The FLY General Discussion Forum

HI all, I was one of the beta testers of the new cabincalls and all I can say is that the new impementations work really nice, I had three flights, and all went great except the last one where I had the stupid idea to press ctrl+e inflight (what was I thinking I don't know...)Here are 2 pics I took during my last flightLets give a big hand to Henri for his great work with cabincalls!!! :-wave :-wavecheers

Yesterday I borrowed a digitalprojector from my job and took it home to see how it would add to the illusion of being "there" using Fly II. So I disconnected my 17" standard monitor and replaced it with the the digitalprojector making a screensize (on the wall in my bedroom !)on app. 35". At this size the instuments(gauges) in the cockpit seemed to be just as big as in real life (did

Hi, Can anyone answer a few questions for me regarding weather?Firstly, If someone is flying from say KJFK to KDEN in a piper navajo (which would take about 8 hours) how would the pilot know what the winds were? Is their an ATCC he can tune in to to get the winds for his region? I assume that you cannot do this in FLY2.a) Can you download real world weather into fly2?:( If not is their a random weather generator?c) If still not, what would the winds be like at 24000ft from KJFK to KDEN, what are the typical values?Thanks for any help!Ric

Just sent this off to the server. Enjoy.Pete

Hi, Can anyone do me a huge favour and tell me what the magnetic variations are between KJFK and KDEN?CheersRic

I'll pod her up tomorrow morning and it should be available by Wednesday mid-day.Pete

I have searched for weeks and could not find a single document that would explain the process of importing a finished airplane model (3DMax) into Fly! II, would somebody be able to help me out? Thanks in advance.

how do i open pod files?and if there is a utility could someone please post a link

Hi,Please, this topic IS NOT to start a sim war, just a question that I have: Fly! runs better or worse than FS2k2 with same resolution? At least here in my computer Fly! wons but I

Hi,Just a quick question. Apart from training, under what other circumstances would the Navajo, PC12 and King Air be operated with two crew?Thanks ric

Hi, I saw a screenshot the other day, with an airport that instead of being laid on default scenery, was on grass... Can I do that if yes how, I'd like to do it on a couple airports...cheersTom

Hi,At the moment I am thinking about updating my CabinCalls script. One of the things I would like to add are more extensive checklists. Right now these checklists are automatically produced by the script depending on which flight phase you are in. On the ground this is certainly not ideal, since you have to follow certain rules. If you do something different a call might appear at the wrong time. Therefore, I would like to make at least the ground checklists to be heared after a keystroke command. My question now is what you would prefer: Have all the checklists available upon command or have some of them appear automatically like it is done now. The other in-flight anno…

Hi,Sorry to ask but I forgot where I can adjust 6 or 8 bits colors to render scenarios.Thank you,Keyton Cabral

Why is it whenever I contact approach and request to land, I know which runway they will choose. Its always the smallest bloody runway. When your flying a huge 747 or big 777 you dont want to land on a 5000x100 runway do ya?Anyone know if there is anyway to change this, and get ATC to give you more reasonanbly sized runways with things like ILS :( !!Thanks for ur time,Gazz

Hi I just purchased Fly 2K and discovered that it has a different selection of aircraft as compared to Fly II. As a newbie I have a few questions:1. Is Fly II a more recent version of the program?2. Is there a patch available for Fly 2K3. How can I install a Bell 407 helicopter into Fly 2K?4. Which program is considered a better flight sim?5. How do you install third part aircraft into Fly 2K?6. Can you install Fly II aircraft into Fly 2K?7. Is Fly ii program still available for purchase?Thanks in advance for your consideration. I have been an avid Microsoft Flight Simer but Fly has a lot of potential.

I'll post it soon.Pete

Hello chaps :-waveJust a quick question...When you download a scenery package and it says may require a render ini tweek,does this mean you add the lines shown or change the values you have?Many thanks for your helpSee ya :-waveStevie :-bat'The best aid to navigation is having been there before' For FREE Website Traffic go here :-eekhttp://www.nomorehits.com/cgi-bin/start.cg...er=steviegeebeehttp://www.btinternet.com/~stephen_g_brown/steve.gif

Hi, I'm finishing my Swiss 737 but I have a problem with the tail, one side looks perfect and the other is a little weird like if it was using the left and right... here are screens to show you...Thanks for any helpcheers

Hi, Since I reinstalled fly, all my old problems disappeared. I just had a flight from LSGG to LFPG without fly crashing or anything. Only thing weird that happened with the 737 Easyjet is that on takeoff, after a certain speed the rudder didn't work, and my plane went sideways a little... Besides that this plane is fantastic, any panel in the works??cheers

This is my first time at flying the helicopter and boy do I need HELP!I am using the Wingman Extreme stick and if that is not the correct one then tell me what I should use. I was able to hover and move forward, but after turning the copter upside down I crashed. How should I set the buttons on the stick. I don't want to use the keyboard unless I have to.Any help, and I do mean any help, would be appreciated. A tutorial would be great.Thanks to all who respond.

Scott,I'v just loaded KLGA and KJFK and both are outstanding! I did see one small issue with KLGA. As you can see from the attatched screenie, my B737-500 by Girogio seem's a tad too big for the surrounding sceneary. Is it my particular setup? Otherwise, again, Outstanding!Pete

With Boston out of the way, I can finish revamping and consolidating my NY/NJ/CT airports. My goal is to have it ready by the 11th. If the people who use the current versions could post any ideas or problems to address, I would certainly try to accomodate whatever I could. Here is the list of airports:New YorkHPN (White Plains)ALB (Albany)SCH (Schenectady)POU (Poughkeepsie)SWF (Stewart INTL)MSV (Sullivan County INTL)ISP (Islip)FRG (Republic)HWV (Brookhaven)FOK (West Hampton)HTO (East Hampton)MTP (Montauk)New JerseyTEB (Teterboro)MMU (Morristown)CDW (Caldwell)N07 (Lincoln Park)4N1 (Greenwood Lake)ConnecticutBDL (Hartford Bradlee)HFD (Hartford Brainard)BDR (Bridgeport)HVN (…
