The FLY General Discussion Forum

I vividly recall some heated debate on this forum, long months, years (?) ago about the possibility of having full-featured Garmin GNC430/530 flight management units implemented in FLY aircraft. This was also a time when Terrascene was being born and when many folks when brainstorming ways to advance the hobby. Well, with the Garmin the idea was brilliantly simple - get the existing PC-based Garmin trainer (freely downloadable) from Garmin Ltd. and build a wrapper around it so it could work within FLY. There were some obvious technical issues but also any such venture would naturally involve agreements with both Garmin and Jeppesen and those seemed to be the largest obsta…

I am a real world controller working in Okinawa, Japan. I am going to CA in FEB to visit and would like to take a tour of SOCAL APP while I am out there. If anyone has a good number to contact SOCAL, I would appreciate it.Thanks,Glenn

I just wanted to publicly pass on my appreciation for the airport add-ons done by Wayne Roberts in particular and other authors that have contributed as well. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your contributions and so much more my hobby.Mark

I've just sent version 2 of the TWA 757-200 repaint of the PMDG 757-200 for Fly! II to the AVSIM server. This update includes cabin, rudder and landing lights. Remove any previous TWA 757-200 repaint before installing this update. TWA Rams is next.Pete

Hi Everybody,I have been using FLY2 for a few weeks now and been reading the Forum for some time and it has helped me with installing patches and setting up Fly2 to get the best out of it.I have been able to install FSbuild and Metar and got it running.But I have had no luck in installing any scenery, whenever I install any, Fly2 drops out back to WinXp with error CD3DMODEL, SMODEL.CPP LINE:3701 or something,I have downloaded and installed Biber's Fly2 AllModels Pack and Terramodel texture pack ver 2.1What else do I need to do?My ComputerAMD Thunderbird 1.3512 meg DDRGeforce3 Ti200 128 DDR ramWinXPRegards Mick:-newbie

Hi All, and particularly Richard!!!I hope you all had the best possible Christmas, and would like to take this oportunity to wish you all the best for 2003!!!Ah! Richard, I seriously look forward for Fly!3, and I am counting on you to be "the man behind the scene!!!" again!!!Now, since I no longer have the original Fly!2 disks with me, I am seriously considering buying it again, and am very interested in finding out any news / oppinions regarding the latest patch. Can anyone post his/her comments here PULEEEEEZE?Best for you All!!!The VERY VERY VERY ... Best for you Richard!!!

Hello everyone,I had Fly2 patched to 240, no problems whatsoever.I then decided to buy the Decathlon/Citabria from RealAir.Both birds are mighty fine, and fly great.However, upon returning to my Chieftain, the altitude indicator, and EGT needles have changed.The altitude indicator is missing a background on its face, and the EGT needles have moved closer together so that they now overlap.I recall from the Decathlon/Citabria readme that these aircraft borrow some gauges from the Flyhawk.Any thoughts?

Just sent off to the AVSIM server. Just over 3MBs for this download. Remove the previous Northwest 757200 or there may be problems. TWA's next.Pete

Did I understand a previous thread earlier that you have to uninstall fly2 after upgrading to xp and then reinstall? Comments please

Hi everyone,once upon a time (well, maybe a year ago) there was one very nice person out there, who had been so kind to send me an additional DME gauge for the Cessna. I thought it was etremely useful for practicing IFR... To make the story short, I upgraded my computer and lost those files.Unfortunately I can't remember who it was, so I'm asking if someone else has still got them. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,Rodger :)

Hi everybody,FS Import is such a great tool that I import every day a new airport and make the german flightspace as real as it gets. But sometimes fs imported objects were placed on my taxis, runways or under some trees. Marc Stoering wrote in a german flightsim magazin, that you can delete or move these objects. But I can't see the objects in the fly! editor, so how should i move them?Thank you for your help and a happy new year,Frank

Any Help appreciatedStreamio.cpp Can not process next tag line.Deleted all HST files What next Jeff Akins:-hmmm

I have the european version of Fly II and PMDG

Any help would be appreciated. I've been away from FLY for awhile, and have two questions. First, my water textures are very pale and almost white -- anything to be done about this?? Second, other than the patches, what MAJOR add-ons would you suggest?? Finally, a sincere thank you and very best wishes to Richard Harvey -- you are quite a remarkable human being, and as a physician I can tell you that I have profound respect for the way you have presented yourself and your illness on this forum. I wish you the grace you deserve. Greg.

Evening guys, I found a screenshot of a Piper Warrior at airliners, it is stationed in Geneva and had to do it... Now I'm cleaning up, but since I edited the tif, the windows aern't transparent anymore, I had that problem once with the Avanti, but never bothered to fix it, I saw that too late. Here is a little shot.Hope you'll like itcheers

Hi...........I was wonderong if it is possible to convert any of the Fly aircraft for use in Fly 2? The aircraft I had in mind are Canadian CC-130.EPD, Dash8.EPD and Emb120.EPD. Any assistance would be appreciated.Richardps. If you are aware of any other turbo prop aircraft please let me know.

Could anyone advise where I can obtain a new copy of FLY!! (The latest version). - preferably on line.CheersMichael

I just want to mention that I've uploaded the EBKT VFR scenery to the avsim library. Filename: EBKT_V2.Enjoy Your flights,:-waveFrank

I have had these problems (see screenshots) for some time now... I hoped the new patch fixed them, but it didn't. I did a search on this forum for some solutions, but I couldn't find any.Basically there are two different problems. The first is a "sorting" problem: if you look with the Tower camera, the aircraft parts are sorted wrong (I can see the interiors, or the engines on the other side of the fuselage, and such); the other is a problem with fog/visibility: the mountains in the distance have some parts correctlty "fogged", and some parts less fogged... it's an ugly effect.I have already set vertexIndexFormat=0.I have an AthlonXP 1600+, with a GeForce4 MX440, on Win98…

Pick up VolNav beta 2 from SimVol. Didier has included Infometar and Autoweather options. It's making FLY2 flight planning easier than ever!tony

Hey Guys,My uncle picked me up a copy of Fly! II and I was really looking foward to playing it. I thought that my system was going to easily handle it, but apparently not,Im getting blurred graphics, horrible frame rate (less than 10) ...am I missing something? Or is it that im used to constant 40+ frames in MSFS (sorry, I know, I know...) Im seeing all these great images of this game, but im very disappointed with how mine looks.. :(My specs are:AMD Athlon XP 2100+1.74 GHz512mb DDR RAMGeforce 4 Ti4200Windows XPAny Help Is Greatly Appreciated!and Happy Holidays!
