The FLY General Discussion Forum

Almost done with the my first version 2 737-500 repaint. Just some rudder/aft cheat lines to adjust and may be some weathering and she'll be finished. I won't be able to spend much time on this tomorrow, family obligations and all, so hopefully I can post it Sunday afternoon. Here are some screenshots.Pete

Once get airborne, how do you keep your aircraft level at a certain altitude with continuing to climb or descend. I can't seem to keep my airplane level. Can anyone offer any advice please feel free to do so. Thanks alot.

Hi all,I've uploaded WindsAloft.DLL version 1.0 for you guys to play with. I've also included the source for it so that you can tweak it if get some sick and twisted masochistic yearning. :-) A note about the functions ran1() and gasdev(). These are numerical functions that permit me to calculate a normal gaussian distribution. I use this distribution to create a wind change pattern that favors the current direction but can change fully 180 degrees. I would suggest that you not fiddle with those methods since they are rather highly optimized. If you care to know about these functions you can find them in Press, Teukolsky, Vetterling, & Flannery's Numerical Recipes, Se…

hey everyone! well, this time i have two questions in one post...ready? 1. the new converter by Terry Yingling doesnt want to recongize any of the PIC data that it was made to convert. (this is a PMDG converter that converts PIC FMC files in to files that the PMDG FMC can use)....anyone run into this before?2. i cannot get my darn taxi and wing lights to stop flashing while i am taxiing.....see my pic below to see what i mean. i think that it might be a video card issue, but i just wanted to see what someone else thought that i might be able to get it to stop. i have a G-Force 2 32Mb card. the problem occurs when i turn the taxi/wing lights on...the light is way too stron…

and the only way you are going to know what it is, is to attend the 2002 Conference and Exhibition (and it has to do with your favorite subject, er sim.).. :)

I couldnt sleep...I came downstairs...Opend a 6 pack...Opend my paint program (PhotoImpact5)...Emptied 2 cans...Did this...

I just reinstalled FlyII after buying a new Hard drive and it keeps crashing with this error."Can't Load texture Osprey.raw File not foundFile:Texture.cppLine: 1376"I followed the install FAQ here in the forum and didn't get any errors. So any ideas would be helpful.David G

AndyD, where did your website go?

Richard was talking about some other developer taking on the core of Fly! and using the six years hard work in bringing it to where its at.TRI have two choices. First to let the sim gather dust till its useless to anyone or second to sell it or "lease" it (ie take a commission on any future sales)I always felt Fly! could go forward a la X - PLANE with a small group developing it.I have no idea what the sale value of the core would be, but I am interested on what you would change or add to make a Fly!2 B rather than a Fly!3.A Fly! 2B would have to be different enough to warrant a re release under a new name.As a starter I could see a new scenery engine developed around dig…

Hi Pete, can you take a peek at the attached Pics of my 737 British Midlands Livery. Ive converted it over to Giorgios Version 2..........however I'm experiencing texture problems at the base of the engine, just wondered whether you've had the same problem.Ive checked everthing over and over but I can't see any bleed or reason for this transparency.Thanks for your guidance Pete.regards John

Anyone know what "FD" stands for?Thanks,Chris

I finally went up for another lesson in the air, 1st time in about 2 years! First time for me in a 172's left seat and I wasn't used to how heavy it is. It's been so long I felt like an idiot (oh yea! You HAVE to push the button on the mixture knob to push it in. NOW I remember! :-hah). It was bumpy and gusty up there today so I really had to fight the plane on my way down (not to mention the poor visibility. I got the visual to land at 4nm). And with a heavy plane like that, it was hard to keep her on approach with gust winds throwing me several curve balls. I'm a small guy so my left arm got a work out today. I think I'm more suited to fly in a 152.The landing was fine …

hey everyone! just got 777 from PMDG however now that i am trying to download it, i keep getting an error when i reach 44% of total down load. im not sure what to do since it will not finish. i just comes up and says that i have been disconected from the server. i have tried to download it wil both an accelerator (the one recomended on their web page) and with out one. i have e-mailed PMDG, but i havent got a response yet, so i thought that someone might be able to help me out here. i am using a dial-up connection, but it seems to go pretty well until 44%. i have tried this 4 times now (woking on the 5th). if anyone has ideas....please let me know. thanks!!!anthony

Anyone else having trouble getting INFOMETAR to work tonight?I keep getting an error message:"Can't find specified INFOMETAR file""Infometar did not find any potential metar reporting stations within the area of the specified route. You might want to try one or morechanges /additions to the ICAOs you have selected for the flight route"I get this message no matter what route I try to generate - including LAX to JFK! Sometimes I am told that the NOAA server might not be updating Metars at the present. Sometimes it says the server may be overloaded. Also, I can't get the FLY2 server to connect (AGAIN!)Anyone having these problems?Thanks,Chris Catalano

Can't seem to connect.Thanks,Chris Catalano

Since the multi-player function on flyII continues to be unavailable, is there another way to import a METAR file to use with fly2?Thanks,Chris Catalano

Captains!Summer sales aren't just for JC Penny and Gerrelson Ford any more! ;-)I have just lowered the price of our FLY!II 757 dramatically- so for those who were waiting until "The Price is Right!" Now is the time!Robert S. RandazzoPrecision Manuals Development Group http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/coolcap.gifwww.precisionmanuals.com

This prob goes in a different fourm but I know a lot of you guys have your ppl. I know I need a refresher ground course. I would like to get my ppl but I dont have a lot of money what do you guys suggest?

Dearest,This evening, after dinner, I've modified my B737-500 V1.0 to V2.0.I've understood you don't like the mirrored rudder side on this plane.really, when I maked it I didn't think about a lot of Pete liveries.Anyway you have the modified version of this aircraft:- Double side mapped rudder. (are you satisfied Pete !!)- new gear up stores, without doors this time!! (thank you Johnny)- Fixed tail size and rudder positionI hope you like this version and wait better for the next release.Happy flights and Happy repaints Pete!!!! :-) :-)HugsGiorgio [email protected]

Hi you guys,Could anyone post piccies of EGNS Isle Of Man Airport, I need them for my new project.SteveMach 2 for fun!My Downloads Are:Liverpool EGGP John Lennon Airport UK.http://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DownloadID=17455EGNR Hawarden (Chester) Airport UK.http://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DownloadID=18370www.yourspaceormine.com http://www.btinternet.com/~stephen_g_brown/steve.jpg

I have noticed something in some of the aircraft that everyone has created. The new aircraft 737 md80 and such. I will not bother him because they are not finished. But some of the aircrafts view points are not right. I try this by looking out the side windows and lineing up with a line or something. In the 747 the cockpit is back by the wings. Is this a user fixable issue or does the aircraft designer have to fix it?
