The FLY General Discussion Forum

Hello,With the latest Fly!2 final patch it's possible to put very high resolution textures as "Non-Z buffered" objects on the ground.To show this interesting feature, I started making scenery of belgian airport EBKT.This is a first version of EBKT, with very limited 3D models.It covers an area of 4 x 4 Nm with EBKT at it's centre.It uses real aereal photograph (Property of the company Eurosense)The resolution of this scenery is only limited by the memory on the video card. (At least 64MB is needed for video memory).I expect to upload it before end of this year.And of course it's freeware.Hope You enjoy this upcoming scenery of EBKT.Frank D'hontFly!2 beta team.

Hi,I've just reinstalled FlyII and successfully patched via 210 to 240 on my new machine:AMD 2400+Asus A7N8X (n-force2 chipset) mobo with 768 Mb and on-board soundRadeon 9700 Pro, 128 MbBut I'm unable to get the graphics working - smearing and flashing all over the screen. As it's been some time now since I used FlyII, I turn to you guys for advice.Any hint will be appreciated :-)Meanwhile I'm searching the archives and FAQ's...Kind RegardsTommyESMH

I have attached my Fly2K Terrascene made with TS2.0 and compared it to TS2.1 scenery of the same area for FlyII(South Florida...Miami Beach) with no editing on either one.The top scenery is of Fly2K and looks fantastic.The bottom is of FlyII and the coastlines and water look terrible.Also the bridges are missing...What is going on?How can I fix this?Any help would be appreciated.Tony in MiamiPS. Tony thanks for your help on the 24th.

Merry X-Mas,first great thanks to Simvol for the many textures, planes, airports,etc. in 2002!!!But how it looks with one of the "highlights" the ATR 42 ?We all have seen the unique pictures of the flight deck, but how "she"looks like from outside?Let

Hi,Where can I download an aircraft pod/unpod tutorial. I was successfull in unpod/unpodding and repainting an aircraft however when I click the SELECT aircraft in the drop down menu FLY2 closes/exits and when I checked FLY2 folder there was no error logged in the GTFO. I might be missing some steps here so I would appreciate your help. (p.s. in the aircaft.tif shall I render the low,mid,&high texture or I can select 1 and shall I maintain the .tif file size or can I go higher or lower ? )thankschris rpllhere's the repaint

I am reinstalling my Fly!II setup after switching to XP. I have the original version and all of the patches (except the latest one). I was looking to see if there was anything I needed to do different with XP. My plan was to install, then immediately patch to 230 and then to the latest patch before doing anything. I was using InfoMETAR and C4TO before. Does anyone have any advice for using them in XP?I had considered just getting MSFS but I hate to give up all of my Fly!II files. Plus, now that I have a stick with rudder control I want to try my hand at the 407 again.Thanks in advance for letting me take advantage of your collective experiences.

Hi...I am an experienced helicopter pilot in FS 2002 but it seems unbelievably difficult to fly the Bell 407 in Fly 2. Can anybody assist. ThanksRichard;)

Well Santa brought me a CH Yoke for Christmas. I don't have rudder pedals yet so that means I have to run Fly II with the rudder and aileron coupled. I believe Fly! had a setting called "coordinated turns" which allowed you to use a joystick without a rudder control but I can not find this choice in Fly II. I found two lines in the fly.ini that say "couplerudderaileron" and coupleruddertoaileron". I think these are redundant but I set both to 1 not knowing which has priority. Even after making this change the axis indicator only shows aileron movement without rudder movement. Anyone have a clue how to set Fly II for coordinated turns?Dean

Can anyone tell me if the new DirectX release will help/hinder or otherwise affect FlyII?Thanks in advance.

Hi guysLike a few others, seeing the latest patch from the talented and courageous Richard Harvey I have reinstalled Fly!2. I have a new rig and this was another reason for giving it a fresh try. I am pleased with the results that I am getting but occasionally come across the odd item that I remember being an irritant in my original efforts.One is the apparent inability to get one's aircraft in the correct position on the map (keypress m). I was wondering if in the intervening period, someone out there has managed to produce a fix or a workaround for this small glitch.I was a tremendous fan of the original Fly! and I am again experiencing the thrill of the magnificent co…

Is anyone else having problems with the new patch (V2.50.240) and development add-ons such as Advanced Logbook (V1.1) and Advanced Checklist (V1.5) or is it just me? Logbook will not allow me to open an existing file or start a new one and checklist will not open any checklists. I am unfortunately not a programmer but I suspect it has something to do with the *.dll files.Although I like the add-ons, the new Fly! II is fantastic especially when flying a PMDG 757 at dusk...(lost many flights when the wheels came down and the front wheel was at a 90 degree angle to the plane).Many thanks to R Harvey and all associated for a great flight sim and to AVSIM staff for making it …

With Fly getting a breath of fresh air, I want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday!Take your time off to enjoy those around you, and squeeze in a few landings when no one is looking! :-hahWith all the new stuff coming in for Fly (again the freeware community here is outstanding) I'm sure you'll manage all very well over the next few days.Now, where is that P51D?

I am experiencing a problem with the 4 Hawker fuel gauge pointers (2-qty, 2-flow)and the flap position pointer after the new patch. The pointers are too big and "float" above the panel in the wrong positions. Could someone else check and see if its just me?

I send to all forum people, my best wishes for this Christmas.Really I wish you health, happyness and peace. I am very happy to know in this forum there are a lot of nice persons that share this clean hobby and friendship with others.A lot of wishes to all my friends again and receive my best regards alsoGiorgio [email protected]

Has anyone seen this package for sale in the last while?I am still flying (no pun intended..) Fly! 2k,but am ready to try out Fly II, now that I have a newGF4 4200 128Meg video card which should provide the necssary performance..Any leads (including pre-owned) welcome!

Did some more painting this week.A few shots.greets

I've finally decided to take the unpopulated airports into my own hands. Here's how I do it: I use fs2002 to go to may airport of choice. I then take a few screen shots. I load up Terramodels and, voila, a few minutes later, I 've got a perfect airport with buildings and terminals in their geographically accurate locations. tony

I dl with infometar and set up according to instructions, look up the file in weather, find it but the sky does not change a bit. Here in Iceland the weather is playing wild at them moment but what would I be doing wrong that it does not simulate in FLY:Regard

From the Fly community.

Well, while at work yesterday I received a call from my wife that my computer has gone to the happy hunting ground. I returned home to find that I have a drive failure or controller failure - looks like I get to spend my Christmas vacation trying to resurrect or repair her, so I'm offline from home right now and won't be posting until this is resolved.I had a lot of Fly! stuff on the failed drive, including beta versions, scenery production, DB projects, etc. so I'm a little concerned to say the least! As I am about to go incommunicado, I would pass on Season Greetings to all of you. God's richest blessings to you in the coming year - see you on the other side.C.A.V.U.

I hope everyone is enjoying Christmas time now! ;)

To Rich and everyone who helped in creating Fly!2Thank you.Happy Christmas and God Bless to all.Ben
