The FLY General Discussion Forum

Hello Fly!ersI have one big problem. My DVD drive won't accept my Fly!IICD, and wonder why? The sim has been installed before, butwith my old CD-ROM drive.The install stops at around 72% and then bark about somefile-error (away from computer at home). I am getting a bitdesperate for a King Air and Hawker fix! Please help.Fly safe, -Niels Christiansen

Only have to make the menu Icon and pod this up and she will be ready. Saturday.Pete

The Transair B1900 is kind of plain. It'd be great to have some of your beautiful renderings in a commuter airline.tony

any idea about this error. Thanks for any suggestion to fix this.chris

There is a new ATC program for Fly2 in the french site, go a get it!.rgdsCesar/Venezuela

Hello all,I have searched the forums here and found information on Fly2lan. Is there a site I can get this software? I would love to hook up a second monitor for Fly2. Let me know, thanks!Kevin W. Ray

Hi,Just to show some shots that I did from the next TRI simulator... I bought to my son and now we are having great time playing it!Hey Rich, this is for you! :-)This is called AUTORAMA (Slot Car Racing) and I did some paintings from my prefer flight simulator! This amazing car runs at almost 50 Km/h!Cheers,

HiI've been trying to get Fly! to work on XP, is there anyway i can get it to function without encountering an error after clicking on the icon.See other posting link on other forum:http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...orum=DCForumID8CheersWill

I don't understand it. I have the pod and the *.sce files in the 'scenery' folder and Biberall as well as the tm128 and 256 in the 'shared" scenery folder. And yes, 'search pod' is at '0'. The other sceneries work fine. Does any else use this scenery?tony

Can FS Imports be setup so that it only converts 3D models and not the ground textures and elevation data within a scenery area? Here is a screenshot of a scenery area called Hudson Valley that adds 3D models and ground textures with elevation data along the Hudson River.The screenshot shows the "battle" going on within the sim between loading default ground textures and the converted ground textures.

Went up about 1:30 this afternoon, beautiful herd of cumulous clouds floating around @ 3100ft. I was at 2500 but still felt close enough to reach out and touch them :) http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/Dcp_0046.jpg This is about 8 miles north of ISZ (Blueash in Cincinnati, Ohio) heading toward MWO (Hook Field in Middletown, Ohio) for some X-wind T&G's. To bad I wasn't on a cross country, that hole just off the wingtip would have been perfect to poke through and get on top for some smoother air.Took this about two weeks ago heading back to ISZ from MWO, was just a bit north of HAO (Hamilton/Fairfield) http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/middletown_sunset.jpg Down to …

Greetings to all!I just downloaded TerraModels 2.1 (?) and have started trying to use it. I find it would work better for me if I could have some sort of tutorial to view and maybe it would help me figure things out. I see a tutorial for Terra Scene... is this supposed to be the same thing? From the screen shots I've seen it doesn't look the same.I've tried painting planes and can't figure it out -- maybe I'm just too impaatient. I really only want to create one little area -- around the area where I live since it's so beautiful. This, I believe can be done.Is there anyone out there in the Southern California area who would be willing to maybe have a little in-perso…

Hoping this season finds you well, and that you are enjoying this time with family and friends.You are still in our prayers every day.

Hi All :-waveAfter a mad few weeks Im going to resume the Bell Helicopter tutorial.As Im going to have a full day free next week.Happy Flying!Steve Brown (Steviegeebee)

Hello,I have been flying Fly 2k on my Mac a few years ago. When I upgraded to FlyII, it was impossible to fly on my Mac (slide show -- 5 fps). So I got tired of my Mac and bought a pc. I have been flying X-Plane and Falcon 4.0 for a year now. But I still remember many good flying hours with Fly. So I have been contemplating buying Fly II for my pc and then PMDG's Boeing 777 (I prefer flying heavies).I have read some threads here and understood that Fly II will not continue to be developed, at least not as it looks now.My question to this forum is, Would you recommend me to buy Fly II? Is it worth it? I have a rather powerful pc (Athlon XP1900+, Gforce 3 Ti500, 1 Gb RAM, 6…

Hi, Richard. This is not what the title implies.Rather,it's an attempt to discuss in more detail fly2 scenery and its interaction with HD access and video card and msfs' way of handling scenery. There's no question that fs2002 appears to have a more "elegant" way with which to handle scenery access, which explains its ability to keep fps more stable, that is, to prevent these sudden,(not the 4fps)but minor,drops in fps. I am sure you've had an opportunity to study in great detail msfs, and, while this subject has been discussed in great detail( the render.ini), I still think there's room for input as we try to move this sim forward. HOw Fly handles scenery, I believe, i…

Just finished and sent off to the AVSIM server. A few small graphic glitches are present but cannot be overcome. I hope these will not detract from the overall look of this livery. America West Arizona is nearly done. Still fussing with the Rudder to Fuse art work. I've also done the preliminary work on US Airways, Classic and Modern liveries, American Airlines Retro livery, Eastern Airlines, Avensa, Northwest Orient Classic, Britannia, British Air, America West Modern, and America West Nevada. I've also promised Argentine Airforce and LAPA. I usually jump from one livery to another, depending on my mood at the time. Pete

Just downloaded ac_default_fix2.zip from AVSIM. It's a collection of addons for default Fly!2 aircraft by different authors put together by Robert Vigetti ( a clock you can read! in the Cessna, Malibu overhead panel oin main panell, etc)Thanks to all who have contributed.Ben

Here's an attempt to color a black & white photoscenery. If you like this fancy color it takes 4 steps using photoshop 7.chris

Just sent this one off to the server. I'll be gone for the next three days so everyone have a great Turkey day.Pete

I'm having a bit of trouble diagnosing the problem that is causing the green square (see top right of screenshot) to appear at LFPO. I have verified that I am using the correct taxiway file that I downloaded with the LFPO package. I even extracted the taxiways from the POD and placed them in my DATA folder.I have many ROTW France airport (and some TerraScene) sceneries installed. Before I begin to roll back my installation, does anyone know how to solve this problem. I have Francetaxi-f2_v23.POD also installed in my TAXIWAYS subdir. Thanks.-DK----David KohlFly!

Hi all,I was wondering if someone could help me in an issue with gtopo dems in fly!2.The thing is, after importation into fly!2, the new elevations appear but only within a short radius around the airplane and seam to update as the plane goes further in the scene (hope i m clear!!!!)Tried to make a very large scf and no results.Any clue? Thanks in advanceLet 's keep fly! alive!Sebastien (rotw)

1) Is it possible to have the runways lights on during day time?2) When approaching an airport, I find myself always too high when too close from the runway. With the Cessna, what would be the right altitude at about 8-10 mn from an airport? This to avoid a dive at the last minute.:-)ThanksRakham
