy after IL-2 in the last year!!!Now, I haven't yet even open the manuals, but relying on my PS1…

II was not ready for release , And they sent it out the door, But It`s still been updated recently, Why havent ROTW given us some POST on how it`s coming along?, And when the next release date will be , Jeff Akins

ALT+A does NOT auto-tune the radio to the frequencey. Can manually tune Com 2 to frequency and works O.K. If you manually tune Com 1 to frequence it does not work. Did a complete re-installation latest C4TO and Flyscripts! Still the same. Using Fly 2K and has worked in the past. Also, re-installed Fly 2K. Assume I've changed something in my system, any ideas please?Robert J

I got both a new video card (GeForce3 Ti-200 64MB) and Fly! II over the holidays. Up until then I used Fly! 2k regularly.Im a bit overwhelmed trying to get accostomed to Fly! II...Any help or suggestions you can offer would be appreciated.Questions or problems:1) Is there any way to improve the performance of the flight planner? It took me about an hour last night to set up a plan! The mouse is completely non-responsive. 2) What happened to the 'next wpt/prev wpt' buttons in the planner? (which Fly! 2k had) I used those quite a bit, but they seem to be gone?3) I can locate waypoints in the 'directory', but cant for the life of me find them in the flight planner m…
