The FLY General Discussion Forum

Just sent up to the AVSIM server. I've read where current AA practice is not to use the rudder lights. I'm not sure on this so you can either fly with them on or not.Pete

Is there a way to access the sectionals from Windows? (Ie without firing up the sim) Also, is there a way to scroll around in the sectionals WITHIN the sim. When I go to map view, and 'open map' I get a close up view of a sectional all right, but if I try to zoom out, it disappears, and there does not seem to be a way of scrolling around to look at the rest of the chart.Finally, I heard that the rest of the sectionals were made available somewhere on the net. Is it here at Avsim, or elsewhere?I also own Fly2k, and may be able to access them there if possible. Any thoughts?

Hi, just got back from vacation, opened my mail box and had an email from you... The text was "weird", and there was a joint screensaver file called Friend_Happy.scr (34.3 KB) I double checked and my antivirus got all excited!!! So caution, it's some kind of worm that sends itself to your contact list...DO NOT OPEN ANYONEhappy new yearCheers

This is Republica Argentina Tango 01, Argentinas "Airforce One". This is a hefty download at 3.4MBs. Includes lighting effects. Updated versions of all previous 757 repaints will be uploaded over the coming days as I add cabin, fuse and rudder lights. First will be Northwest Airlines, "The Richard Harvey".Pete

This is an "official" THANK YOU to the talented work from Pete (Mac_Paint).The pictures have been taken this year (2002...that is!) with my self at the yoke.The first is taken from a Piper 28-140, showing Christiansborg in Copenhagen (the castle-like building and home of the danish government)The following picture is my hometown Espergaerde, and has been shot from a Cessna 172.The last picture....is the city of Helsingoer.. and the small castle on the litle island, is the castle of Hamlet...Kronborg .. also taken from the Piper.HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.....Jesper.

My first fictional repaint dedicated to Richard Harvey.Enjoychris rpll

I D/L the EBKT_zip file and did everything the read-me file said. I saw fantastic looking ground tiles that match the photos in a couple of posts. Also saw the 3D models and 2D pics of houses, church, etc. However, my attached pics for the sky above the 2D scenery doesn't look anything like the pics in the other posts. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any assistance.Robert

Hi from Vancouver Island!Can anybody point to a location I can download maps for British Columbia and Alberta...for that matter the rest of Canada? Thanks very much and Merry Christmas everyone.ps. Does anybody know if you can convert the program "Sky" which was excellent for Fly and import it into Fly 2?Richard

I am just getting back into Fly!II after a layoff. I am running XP and have the program patched to 240. I was flying the TRIHawk and was about 2.5 hours into a 3 hour flight, just waiting for the ariport to come into sight at night. I loaded the sectional map to check my progress and got this message:Video card error messageCan't select texture NFTW0923.RAW, because you did not allocate any 32x32 8888 textures in render.iniI am running a Ge Force 2 video card.

Hello Mr.PaintJust wondered if you are going to do night versions of all your 757s ?If not, I would gladly see the EASTERN and the BRITANNIA in the NEW version.....!!.....your repaints is true art of a pro.......fabulous work Pete.Happy NEW year......Jesper.

I have setup a Roger Wilco server for anyone to use while using Tri's multiplayer server. If you would like to use it the address is: rw.flydevelopers.comPlease let me know if you have any problems. Also consider this a beta! Comments and suggestions requested. Enjoy.

Try as I might I have been unable to upload some files (Fly Developers Splash Screen) to Fly Developers.com am I doing something wrong?I have signed in but it keeps saying Im a visitor. My cookies are enabled!!!Please help :-)Steve :-bat "The Best Aid To Navigation, Is Having Been There Before" ;-)

When I firsted asked this question, I think in early summertime a few of you clever guys had designs of microlites for fly II.How are they comming along I would love to knowAll the best.Steve :-bat "The Best Aid To Navigation, Is Having Been There Before" ;-)

I am in the early stages of testing a dedicated roger wilco server that will be open to the Fly public. I do have a few questions and would like your ideas. How should the "channels" be configured? I was thinking of using just one common "unicom" for now. I was thinking of allowing other users to create a channel for any online events and such. Please let me know your ideas. The address will be posted soon.

I just completed the survey and reviewed the results and we have a big problem here at Avsim. Based on the results, it seems 3 people cannot figure out what their gender is! ;) Dean Karis

I need some help again. I started using metar information to bring more reality to my flights. I noticed that the environment becomes much more real when loading metars than when simply defining the weather in the wheter menu.However, there is an strange point. I've loaded the following metar for SBGR and SBCT. I don't know why, it loads the correct information, but up side down. SBGR takes the SBCT line and vice versa. Does any one have a tip?------ Metar file2002/12/27 18:00SBCT 271800Z 16007KT 5500 BKN015 26/19 Q10152002/12/27 18:00SBGR 271800Z 08005KT 9999 BKN020 SCT015 OVC030 26/19 Q1015___ JJLobo ___55 11 37268158*:-*

Hellooo....Can anyone tell me how I can alter the default exterior sound for PMDG

Maybe it is old news for some of you.For me it was new and I think it will be a help for others too.Before the final podding all the files must become their ownunique names.An example:When a make a repaint of the Pa19 I have to rename 47 different files in the art folder.Let`s say all the filenames starting with Zpa19**.* should be replaced with Dpa19Doing this by hand ( one by one ) takes a lot of time.The tool I found ,does this for you in a mousclick.Is is called "THE Rename" , it`s freeware and you can find it here:http://www.herve-thouzard.com/therenamea.phtml

I've always suffered not being able to play Fly!2 as it should be played because of my Video Card, an ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder 32MB. I could never quite get those 64MB Video Card high res textures or any of the other niceties that the NVidia cards provided. Well, I've finally jumped ship and gone for a GeForce 4 Ti4200, 128MB memory. Finally, in a few days, I'll be able to dust off my Fly!2 disc and get some sim time in.My only fear is that I will hunger so much for more that I will give up one underdog side (the ATI card) only to adopt another (TRI's attempts to fight the behemoth). I'm so thankful for the inspiration that Rich has given to this hobby, even and becau…

Hello everybody.I'm very pleased to see what Jarno have up his sleeve.Check out the Rotorbrake thread in the developers forum. :)Jan

Just sent the TWA St.Louis Rams livery repaint for PMDG's Boeing 757-200 for Fly! II off to the AVSIM server. Side note - Seem's I've hit the ceiling for installed aircraft. I've got about 170 aircraft/repaints loaded in the Aircraft folder but only see about 150. I've removed aircraft from the beginning of my list and I'll see previously non-listed aircraft after doing so. can anyone else confirm this?Pete

I've created TerraScenery for most of the Rockies, areas around Salt Lake, Grand Canyon. I'm looking for additional suggestions for beautiful VFR scenery. Criteria: Places around the US where using TerraScene will result in wonderfully visually-beautiful ground scenery for flying. Any suggestions other than the above are appreciated.-DK----David KohlFly! II v230Dell 8200 P4/1.8G, 1024MB RAM, Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 v40.72, WinXP Home Edition SP1.CH Pro Pedals and Yoke USB.
