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!

    Anyone have either of the PMDG aircraft that they no longer use and want to part with?I'd prefer the 57. This is for Fly! 2K. I cant find the info on their page, they appear to have yanked it all. Are they not even selling it anymore?Also, does anyone know, do older aircraft (from 2K) work in Fly! II? (I ask because I also may be getting Fly! II for christmas, and would hate to buy something that I wont be using in another 2 months.)Brad

    Hi,I have questions on how to delete obsolete airports, modify airport's coordinations, or update navaid data, such as frequencies? The real-world Hobby (HUB) frequency is 117.10. Also, KIAH now has 15R ILS, not 15L ILS. I found some coordinations for some airports were not correct. Thank you very much for your time and help.Regards,Eddy

    steer me in the right direction. I WAS a hardcore Fly!2K guy. I am REALLY eager to be that same person again. I just installed Fly!2K and I need to make a VCF file for my Geforce2 Ultra 64 video card. A few questions below:1. How do I make a video card report?2. How do I "customize" or "tweak" my VCF once I have it?3. Has anyone seen Elrond? Can you steer me to him?For the life of me I CANNOT remember these things (it was over 2 years ago).Thanks for the help!Jason RavainFormer Fly!2 Beta Tester

    I've been away from Fly!2 for several months now, busy playing with "the other sim." I've enjoyed it very much, but now I'm ready to get back to Fly!2 and divide my flying between the two sims.However, I have some aircraft with personalized livery over there and was wondering if someone would be willing to do a couple of repaints for me in Fly!2.I would like very much to have one of the float helos and the Malibu (Sahara) repainted with my own personal livery. If someone would be willing to do this for me, just let me know. I can explain what I'm looking for.... it shouldn't be too difficult, but I don't know -- I'm not a repainter.

    Hello,have a problem with Fly2, latest patch.I changed my system from win98 to win2000. Now there is a problem with the grafic card. I use a radeon 7500.When I start fly, the screen with the grafic options is ok, but thenwhen the loadingscreen appears, the program will not switch to the correct resolution. The screen flickers like 60 Hz, and the wide/high seems notto be correct. Under Win98 at this moment the programm switches the graficmode.Is there a tweak?I use the newest win2000 driver for graficcard and directx8.1 for win2000.D_Mick - Bonn/Germany

    I know this subject has been discussed previously and I don't believe any action was taken.Would it be feasible to gather together a number of the Fly community for the purpose of developing aircraft? The team would decide which aircraft to build and the different design areas would be assigned to those who wanted to participate. This method would allow a large number of aircraft to be built and in less time than it presently takes.My nomination to head this team would be Dan Larson.Now it is time for input from the Fly community, so lets hear both the good and negative of this suggestion.
