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! |

Reading the post below I will lay out our position with regards to Fly!2.When we released the highly acclaimed Decathlon/Citabria we were dissapointed with the total downloads.It became apparent that for every one download in Fly!2 we would get 6-10 times the downloads in FS2002.Larry is correct in the amount of work needed to complete an aircraft to the standards that we want to achieve.A commercial decision was taken to build for fs2002 and to abandon our projects for the Seneca and Lear 35A.At RealAirSimulations we are a tiny unit and there isnt the manpower to build for two platforms.I approached ROTW as they build to the quality that we want and TJ (Thomas Jullien) a…

When I dabbled with Python and wrote the script autoweather, I had a great time. Now I am thinking of writing a more ambitious script. I would call it 'Airline Pilot' and try to simulate basic parameters ala ATP by Sublogic of a long time ago. This program had structured career flights and, at the end, it graded the pilot according to a number of criteria. No guarantees. Just submit suggestions. My programming skills in this area are nil, although I can program microcontrollers, so I know the basic stuff.tony

It took 3 days but the Big Island of Hawaii was successfully uploaded early this morning. Many thanks to Matt Johnson and AVSIM for extending the "maximum execution time" for uploading a file so that the island could be uploaded. It is kind of a big file (167MB) but with all the layering I had to do in Photoshop it was necessary to keep all the pieces together. Here are a couple of screen shots but if you'd like to see a few more look for the thread from a couple of weeks ago called "The Big Island Revealed."Hope you enjoy.Don

Hi, everybody,Did i write it?LEARN PYTHON!!!!It's just complete object oriented language integrated with Fly!!!!I'm so surprised to read here and there that what make this simulation not as good as the other one (it seems no on dare to say its name...) is that you cannot see you house poping in when your flying 1000 feet above the ground!!! Who care? Is it about flying or about sightseeing?Whit today computer no matter if you have top end stuff with vertex shadder, GMX ordinal calculation, biFlatron with deflective neutrino, you just can't reproduce reality (even if the Andy scenery was so real....and yet unreleased), so dont care about the fancy. If you want to see fancy…

You have pretty much decided that FLY is no longer your sim for further development, but why not provide us with the wonderful c4to as open source? I am just curious as to your reason.tony

Hi all,I like too much Fly!II, but since I tried MSFS2002, I saw that Fly!II ATC is very poor compared to MSFS2002. Is it possible to make ATC in Fly!II like in MSFS2002 ?Is it possible to take control of the Dynamic scenery in Fly!II using python language ?Thanks allPaulo Moreira([email protected])

Well, I just tried again, and the TRI servers still seem to be down. I was wondering if anyone has had success in accessing them since earlier in the week? Has anyone checked with TRI support regarding the status of the servers? I hope the multiplayer servers have not been discontinued!Wayne"SimPilot"
