There is a thread in the screenshots forum for "best screenshot ever". There are no Fly! shots yet!Perhaps some great photographers could give Fly! I & II some exposure?

Just had to post some screenshots of Giorgio`s amazing aircraft, I put them in the screenshot forum so click the link before they get shoved by the "MSFS only" screenshot saturation appreciation club.They really are some of the most realistic models I have ever seen.http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID47Kind RegardsAndy

OK. I've been fussing with the tail and nose textures most of the day and I'am about done. I've one or two adjustments on the tail to make then I'll post her. Should be done by Tuesday.Pete

Hi,Earlier today I mentioned that I hoped Jarno and myself would upload the latest version of the Beech 1900D by the end of coming week. Well, I am happy to announce that it became the end of the day. :-jumpy At present we are uploading the file. We hope you will enjoy this little commuter plane with its great view from the cockpit.Cockpit views have been modified for 1024x768 and 800x600 resolution.Have fun!Henri

For those of you who have downloaded Jim Donlin's new Cleveland-Hopkins Intl. scenery, these updates will bring the runways and approaches up-to-date. I was not able to get rid of the offset for the Rwy 24L localizer (yet :-)), but it will put you "in the neighborhood". Everything else appears to be on the money.Homing in on the new Rwy 6R - the new 6R localizer will put you right on the centerline http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d3b11595001a5d2.jpg Taxiing in - Jim's done a great job on this scenery! http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d3b118b5061c5f6.jpg

I can't help but be thoroughly impressed with the liveries that people are churning out for the 727 - 777. Given all the liveries that are out there for the 727, is there anyone who would be interested in taking on a paint job for a re-creation of PSA (Pacific Southwest Airlines) and also the smile on the nose??? :-jumpyAnother one that would be very cool to have (and very retro) would be a repaint of the MD80 in AirCal colors (remember them???)Then there's Western airlines, both schemes (when they were their own airline, and after being bought by Delta).I think it would be a great homage to the airlines of yesteryear to let them live again, at least in electronic form.…

I noticed that of all the aircraft in Fly2k, the Hawker is the only aircraft that doesn't seem to report altitude at all when flying with VATSIM (or SATCO as it used to be called). I recall reading this had to do with the way the transponder was coded and was curious if anyone knew or had a fix for this. Robert

Here are a few pictures of my Beta V2 of Liverpool Airport. Beta V1 is available at www.flydevelopers.com, but the full version will be here at Avsim.SteveOOps just noticed the firestation is the wrong way round????

Dearest,This evening I uploaded my planes and I hope you will like them and you will enjoy with them. Don't wait very high performance, because you will have the visual model with all animations and lights ok, but the cockpits, the flight models and sounds are from the FlyII default planes.You must wait the next release of them to have a complete aircraft.Anyway this time you have:Boeing 737-500 Lufthansa AirOneMD82 American Airlines Scandinavian Airlines SAS Alitalia TeamCessna Citation X 750 private liveryWell, I wish you very happy flights and to h…

NEWS JUST INNew Aircraft departs from EGNR Hawarden UK (And I havent even finished the airport yet!!!)Pilot has too much fun and ordered back by control.Thankyou Giorgio for this great aircraft.SteveP.S. If you have any pictures of Hawarden, Chester UK could you please email them to me @[email protected] the bottom picture is the only one I can find of it....Thankyou.

Hi,Attached you will see a few screen shots of Jarno's Beech 1900D. During the last week we have worked on improving the cockpit views for this plane a bit. While the cockpit essentially still is a KingAir 200 cockpit, the views now are drastically different. Most important, the engines have been removed from the views, just like in reality. This allows for a great view of the environment. Also Bosco Leal's GPS addition has been incorporated, as well as A. Spellbinder's center post. The latter with some modifications: 1) some perspective was put in the picture (tapering of the post); 2) wind shield whipers were added.I took the liberty of adding/changing the rear views by…

Hi, Is there a way for Fly II to be run in window mode? :-)http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/edenw/FS_..._banner_je2.jpg

You got to get em..... Thanks again Giorgio...back to Fly!ing.

Since there is a texture needed to finish the Southwest 737, I thought I'd whip up a livery that doesn't need to have a reversed graphic on the rudder. I've always like this particular livery so I chose this one to do a little more exploring with the textures. The rudder unfortunately doesn't seem to be a stright texture placement, there needs to be some mis-alingnment necessary in the painting stage to get the surfaces to line-up. You can see the mis-alignment in the screenshot. Reminds me of painting PMDG 757/767 for Fly!2K.Anyway, it just crossed 11:00 pm PST and my wife has admonished me to quit for the night.Later,Pete

Giorgio, thank you for releasing these airplanes. They're fine additions to our fleet of heavies. Is it possible to get a modification to the model on the 737? As you can see on the attatched screenshot, we need a right side rudder texture. I've only played with this a little while so there may be additional request from me. Thanks again,Pete

Fly!ers,I've just uploaded my TM2 project, KCLE, Cleveland-Hopkins.Enjoy!

Hi all, This past week I took a trip to Colorado, on one leg of the return trip yesterday we flew in a 767. After the flight came to an end I asked the captain if I could look around the cockpit, he said sure and after a little bit of friendly chat I told him that I was working towards my PPL and he said in that case have a seat. So there I was sitting in the left seat of a 767 and I realised that I knew where everything was and what I needed to do to get this bird started and flying. Yes I know that it is more difficult than that, but still here I was in a big aircraft and I could make sense of it. Pretty cool! The only reason that I knew these systems was because of FLY…

FLY!ers,I've just uploaded my Atlanta-Hartsfield TM2/scenery project.Enjoy!

All this talk about keeping Fly! II alive has inspired me to create something for the community. I've created this new TBM 700 repaint that I hope to upload in the next few days. I should note that I've used (with permission) some of the textures from Grant's TBM repaint. I should mention that this is not an original design...its an existing paint scheme I found on the internet.Here are some pics:http://home.earthlink.net/~finsdad/FlyII/p...bmrepaint_1.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~finsdad/FlyII/p...bmrepaint_2.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~finsdad/FlyII/p...bmrepaint_3.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~finsdad/FlyII/p...bmrepaint_4.jpgHope you guys like it.

Hello to all.I missed this one.....been very busy. Thanks to the Authors...Roberto Vigetti, Cory Burke, Roger Mazengarb, and Jean Satier. She's wonderful.

When the wind is at 90 degrees, for example, does that mean winds are blowing from east to west or west to east? Basic question, but key to flying you would think.-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.

A few shots of Jim Dolin's KATL scenery. Framerates with the 727 was around 30. Nicely done, Jim.Shot 1 - Taxing around the airportShot 2 - Tower view on rotationShot 3 - Just about to cross the inner markerShot 4 - My very first landing near any runway center line!Need to take more shots of the airport itself.Go get it.Pete

Giorgio,I've just finished the Alitalia 747-300 repaint you requested and sent it off to the AVSIM server. Should be avaialble tomorrow morning.Can't wait to get my hands on the B737-500 and MD-82!Pete :-xxrotflmao

Hello everybody,Quick question regarding the PA-161 released by ROTW.I am doing the IFR rating on a similar plane in real life, and find the combination of FLYII/ROTW most useful.Using FLYII, and in comparison with other aircrafts, the RTOW warrior seems extremely sensitive to control inputs (pitch, bank and flaps deployment, for example). I have set all 3 exponential sliders to 100%. Any special settings/tweaks required for this plane ?If this has already been extensively discussed in the past, I apologize. Thank you for any inputs.Here are my computer/soft/settings specs:AMD-TBIRD 900Mhz512Mb RAMGeForce 2-32MBCh-Products yoke and pedals.FlyII new install, patched to 23…
