The FLY General Discussion Forum

The General Discussion forum for the TRI series of FLY Simulators.

Dedication

Richard Harvey

Lake Tahoe

September, 2002

This forum and all others related to the FLY series of flight simulator, are dedicated to the memory of Richard Harvey - the lead designer for Terminal Reality's Fly.

 

At the AVSIM FANCON of 2002, Richard and his wife, Tara, attended. Richard was presented with AVSIM's Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the flight simulation genre and his outstanding service and support of the FS community. Richard was a friend to many of us, and never hesitated to assist and inspire. Richard passed away the following March, 2003. He is sorely missed by his friends and those that were privileged to know him.

 

Richard in his last post to the forums said; "Try to stay away from things that are dark, dreary, introspective, tear jerkers, etc. Think HAPPY -- be HAPPY. If that is too much to ask, then I'll change the word HAPPY to POSITIVE. That's the flow of feeling I want rolling through my soul as I depart this earth from each of you, is absolute POSITIVE energy. Don't stall on me, I have to soar!"

 

Richard also passed this along to us in his last post; "******* Christ is my Lord and Savior. As my loving God and Lord has protected and guided me throughout my life, I pray he will do likewise for you and your family. May each of you achieve your dreams, and not be troubled by hardships. I pray for your good health. God will only give you as much load as you can bear, and never any more. Do not lose hope, nor certainly faith. Above all, do not fear evil, for though it surrounds us it can never hurt us. It may claim hollow victories, but it always suffers defeat."

 

We are proud to carry on Richard's undaunted support for his passion and his unstinting support of the user. Welcome to the Richard Harvey Memorial Fly Forums!

    About 6 or 8 months ago I had so much trouble with fly 11 that I uninstalled and forgot about it. When this new patch came out I got interested again and decided to try it. I installed fly 11 build 152-then insalled build 230-then installed the latest patch. When I brought up the sim I never saw such a mess in my life. There is flashing everywhere and the screen is dark with strange triangles at the top. Guess I had better forget about it again. I have plenty of power to run it and plenty of room on my hard drive. Anybody have any ideas? Don …

    Does anyone have a list of the correct aircraft settings for the various aircraft in FlyII? I think mine may be off a little. I'm talking about the Exponential Elevator and Exponential Aileron and such. Thanks again for the great help!!

    I have spent hours trying to reinstall and patch this program. Patch v152tov210 aborts and says found old file and stops patch install. I,ve tried deleting any files of FlyII that were left after uninstall thru windows. I,ve had to start over with fresh install as after putting on the new patch,scenery from the front view was distorted(not side views-wierd). Thought it might be because I had installed gps into the Aurora 200.Before I put on the latest patch it was working ok. Just about ready to give up on this. Any help would be appreciated! ThanksRichard

    I have an idea for our multiplayer problems and would like the crews thoughts. If someone here (I may be able to) could set up a dedicated Roger Wilco server, then we could connect to the vatsim network for multiplayer. This would give us multiplayer and our own voice traffic. Does anyone know if vatsim would have any problems with this? We of course would have to follow Vatsim's rules, but we could at least fly together. I guess we would have to fly in areas that are not covered under any controllers. Just a few random thoughts. Please let me know what ya think.I really miss the multiplayer. Having to reconnect to Tri's server every 10 minutes is not acceptable. …

    Am lusting after a 1955 J35 at our field here in Whitehorse. Have been flying around the area in one in FS2002, but now I think I will re-install FLY11 and give it a shot. (Really miss the panels and cockpit procedures available in FLY).Is there a freeware/commercial Bonanza out there? Didn't see one in AVSIM, but I have not checked elsewhere.

    Hi Folks, First a big thank you to Rich & all the Beta team for all the work to give us such a great Sim. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem but it has occurred 3 times to me now in about 6 flights. Everything seems OK, I am cleared, Taxi to the runway, cleared for take off, then I Alt R to reply & get the following error message:Fatal error caused by .Dll "ModulesPCFlyscripts.Dll" in DllKeyPressed routine File: Dllman.cpp Line: 1512.The last time this happened I was switched to the last Centre before being switched to Approach & again went to reply to loud & clear & got dumped out with the same message. Any ideas would be greatly…

    I have never used AA with Fly2 because I always had some kind of problem either with crashes, corrupt display, or poor performance. I have tried again with the 240 patch and results are encouraging. Of course it might be something else I have done over the months, but still.... if you have been having problems with AA, maybe try again...Board is ASUS V8420 deluxe (TI4200, 128mb, 40.72 drivers)Art.

    I've attached a few pics of the graphics problem that I'm having with the new patch. Hopefully, once the holidays are over, someone from the FLY! community or the beta team can help me with a quick fix.I haven't had any problems prior to the patch and I noticed that the new Render.ini is a bit different from the old version.I figure there's more simmers viewing the PC forum that might be able to help with this issue.Thanks,Peter

    With the release of the latest patch, I decided to load FlyII back on my computer after not using it in over a year. I forgot how cool this sim is! The aircraft are way better than the "other" sim. Anyways, I was wondering if someone can help me remember what files I need to make this sim great again. I have the patches, C4TO, Flyscripts, and all the maps from before. I installed all these things and it works great. Are there any other files that I truly MUST have?Any help would be appreciated,Glenn Westfall

Only one problem the airplane on the topo map is not postioned correctly it's about 20 miles off course. I must be missing something here is there a patch I have missed? I don't remember having this problem before. Thanks Dave.
