The FLY General Discussion Forum

I just finished testing Didier's VolNav and, it's revolutionary. Everything I tested worked flaulessly. Don't be intimidated by the french; the program is simple and intuitive. Didier does plan to provide English instructions, but don't forget he's a one man show and the program is free.As part of your flight planning, you will be able to orient the plane according to the runway that you choose. When FLY2 start, the plane will be ready for takeoff.Install flystart.dll and get familiar with it. With VolNav and flystart, all of your flight plan will start at exactly the gate and the point near the gate that you've chosen. From the pic, you can see that there are many option…

When I fly IFR and switch autopilot to apr at 1500 feet alttude, the auto pilot does not line the plane up with the runway. Also when I overfly the runway switching to rev the plane does not turn around and line up with the runway. What is wrong?

Hello All,I already sought help for this issue on the Mac forum, but no luck. I've been told that a Mac flier from the ROTW group participates here, so I thought I'd see if he (or anyone else) might be able to help me through this.I'm trying to load up the TBM700 Socata for Mac, but whenever I select the aircraft I receive the error message "Subsytem is not registered (tbmf)" and Fly2 quits. I've checked that I have the correct (Mac) version, have unstuffed all parts correctly, and placed the Dll's where they're supposed to go (at least according to other Mac users who have succesfully gotten this plane running). I even downloaded the file again to make sure my original …

Hi folks,I am patched up to the latest 240-250 and everything works great for me. I have just one small problem with the Socata. I thought surely I'm not the only one so I haven't posted before now but unless I missed it somehow, no one else has posted this problem....The back up HSI guage is inop. It is frozen over to one side... not always the same side. This is a small inconvenience I can certainly live with but was just curious if it can be fixed.Anyone have any suggestions?Thanks,Earl....

I moved and lost my Fly! II cd. I found a Fly! II cd in a multi-pack cd at the local computer store (Fry's) and bought that. Unfortunately the version is 2.0.197. Is there any way to patch this version?Thanks,George

THE PROOF

Well, Didier has been working hard to provide some great new features. For example, the ability to have FLY2 on "persistent World", thereby providing the ability to fly, land and use VOLnav to file another flight plan without having to reaload FL2. Also, a quick button will give you the airport where you landed .tony

VolNav is very, very close to completion. One great feature that has not been mentioned will be its ability to place the aircraft near terminals and hangars with the help of the great flystart.dll, which some of you may be already using. Imagine when you file a flight plan and have all the choices imaginable! Volnav is practically complete. Let's all reply to Didier(rotw) with warm and encouraging words. He's very close.What is happening for FLY2 behind the scenes is very exciting. It's almost the best kept secret for us FLY2 aficionados.tony

Since re-installing Fly! again. I'm trying to set up ability to contact ATC for local airport. I had it working about a year ago. At least I think I did. I have the dex files in the Fly!data directory. I used deximport. Its been awhile since I have tried to do all this. It seems to me that there is a step that Im leaving out. The airport shows up in the directory list and I can teleport to it just fine. I have that part right. It will not show up in the ATC listing as a available airport. Randall if your still around. Gimme a yell. I think you were the one who finally figured out what it was I needed to do the last time around. Oh yeah I did add this airport. It was non e…

Hi All:Has anyone tried to get to the PMDG site lately? Are they down for some reason? I have been trying to go there for the last 3 days but without any luck. I can't seem to connect. That site is the only one I am having trouble with. I'm trying to check the site for upgrades.The address I'm trying to connect to is htttp://www.presicisionmanuals.comIsn't the above the correct address?Thank you.Curtis

After much delay, my new/old web site is back online. Much thanks to AVSim for allowing me to host my site with them.You can access at http://saltydogfly2.avsim.net.Enjoy![h3]Ken Salter (aka SaltyDog)[/h3]Fly! Forum ModeratorNEW WEBSITE!!

Is it possable to use fly 2 planes in 2k?? All I have found out sofar is that most dont work, but that the ones that do are based on the planes that come with fly 2k.I only have fly 2k, but would it be ossable to convert the fly 2 planes to 2k format so t will work?Thanks in advance:)Chris

Help!I was just wondering if anybody has seen these black squares before and if so how to fix them. At first I thought I could fix them with ground transform, but as I get close to the actual tile, the black disappears. The actual location is in the Gulf of Mexico just south of Gulfport/Biloxi, MS. I do have the terrascenes installed for Mobile and Baldwin County, both by Ken Salter. Also I had to place both of these pod files (incl. the associated *.scf files)in my scenery shared folder or I get a CTD when teleporting into the area.Thanks,Robert

Hello All,I find myself looking with envy at many of the screenshots posted on the forum- the clouds look incredibly realistic! Layering, diversity, etc....I've downloaded some of the cloud packages from Avsim, but I don't really know how to use them. My clouds still seem to look bland and artificial (though my sky is much improved by SkyFire!).Could anyone who's good with creating realistic cloud layers offer some tips to a newbie? Thanks!Best,Joel

Just love this plane :) and the scenery!!http://home.online.no/~johsvenn/artimages/div/172a.jpghttp://home.online.no/~johsvenn/artimages/div/172b.jpg http://home.online.no/~johsvenn/artimages/div/172c.jpg http://home.online.no/~johsvenn/artimages/div/172d.jpg

I've uploaded my Swiss repaint of the Flyhawk and it should be available tomorrow. On the inside, I've changed the colors of the panel to match the 2003 Skyhawk SP (tan on top, black on bottom). This one has been a bear to get right, but the results are worth it.

Because the original model reuses textures for each side of t…

Hi,Just to show the progress.Outside is ready now.Now I am going to work inside.

I asked this in the Developer's Forum, but haven't seen much in the way of responses. I realize that the Fly! community reads this forum very frequently, so I thought I'd post the link to my question here too....http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID19/534.htmlLong and short - anyone up to fixing the weather radar? And how about Icing? The first request doesn't seem like a very difficult task. The second one might be tougher.-DK----David KohlFly!

I have suddenly lost the view of the the terrain out the cockpit windows. All I see is blue sky and a half moon. If I use the camera views I can see the runways and terrain normally, but out of the cockpit it is all blue sky. I am not sure how I lost it, though I had just updated the nav data using AUST_DEX110 which I had downloaded from AVSIM and installed. I had flown a flight or two with no difficulty with the terrain. I am wondering if I have inadvertently hit some combination of keystrokes which disabled it?Before I reinstall everything, I thought I would ask for help. Any suggestions?
