Hi folks ,What do you think?

This is my first repaint of the PMDG 757 with night lights. These are just proof of technique shots and the final night light effects will be adjusted. This is TANGO 01, the Argentine Presidential Jet.Pete

This is not a "bug"The new system to change airports is rather cumbersome andwhen you finally get to teleport it takes a very, very longtime to boot-up the new airport.Is this a fixable problem?Please [email protected]

I bought fly!2 in a bargain set after owning it a previous time. Due to having to sell my old computer and all my games I couldn't wait to get my hands on it again. It comes pre patched to 197 and is okay if I patch it to 210. But when I try 230 or the last patch after the load screen I get wierd shapes and parts of objects overlapping my aircraft. Now before anyone laughs at me I did put together my last computer and here are my new specs. My girlfriend wanted a computer she could use so we bough an hp low end model.HP 310n Intel pentium 4 1.1 GHZOnboard video at 4 mb Intel 810i128 megs ram.intel sound Windows XPNow I know that running fly on an onbord video chip is a si…

If you use InfoMETAR's Thinning functionality in conjunction with this final patch for Fly II, you will most likely get the best results if you set the "Minimum miles between included stations" in the Thinning Settings dialog to 0 miles. With this last patch, Fly II's METAR interpolation routine has been improved to where it seems to be working pretty well, especially in areas with dense METAR coverage, so that particular feature of InfoMETAR's thinning algorithm should no longer be required in most cases.Nonetheless it is still worthwhile to use InfoMETAR in conjunction with the final patch, because you still benefit from the many other improvements it makes, such as th…

Hi,i posted some pics in the screenshot forum.If you want to have a look.http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID47Rodger :-beerchug

Hi.First of all thank you for the patch. I am sorry but I din't read the "readme" file before I activated the last patch, so I have not made a back up of the recomended files. Now I get a fatal error when I try to do changes after the sim has started.I am able to fly in the start up situation, but if I want to select an another aircraft, or change the time setting I get the following message:Fatal error caused by .DLL" modulespcpydll.dll" in DLL ventNotice routine. File:Dllman.cpp line.2023. Can anyone give me an advice on how to solve the problem, or send me a valid pydll.dll file?Tor Arild Danielsen

Bear with me... this is a little complicated.The new Directory-search function has some problems and we may have to exercise a little care with it.1. Searching for "airports" seems to be okay, to start.2. Searching for "navaids" on "all states" seems to be okay.3. Searching for "navaids" on a specific state, appears to return the correct NUMBER of entries, but does not return entries for the requested state. Instead, it returns navaids all over the US. For example, searching for all navaids in ALASKA returns 138 entries, probably the correct number, but includes ELY, NEVADA, for example, and does not include BRW, Point Barrow, ALASKA. Doing a search on BRW in the F…

as we promised you, the first release of ROTW's graphic flight planner "VolNav", is on simvol, but...in french only for the moment.Don't worry if you don't read french, the english version is coming soon (thanks Didier to work hard during Christmas vacation ;-)).

Here is what to do:Go into options,then click on the realism...optionsClick on the Helicopter tab at the top of the box.Angular damping gain & Hover damping gain have a slider each and will be set to 0. Move the sliders up to 100.As you get better at the Bell407 you can move the sliders down.Any more Helicopter tips?Post them here!PS New Bell407 Splash Screens have been uploaded!!!http://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DLID=24136 Steve Brown "The Best Aid To Navigation, Is Having Been There Before" ;-)

Several questions for any 3dfx Voodoo 5 / WinXP users.Recently installed Fly II after using Fly 2k for over a year. Followed the "FIRST TIME FLY!ERS - PLEASE READ", patched to build 210 (I am using the US release of Fly II) without any problems. Started Fly II and in the startup options I selected DX 8, resolution 1024X768, Bit depth 32 bits, Video mem > 32MB. Simulation starts normal with the above selections. However, if I restarted Fly II and selected the "High Detail Textures" on the startup options menu, I get the following error message. "DIRECTX 8 3D DRIVER ERROR - Unable to create software vertex processing device - If you see this message, you need an updated …

Hello all,With Fly!II patched to 230, I get this error while using Terrascene to create (parse) scenery for KOUN oklahoma... Unexpected error: java.lang.NullPointerExceptionUpgraded to version 250 and got the same. What gives???Thanksblkwlsn

I noticed that FPS significantly increased with the latest patch. Here's some pix with the latest metar enroute to SNA.Thanks again Rich and the beta team. (When I read the readme file, it's amazing the amount of efforts and talents that were placed/contributed in the latest patch)Enjoy. chrisrpll

Hi everyone,Just installed the latest patch and no problems at all. Thanks Rich and team-I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season!P.S. Ask what Brown can do for you.Qdog

I'm using fly since the begining and had a problem that I thought was my machine (Pentium II, 266, 128MB Mem and NVidia 32MB running Windows 98). When flying, fly stops each 5 to 8 minutes for a while (2 to 5 seconds) and then continues. It is terrible specially when it occurs in the final approach.OK, I've changed my machine to a Dell Pentium IV, 2GB, 256MB Mem and NVidia 64MB, running Windows XP Home. I was excited because this "stops" should not occur. I was wrong, it still occurs with the same frequency and for the same 2 to 5 seconds each stop.My Fly! II is at 230 and fully installedDoes somebody know if it is related to any Fly! II parameter? I'll appreciate any hel…

Rich and the Beta Team have fixed the code that affected PMDG's 757-200 when the sim switched into night mode. I now have ton's of sleepless nights ahead as I adapt all of the 757 repaints to include night lighting. Rich and the Beta Team, many thanks from a die-hard 757 fan.Pete

Passengers on a plane are waiting for the flightto leave. The entrance opens, and two men walkup the aisle, dressed in pilot uniforms. Bothare wearing dark glasses. One is using aseeing-eye dog, and the other is tapping his wayup the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, butthe men enter the cockpit, the door closes, andthe engines start. The passengers begin glancing nervously,searching for some sign that this is just alittle practical joke. None is forthcoming.The plane moves faster and faster down therunway, and people at the windows realize thatthey're headed straight for the water at theedge of the airport. As it begins to look as though the…
