The FLY General Discussion Forum

.. the name of the fellow who developed the very first aircraft add-on for the very first version of FLY!. I think it was a 757 and it was a freeware. The forum archives don't go far enough in time for me to find out nor his aircraft is still in the library.Michael J.

Hi friends,the Socata TB10 release V1.10 is on line on simvol (in zip mode or exe mode).We have fixed some bugs (Thanks Chris Wallace to have listed all of them and to have realised the autorun file).Regards

I don't know if it's my system, but there's a small, pink line appearing on the windshield of the Socata. It appears in all views, except in the larger instrument panel. This is some work of art! It's the first plane I can manually fly IFR and not over control.tony

HI there,Just a quick note to ask if there are any landclass developers out there how would like to work with me on a new project.Ideally, I would like somebody how has a lot of free time and like me likes to work with a passion and get things done fast and to perfection.Please contact me on [email protected] if you would like to talk about this.

Hello dear friends,Here at Fly.Simvol-ROTW, we often receive messages from new potential users who would like to buy a copy of Fly!II.When they are Windows users, we send them on the websites practising auctions sales, and they often get there what they are looking for.But for Mac Users, it seems quite impossible to find copies for sale...Do you have an idea about the best way to find ancient users of Fly!II on Mac, who would accept to sell their original copy? If so, we could bring them to contact with buyers, for instance by creating a special forum dedicated to these contacts...Thanks in advance for your suggestions :-)

Hi there,Just to let you know that I've manged to get the 737 panel up and running in FlyII and its coming along quite nicely, just completed the Engine instrument displays, and are now in the process of making some more needle files and pbg's. I'll probably have some better pics in a week or so, once I'm able to tidy things up a bit.Anyhow I thought you maybe able to get a feel of what to come, as well as completely new B737 flight dynamics and engine specs.Thanks again for your interest EarlTake care John

Hi folks,I'm back to FLY! since I used Fly2K for a time and amazed about the development of the simulation. Started with the DVD of the ROTW I have a lot of fun flying in FRance. So I want to make my home region a little more attractive and realistic, because Germany is very poor in Fly. Beginning with Danieles easy to use tutorial of converting srtm to ras-files(thanks Daniele) i want to make some elevations first. But the DEMFILEViewer, that is needed to convert the TGA-Files to ras seemed to be no longer available. The side www.asrux.com/fly/gtopo30.html is down and i can't find any other page to download the program. Please, tell me, where i can get the program!Best r…

Hi Everyone,I'm interested in finding out what bits of FLYII you LIKE or DISLIKE?for example: do you like/dislike the Aircraft, the Aicraft Flight Systems, the Scenery, ATC, the Panels, Development, VFR etc.........or what would you most like to see?The objective is to highlight areas of FLYII, which may inspire future development................so don't be shy and let us all know what you think.Many ThanksJohn

G'day all,I was doing a shakedown flight from Sydney to Canberra and made a discovery (for me :-) - but then I'm always the last to know :-lol ) that ADF auto tune in the vector map actually works. I don't know if it was corrected in the final patch or if in fact it was ever a bug at all?. I always thought it was a bug.When the cessna installs, at start up the ADF radio defaults to displaying the active frequency and the elapsed time. Auto tune tunes the standby ADF frequency so when you auto tune there is no visible sign of anything happening. However if you then select standby frequency the auto tuned frequency is displayed and if you then select transfer it becomes …

With the proliferation of aircraft for MSFS in the payware arena, time to throw out some ideas once again:I for one would dearly love to see a decent C-130 model... regular and ski-equipped. The latter I can provide picutres of, or direct one's attention to the AlphaSim C130 package containing the Operation Deep Freeze ski-equipped LC-130 (back in my Operation Deep Freeze day (1978-1980) it was an LC-130R model).Hoping Eddie Souter still plans on releasing his C-152 as well!Feel free to add to this list / thread!Thanks!Ken Wood :-sun1http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/bannernewkw.jpgGateway 700X; Intel P4 2.4GHz; 512MB RAM; NVIDIA Ti4200 4X AGP 128MB; SB Audigy; Thrust…

Hi guys,Does anyone know how to make PBM files for Adventures in FLYII? Also, how to get a metar file for just the flight plan you are making?Thanks,Earl

Hi there all,FYI the TB10 will ship in two versions : a simple version with an auto tab, that is a sort of auto trim coupled to the yoke, and a version with two coupled ROTW_350 navigation displays in a plain overhead view, not very realistic but handy to place those big gauges ... you'll have to choose one of these versions.

Hi, I

Hi at all,after installing EGLL and Gatwick scenery yesterday everytime I used the flight planner to generate a route it crashed to the desktop.Searching avsim I found out it has to do with the ATSRoute.pod. I replaced it today with the original pod and now flight planner works with no probs but I suppose with outdated data.My questions:Does custom scenery do changes to the ATSRoute.pod even when it comes wihtout dex.files for the databases?What exactly is stored in ATSroute.pod?Thanks

Wow, it's been a loooong time since I've peeked in here. I just can't stand the MS FS2004 scenery blurries anymore, and would like to explore some of the other flight sims options lingering around. Can someone please tell me how the VFR flying is? Specifically, what is the scenery quality around 1D2 airport, Canton-Plymouth-Mettetal Airport located in Plymouth, Michigan? Details here: http://www.airnav.com/airport/1D2 I know that Randall Rocke in the past was so kind as to actually make this airport specifically, but do you get "photo realistic" textures/scenery surrounding it? What does it look like today with any scenery enhancements? Would someone be so kind as…

I uninstalled Fly but would still like to see some of the charts off of the 3rd cd, does anyone know a possible way?

Hi Everyone, .........in need of your expertiseIf you can answer or help with any of the following, Id really appreciate any input. Thanks Guys.Q1) On a typical Boeing aircraft,........ where is the Transpoder located within the cockpit and how do I input the Transponder squark codes ?Q2) Can someone please explain what the AUDIO panel is used for and How is it operated during atypical flight ?Q3) Within FLYII is it possible to change and enlarge the Radio Frequency Digits. (the file reference appears as ca01 etc, but I can't locate the file. Is this file built into FLYII's system ? and therefore c…

I inststalled FlyII!Then Patched it to v.210Then Patched it to v.240Then installed PMDG 777I tested the game at this point and it worked.Then installed PMDG 757 with the 777 patchGame registers an error in winrunn.cpp on line 157 at startup and crashes.How do I fix this?PMDG no longer supports FlyII it appears.Thanks!

Hi guys,A new bridge is born in the "Skunk Works". You can take a peek at it if you check my profile, site -> Fly II -> Projects. Check the "newstuff" pic. I am not much happy with my previous "Bridge Pack 1" that you can find in the library, hence the reason to make a new one. If any of you need it, I can tailor-make a new bridge pack. If you want English/American road markings...just send me a 256x256 .tga pic with the road texture, and I will include all the versions. :-scatter

Just a note to all who use TerraScene...I was able to access and freely download DEM (7.5 and 15 meter datasets) from the following link: http://www.geocomm.com/You need to create a login account (free) to download files. Then click on the 'GIS Data' tab along the top of the web page. I clicked on the USGS DEM's link under 'TOPICS' on the left side of the web page and eventually was able to see DEM's, DLG's, and LULC's - everything I needed to get TerreScene up and running again. (A 'Premium' account for the above link would cost but is more geared for businesses needing the data on a more frequent basis than most Flight Simmers.)Also, here is a link to the USGS SDTS…

Hi there FS Earth is available now.It's a tool which injects the plane positions from MSFS into Google Earth, so this can be used as scenery now.My hope is to have the same for Fly!II, so programmers at work..:-)))Files:1)Over Sudan airspace2)Italian coastlines

Hello all,I'm wondering if anyone is running Fly! II with an on-board GeForce6100 Video Accelerator chip. Here's the system:Athlon64 3200+(L2 Cache 512KB)GeForce6100 Chipset (Micro ATX Motherboard)1 GB Memory (DDR SDRAM / Dual Channel)160GB Hard Disk (7200rpm)I'm considering buying the above. At the moment I'm using a GeForce 3 Video graphics card on a Pentium 4 (2.4 GHz) and only 256 Mb memory. Fly runs at 25 fps.Is the GeForce6100 Video Accelerator chip built on the motherboard better than my present GeForce 3? Any comments?Danny

Calling Wayne Roberts!After all the great airports you have made for FLYII, I thought surely I could find KPDK and KTYS (Knoxville). But I have searched everywhere, using every combinationI could think of.... I can't find either one! Amazing!Wayne are you still doing airports? I would like to request these 2 to go with my Adventure here in the Avsim library.You do the greatest airport work!Thanks for all the ones you've already done!Earl
