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!

    Near the recently oploaded Blackpool airport stands the Eifel tower (see pic). Is this a copy or what? The read-me file is not complete too. It does not state that the file Tmggp.scf should be placed in the Scenery folder. Moreover the read-me file states that the GNH.pod file should be placed in the scenery shared folder. IMHO that should be the Scenery folder (in which I made folders for every separate country).Not mentioned in the read-me file is that you need 3 model files. It is just mentioned in the AVSIM library. The name of the car file is carsfflyv1u.zip.Besides this, thank you Steve for the good work. Each additional European airport is a new pearl on the FLY! c…

    hello all! tried to fly on sb last night with roger wilco in the 777 from LAX to BOS. however i was disapointed that i could not connect to the voice server with rw. i tried to type the ip addy and the name of the server (ie. LAX_I_TWR) into the window that pops up with the rw .dll (f-12 key). however it informed me that it could not find the server, so i tried the dot command (ie. .rw). that too did not work. i was wondering what i was doing wrong. yes i was connected to sb and to the local tower freq. but could not connact them. also, i could not get TCAS to work in the 777....i had the transponder set to TA/RA, but nuthing showed up in the Nav Display. could anyone hel…

    To Richard Harvey, G.O.D. and the Fly! community,I'm sorry for not being informed about who takes care of the server so far... But I haven't been able to make any qualified guess either.I noticed that www.iflytri.com was down and when I tried to mail Richard Harvey at iflytri.com it also failed (and I still get mail from the delivery machine saying it has not been delivered yet). So it seems like it's TRI hosting it then. The funny fact is that I talked to a System Administrator of G.O.D. recently. That's what makes me a bit confused. Maybe iflytri.com is hosted by G.O.D.? I would like to be cleared up a bit on this topic.Today's flight, the first I have ever organized, t…
