Last of the 747-300's I had waiting to be completed. Later this afternoon.Pete

Hi all,I've just uploaded version 1.5 of the Advanced Checklist. It's got various minor bug fixes and some new checklists: TBM 700, Malibu Mirage, and King Air B200 (the latter two need some cleaning up, but they'll do for a start). New to this version is the ability to map keystrokes to some of the checklist functions: click the "Check" button, toggle the notes window, click the "Reset" button, and select the next checklist in the pop up menu. Having key assignments for these four functions really makes using the Checklist easier. However, I did not assign defaults for these functions, you'll have to manually set them up. In addition to these new key assignments, keystro…

Here are a few screenshots from the races Robert "Helibird" and I had today on Fly2 multiplayer at Stead Field in Reno! We raced our blue and red Bell 407's, and also in Stearmans. We took a break from the races, with a short flight to Reno Tahoe airport.Then, it was back to Stead for a few more trips around the pylons at night in our copters! There's nothing like flying around pylons at night at max speed in your '407 at 100 ft. altitude! :-)After a long exciting day, we packed up and headed home in our copters.We hope you join us for another race next weekend! I may add some additional courses to the scenery.Wayne"SimPilot"

Has anyone ever tried to organize an online fly-in? We see "the other guys" doing it all the time, what about us Fly2ers. Would anyone be interested in something like this? I enjoy the online thing. I haven't had any luck with SB and Fly's server is always empty. Any thoughts?-dajackman

My new scenery for the air race planned for 14:00 EDT today is now available in the AVSIM library, in the Fly2 Terramodels section!Wayne

Did a little trip today with the Fokker F28-4000 in some great great clouds :) This must be some of the best clouds avaiable!!

I have installed a Sony G420 CRT monitor and find the dials on the instrument panels are elliptical,not circular.I am running at 1024 x 768 and am not able to correct problem with the "Geometry" adjustments available in the monitor menu.Sony, (Australia) unable to help!!!!I thought a 19" monitor would be icing on the cake with a GeForce 4 Ti 4600Any suggestions would be appreciated.Rodger

I've just sent the World Cup Logo'd Korean Air 747-300 repaint to the AVSIM server. Look for it later today.Pete

Announcing the first virtual Fly2 multiplayer Reno Air Race! Robert "Helibird and I invite you to participate! We are planning multiple races for different types of aircraft, including both fixed wing and helicopters. I have designed a special TerraModels 2.2 add-on scenery for the occasion. This is an approximate layout of the Biplane and Formula One race course, with six pylons. It is based on an official map of the course. Also included is a large spectator area with a tower for the announcers! I just uploaded the scenery to the AVSIM library, so it should be available soon.This new Reno air race scenery is designed to complement and work with Dominique Klein's te…

I admit it - I'm addicted to TerraScene. However, to make my flight experience a bit more enjoyable near coastlines and borders with Canada/Mexico, I need to edit the TGA files to remove the base textures that get drawn where no DEM data exists.Can someone recommend a reasonbly priced program that can both edit TGA's and convert TGA's to/from JPG (so that I can import the TerraScene packs of other countries posted here on AVSIM)?I know JASC's PaintShopPro is right-on, but that's a $90 package. I wasn't thinking of spending quite that much.Thanks.-DK----David KohlFly! II v230Dell 8200 P4/1.8G, 512MB RAM, Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 v28.83, WinXP Home Edition.CH Pro Pedals and Yoke U…

I've just uploaded the completed Swissair 747-300 to the server. Should be available Saturday morning. I took these shots over Danny Mason's Swiss scenery, LSGG to be precise. Excellant work, Danny!Pete

I remember once being able to tune to 121.5 and turn the ELT on to hear the sound it broadcasts on 121.5 Now when I try it I get nothing.. Does anyone else hear the ELT? No bug deal just curious because I remember trying it once and it worked.. (another small, but neat feature in Fly! II) :)http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d1c043c384b6c33.jpgOh yeah if anyone is interested I posted some Fly! II screenshots a while back here.. http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/DCForumID8/9716.htmlJason

Hi everybody,I don't know how to use the GPS for the Hawker. I think it's in the boxes under the main panel (flight manager?) but I can only switch it on and off. I read the users guide forwrd and back again but can' find a description. Is there anywhere a helpfile?pilatus

I am using FLY2 and have updated to 230 updated my Gforce2 video drivers and directx 8. This is what I am seeing. Can anyone help

There was a variable in FLY!2k that would allow you to specify the amount of memory allocated to the replay buffer (SETBLACKBOXMEMORY or something like that). It was set in the FLY.ini file. Does that variable exist for Fly!II - and does anyone out there know what it is?Thanks.-michael

Gentlemen and Ladies:My FLY!II has been working very well for a long, long time.However, I am trying to install Grand Canyon TerraScene Creationby David Kohl and I find that I now need a file FLYEDIT.EXEwhich I didnt need until now.Can anyone tell me where I can find this file?Thank [email protected]

We Fly2 users are truly lucky to have the ROTW team gving us such wonderful aircraft like the TBM700.I thought I would download the PA19 to see what it was like.It took a little effort because the file at AVSIM (approx 4.7MB) has a readme in what looks like a MAC format, so there are lots of black boxes when reading it with notepad - no big deal.Where those extra bits did cause my PC trouble was the camera.txt file. After installation Fly2 wouldn't start and gave me a WinRun error.After a bit of thought I checked the camera.txt file, saw the black blocks again so I changed each block to an enter key stroke, saved the file, then everything went as expected.If you don't hav…

Can anyone shed some light on why this happens, and a solution? For me it only occurs at KSJC and KRNO, the TM airport addons. In this instance at KSJC. I do not have this problem with any other Terramodels airports.Grant

For those of you enjoying Jim Donlin's Shannon airport package, you may have noticed that the ILS approaches for the opposing Rwys 06 and 24 are non-functional. Occasionally Fly! cannot handle opposing runways that share the same frequency for their approaches. Shannon is one of the worst of these - each side basically knocks the other out and you get a reverse signal (back course) and no glide slope. Sometimes these actually work (KCMH, Columbus, Ohio) - sometimes they are correctable (LGAV by PMDG - Athens, Greece).Shannon refused to cooperate, so I have changed the localizer frequency for Rwy 06 by .05 MHz. This will give you full functioning approaches for both ends. …

"Elrond Sorry but the content of the message and the links are outside the limits for AVSIM. On top of which the link is to a sales site for the product."Well I found the post in question earlier and was meaning to reply but time got the best of me. Now I see that it's been removed but I did want to thank Elrond for the kind words. Thank you Elrond. :)Ahhh well. I guess that means I the "flight attendant" version we were working on will have to be put on hiatus, lol. :-lolJust so it's clear, I do respect the moderator's decisions to remove posts, but I wanted to thank Elrond for the nice comments. :)Jak Fearonhow in the world?http://www.howintheworld.comhttp://www.howi…

I wanted to show you the detail on this scenery so I've selected a portion of the image to post.Pete
