Had a RAID problem today. Please see:http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID56Art.

Hi everyone !I have both Fly! and Fly!II. Each version has its own advantages and its own drawbacks. I'd like to know which version of Fly! do you prefer and WHY ? (Why one version is better than the other ? ...)As for me, I think Fly! is better than Fly!II regarding the clouds, the number of aircraft, of sceneries. With Fly!, you can "flatten" an aiport whereas with Fly!II, it's not yet possible. Moreover, Fly!II are heavier than Fly! ones.Thank you for your answer !Damien BRUNET (LFQQ)e-mail : [email protected], L'Univers de Damien BRUNEThttp://www.udb.fr.st/

I know this issue has been addressed before; I apologize for bringing it up again here.I notice when playing back a takeoff (and in some instances, landing) the wheels seem to not exist. I guess I can live without it but was wondering if there was a fix for this?Any help??John BauderFly!2K MAC/Fly II PC UserPalm Springs, California, [email protected]

Had a PROB. My hard drive would not let me in my computer, And had to upgrade the hard drive. It took me all weekend to install this monster! What was 6 Gb is now 32 Gb (2)For storage. Done by myself and not experienced in this field, That`s why it took me so long. Still caught my self looking @ the forums at work. Seems to me like not much going on. Anyway , glad to be back. Hope Steve Brown is keeping us updated On his repaint tutorial Jeff Akins aka : pilotsim7828

I just finished my newest repaint.. the Boeing 727 on Mexicana Livery. It took me the whole Saturday, I am still working on using some views from the DC9( The side and back views ) then I will upload it.The following are some screenshots of the current Mexican Liveries, and of course the great Aeromexico MD-80 from McPaint ( I love the reflection of the engine!) Just sharing...

Hi All,Every time i try to load a flight plan made using the Fly2 flight planner or the FSBuild,only the aircraft and a scenery without the airport and runways appears on the screen.What could be happen?I'm trying to open clicking on the quick flightadventures menu.TIA,Zepinto

Had an opportunity to try out Flight-Ontario's area scenery for the Thunder Bay area for that other sim. Excellent! Hope we can lobby for a conversion to FLY2 format.... :-)Art.

Good morning all:Can someone tell me what causes the stuttering and/or CPU hesitations (hang ups/pauses) while using Fly!II? Very frustrating to say the least!! At times, my unit gets good frame rates, and runs so smoothly, yet at times, my unit will pause or hang up or stutter. I think that I have a unit with enough power for Fly!II, (one can never have enough power); 733Mhz CPU, 512Mb RAM, Win'98SE operating system, Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti4400 graphic card with 128 on board RAM. I remember reading other postings regarding this same problem. Does anyone have a fix, or is anyone working on a fix. Is this a Fly!II bug? If it is, will the fix be included or being considered …

To the makers of FLY2 BEAUTIFUL CLOUDS and to ROTW thank you very much.chris salviejorpll

Hi folks,yesterday I got an error messsage in the PMDG B777 (FLYII)."FMC Exception Caught in DLLIdle-tag1" so in this way.I got this message while I was setting the waypoints in the FMC andpusehd the activate button. In the same moment the screens got black!!What is that?Bye

Hi,I downloaded the flynavdat_cycle0209_full_dex.zip file but couldn't update the Fly II POD's. I believe I readed and executed the instructions correctly, but with no success. DexImport always freeze after some seconds. So I decided to ask if someone can put in a site for download the updated POD's.Regards,:-beerchugMarco Antonio SilvaBrazil

Is there a way to reduce the size of the panels in the Bell 407s? They take up well over 50 percent of the screen and it is impossible for me to see where I'm going, much less where I want to land.I can change my eyepoint, but that really isn't as much help as I'd like. I need to see more ground real estate. Thanks for any help.-Lindy :-wave

Being retired for over 20 years all I have is my computer and flight sims.Having seven days for my hobby you can see my frustration that verylittle is accomplished on Sat & Sun. Or like the old movie "LOST WEEKEND".By no means do I begrudge the simmers who like to spend their weekendswith their families, in fact I envy [email protected]

Over the last few months (on and off) I have been digging a bit deeper into the scenery capabilities of Fly!2, I found several undocumented tricks while poking around and experimenting with .Tga.Raw and .Opa image files. This will only be of interest to the likes of ROTW, Pascal and any other Fly!2 scenery designers, but I also believe it will be of benefit to the lifespan of Fly!2 as a whole.1) All runway textures are capable of the standard 256x256 pixel dimension, but also 512x512 and 1024x1024. I have been using a custom high resolution runway at 512x512 (see second pic).2) The water textureanimation is at 128x128 pixels standard, this can also be replaced with 256x25…

Just finished and sent off to the AVSIM server.Pete

Hi,I`ve downloaded the airports of ROTW and installed them correctly.But when I go in Fly they are not there.The airports are for example:-Marseille, Toulouse, Zurich, Lyon or Bordeaux.I have Biberall but what is the problem?(Also the Ile de R

So there I was running out of fuel.....chasing the sky for the airborne gas station :)After some chasing I finally got behind her,but she didn't lower the boom :)Here are some pics.http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dc27c05540a866c.jpghttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dc27c215453993a.jpghttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dc27c3354985264.jpghttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dc27c4754ceb3e7.jpghttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dc27c5754ff84ad.jpgJohnny"I'LL BE BACK"[div align=center]http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/josve/fly2/vas.gif ][/div

I know I've asked this question before, allow me to post it again. Is it possible to select or assign the type of AI aircraft that will populate the FLY2 environment/skies? thanks.chris salviejorpll

Hi all.There is two good thing in the French team for FLY2 users.I wonder what is the status of the ATR42, no rush, pls note.rgdsCesar/Venezuela

The weirdest thing happened recently! I load up Fly and my Joystick doesn't work anymore even tho it does when I test the controls.There is no movement on the plane when i do an outside view. I also have FS2002 and works with that?Anybody have any ideas what could be wrong?? Appreciate any help.Thanks in advance.Soar (but grounded cos I don't like using the keys to fly)

Hi folks,I`ve been repainting a little.This one is better than what I did yesterday.If you do not agree please tell me.BTW ,it flies over Switzerland.Greets

Just recently I bought Fly!2 and upon installing and running it I have extremely LOW fps when in the outside view so slow to the point that I can't get to the cockpit view (where I can get good FPS) sometimes. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? Another thing is that when flying I see the ground and it looks as though the aircraft textures are plastered to the ground. Any help would be appreciated. But otherwise I love the game because its got nice cockpits and clouds and flight dynamics.Thanks in advanceGrant Z.P.S. I've got a voodoo 3 card but otherwise meet system requirements.

Just installed C4to and it tells me I'm at the wrong airport. Know there is a simple solution, but have forgotten. All help appreciated.ThanksRobert J
