Rich,my wife found it on the internet...had to think of you,so here it goes.When all the world surrounds me,Pressing like some heavy load,And it seems i get so weary,Just from walking down this road,I look into your eyes and then,My heart heads for the sky,I find my feet have sprouted wings,With you my soul can FLY.....reading your words,and thinkin

Does the mapper.dll addon work with the hawker? If so I haven't been able to get it to work. I have installed it per the docs with no luck. I have it working on the Pilatus PC-XII and Socata TBM 700. Thanks for any input.

I just discovered that in the FLY2 main folder resides a "control.txt" file that will wnable you to tweak the joystick controls, in particular the throttle( Z axis) so that the "0 throttle" is easier to attain. In doing so, engaging the "reverse" mode is easier: you don't have to shove the throttle against the stop trying to get the perfect 0 before the reverse will engage. Just change the "null zone" number from .050000 to .100000 and it will do the trick for you. I have not played with the other settings, but this clearly made my day.tony

I'm having a troubling problem where after executing Fly!2, the screen goes black and then flips back to the desktop. Fly!2 does not crash or give an error, but when I click on the running process in the taskbar, it goes black and then flips again to the desktop. I can sometimes resolve the problem by rebooting, but not always. It seems to be hit and miss for me when trying to run it. Has anyone else had a problem like this?Here is my configuration:Dell Dimension 8100P4 1.3ghz, 512MB RamgeForce3 ti200 w/ 128 MB RamnVidia 4.72 driversWindows XP Professional patched to SP1Anyone who has had this problem or can share some advice would be greatly appreciated.

h e l l u p ,fly! don't likes me lol!, or my computer or ... don't know I bought the THIRD one yet in a couple of weeks of which two Fly lite versions, one went back to the shop ,the second i have still , and the third version being now the full version from FLY!, gotten via eBay , came wth a beautiful relief print on the box ,was sealed , my expectations were really reasonable high now. This must have success... But a great done relief print can't solve a software loading problem , as I found out ...... when the simulator picks out the places I may fly!

Just sent the Eastern 757-225 repaint for Fly! II off to the server. This didn't take as long as I had originally thought. Enjoy.Pete

Hi all :-wave If you have just converted a great scenery with FSI post it here so we can all have a goHere is my first one Edinburgh Airport the zip to look for is edin2002.zipwith all the scenery running on my comp its a slide show but hitting "alt F7" sorts it out for me. PS.. remember I only have a 16 meg card.

Hi!Just wanted to report back on this one. It worked perfectly and here's what I did as well as some pictures.- Went to the taxiways folder- Renamed taxiusa.pod to taxiusa.pud (so that FSI doesn't get "confused" with the current taxiways)- Renamed taxiways.pod to taxiways.pud (ditto, just in case)- Went to SceneryShared and viewed the cities.pod file to see if there was a Scenerya.??? for the tile I was going to be working on (200 157) and there was, so I unpodded it.- Went to the DataD200157 folder and edited the Scenerya.??? file- Left just the first and last lines, wiped out all the rest (so that default models don't interfere with the new scenery)- Make shure that sea…

Just the icon to make then I'll pod her and send her to the server.PeteJust noticed the changes to the cabin windows did not get saved to the model so I'll have to make the corrections before posting.

After Richard's clear explanation of how FLY handles scenery, I took another look at my set and did the following:1. brand new render.ini for my t3200 video card2. check how scenery is loaded as the plane is scrolled around the scenery and its effect on the fps.3. see what effect lowering the High Resoultion and Medium Resolution settings would have on overall fps.Conclusion:1. correct allocation of the 256x tiles is the most important ones.2. the Medium resolution setting is deadly on fps. Here are pictures of these settings and the resulting fps. Let's start this thread. And, by the way, this is the wonderful Poretta.zip file for msfs2002, which is available on Avsim.I…

I posted these screenshots a while back while running beta tests, but they kind of got lost in the screenshot forum that day:http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID47/13470.html

Hi There,Here's some new Embraer 145 shots! I decided to leave it this way. It's allready to it maximum polygon number, so I can't add anything anyway.

I cannot seem to figure out what is causing this. When I start at LFPO, all the TerraModels (ROTW's models) appear - airport looks great. But when I fly from another airport (far enough away so that the LFPO models would not have loaded at startup), upon arrival, there are no models whatsoever. I don't know if its related to this greens-square problem (see photo below), but I believe this disappearing models problem and the green square problem both started at about the same time. NOTE: I am using other ROTW airport sceneries. I do not have the ROTW revised generic Europe textures installed. I have a load of other add-ons. Short of starting from scratch, does anyone have …

Help me, Someone with this type card Or let me see somones INI or Render .ini files

These are the shots that got my interest on FLY!... it was love at first sight!I remember Rich posted the reason why "that" panel could not be used at that time... "it will eat all the resources of the PC"... je je! I think we all had 16MB on the Video card and some lucky ones 32MB.enjoy...

Just some rudder to aft fuse art work to align then she'll be ready to upload.Pete
