The FLY General Discussion Forum
The General Discussion forum for the TRI series of FLY Simulators.
| 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! |

I can't seem to get the speed warning light for Flaps to extinguish. In this particular shot, I realize I am flying too fast for flaps. But the light is on on the ground, not moving, on approach, etc. Any tips? Also note the OBS indicator in the lower-left. Clearly off. A bug or am I setting something incorrectly?Thanks.-DK----David KohlFly! II v230Dell 8200 P4/1.8G, 1024MB RAM, Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 v28.83, WinXP Home Edition.CH Pro Pedals and Yoke USB.

Ihave just made a water mask for my new London scenery and when I previewed it on my work computer the water areas were a 'tastful' light blue. However back on my home computer I get a mid-gray.There are different video cards on each machine one, 32mb the other 64mb. I have not changed any water values in the 'ini'files although I have looked up previous posts regarding changing water transparency. Before I 'play that game' I thought I'd find out what others see as the water value.This is a screenshot (if I can attach it ok) of the home machines gray version.

Iwami is the scond airport in my Japanese airports series I'm working on. It's been uploaded at AVSIM and should be available for download soon.Iwami is a samll local airport with no taxiway and only one jetway. It's located in southern Shimane prefecture and faces the Sea of Japan. If you have my Hiroshima airport, you can now enjoy a short flight between RJOA and RJOW and take in the scenery from above.Enjoy!P.S. Will be away for a week. Going to Kobe to visit my in-laws.

I just bought Fly2 from Sam's Club for $8.99...couldn't resist at that price, unfortunately I have not been able to get it installed.The autorun screen pops up, then the initial setup box where it says it is setting up autoinstall..it then stops at 99%..nothing else happens...I've tried it 4 or 5 times...I can hear the CD accessing, but nothing else happens...I am currently copying the CD content to my hard drive to see if it works from there.Bad CD???Fly2 maybe doesn't work with XP ????

Hallo FlyII-UsersTo make my LOAN and LOGF scenery work with Helmut Mayers mesh scenery, you have to do following:With LOAN V1: nothingWith LOAN Update: Remove my D011166.POD, which contains my elevation data for LOAN.with LOGF: Remove my D011165.POD, which contains the elevation data and the scenery file. Add LOGFMESH.POD, which contains only the scenery file. It should be available at AVSIM this evening.I think, you don't have to alter any .SCF-File as he suggested.I use Helmuts mesh since it was beta an i really recommend it. On my System i created a directory flyIIsceneryaustria and copied his and my .SCF and .POD-Files in this directory and it works without problems.H…

Hello, I see some great shots coming from users of Fly!II, (I come FS2002) and I am of the opinion that Fly!II is better.

Unfortunately due to a HD crash 6 months ago I had more or less stopped following the flight sim community for a period of time. I just popped back in here in time to see Rich Harvey's comments about the status of Fly. The thread is locked now but I couldn't resist adding my $0.02. (In fact it's been so long I forgot my avsim login and had to make a new one just for this post :)IMHO, FlyII is the best thing to happen to PC flight simming, probably ever. I recognize the realities of the market (believe me, I have first hand experience :-) ), and I see that there is an unavoidable fate. Also, on some level I respect what MS has done with their sim - clearly it holds an…

Pascal... I think this might be an answer to your cloud question from the screen shot forum...I used the default Fly!II sky in those shots. To darken the clouds, I think (it has been a long time) I changed the scalar values in the fly.ini file... This is what I have now...lightScalarDusk=25lightScalarDawn=50lightScalarDay=100lightScalarNight=7Hope this works for you...Vinhttp://www.vinscimone.com/dancnkid.gif
