The FLY General Discussion Forum

Hi,Just uploaded the Beechcraft 1900D from Transtravel Airlines. A little dutch airline which has got a few of themfor the intressted guy's it can be downloaded via the AVSIM's Library! By :-wave

I've just cleared the Ansett 747-300 for departure to the AVSIM server. Should be available by tomorrow morning. I have Korean, South African,SwissAir and AtlasAir repaints to finish and upload.Pete

Hi, I have a couple of quick questions-Is their any regional jets/turboprops for Fly II like an EMB120 or CRJ700?2) I am getting some strange lights from the ground, they are several different rays all coming to a focus like a lighthouse. Is this a scenery error? What can be done to fix itThanks.Ric

Got it back after re-doing terrascene with the generic .pod @45% with texture enhancer.

I just received two messages with viral "care packages" attached. They were sent to the account that I use mainly for forum messaging and sim-related communications, so whoever "farmed" my address probably picked it up here at Avsim or another sim site.Luckily, my anti-virus software caught them immediately. One message was in Spanish, the other English. The virus was in attachments and the virus was the same type in each message: W32.Yaha.F@mmBe sure to update your virus signatures and be careful!Oh...One attachment was named "urfriend.scr" - the other was "DO ESTELIONATO E OUTRAS FRAUDES.doc.bat".

Hi,I have a problem with fly, its not running too slow, its running hyper FAST! I cannot slow it down and its REALLY annoying. I have checked distance compression but everything seems fine. I have the same problem in FS2002 as well. Everything runs at about 4times speed. For example, a 1hr20min flight took 20min, climb to 43000 ft took a little over 5min and the ATC messages are cut in half,ie I'll get half the message spoken before I get 'xx.xx did you copy?' Anyone got any ideas?AMD Athlon 1700XPGe Force 2MX400 64Mb graphics card256 Mb DDRAMWin 98Thanks Ric

could someone please send me the fly final patch files to [email protected]

A couple of atmospheric shots of the next upload. Probably this evening.Pete

I've just sent the file to the AVSIM server. Should be available later this evening or tomorrow morning.Pete

Got another joystick. A Logitech Wingman3d with twist rudder. It was either my few year old ms precision pro, or the 15 pin input on the sound card, or something that ties it all togeather. This one has a USB input, and seems to work well. No views changing on their own.Thanks for the ears!!! Time to get some flight time in finaly.

G'day all,I've finally got hold of some performance charts for the B747-300 series and there are 2 parameters mentioned that I am unfamiliar with.Vffr and VftcAny pilots in the forum have any knowledge on what these mean.ThanksCheers,Roger @YSSY

i am new to fly and while im flying or nearing landing the ATC tells me to Squawk 1200 what does this mean !!!

Here's the British Airways 747-300. Big differences of course are that Brit Air did not use the 300 series and the engines are not the Rolls Royce as on all of their aircraft.An advisory - all of the low detail model repaints for the B747-300 that I've done, have incorrectly applied textures to rudders and engines. You can see it as the model switches from high detail to low in flyby mode or when you back way off in view point. I'll correct the previously released repaints with new low detail models. They'll be seperate updates for all of the repaints of the 747-300 I've done so look for them in the next few weeks.Pete

Hi all,I was digging 'round the 'net when I discovered this interesting website called Aerofiles focusing on American aviation (see Aerofiles). They've got this enormous database with every manufacturer's product lines from somewhere around 10,000BC to the present. I found this interesting entry for the PA-19/PA-20 Pacer:PA-19, -20 Pacer 1950 (1A4) = PA-16 with 125hp Lycoming O-235 or O-290-D; span: 29'3" length: 20'5" load: 825# v: 125/112/50. Flaps, control wheel and other improvements. $3,298; POP: 1,119 PA-20 and 1 as PA-19. Original Clipper designation was changed because of objections from PAA, who claimed prior rights to the name. Transcontinental, non-stop lightpl…

I've a few modifications to make to this livery then I'll post it.Pete

http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID47Regards,

I was just wondering how processor-intense those planes are. I'm running a PII 400 and is relatively happy with my framerates (staying out of crowded areas of course), getting a 10-20 fps flying the 172.Would these planes run at an acceptable rate on my computer, or should I wait until I upgrade?John IvanENHD

Keep getting this error, its not related to a specific location, happends in different places, with different planes, i use default settings. Can't load texture OSPRAY.RAW: file not foundFile: Texture.ccpLine: 1375Always the same errorHELLP, HELP, HELPTrying to get away from FS2k2, help.Carlos

I haven't even touched the original Fly! for almost a year now. Only Fly!II. That is until this morning. Something inspired me to install it, and see what it looks like with my shiny new graphics card. All I can say is wow. It is a completely different sim now. At 4x FSAA I get over 30 fps at SFO, with all the "sliders" maxed out. This is WITH clouds as well. Enjoying this a LOT. I encourage all of you to take a look back at this sim, and give it another shot......You just might become addicted to it ;)

hidoes anyone know how you add aircraft to the game fly,i put a lear jet epd file in the aircraft flie and i got an error message saying access violation!!!

Due to my :-beerchug SOLO!!!!! :-beerchug, did it last night at about 750 pm at HAO by Cincinnati, Ohio and it was great! We did 3 t&g's he had me pull over, got out, said give me three, mumbled something about liability and closed the door, amazing how well that thing climbs with just me in there, coming down at approach speed really have to adjust for the balance difference that I've been use to having the dead weight in the right seat. After my big moment we just buzzed around a bit, went down over the Jimmy Buffett concert, nice summer evening, no wind, no clouds, really kewl night for flying.When I landed for the night I bounced and got an extra landing in, tol…

There was a comment from Marc St

.... and patched up to build 210. What advantage is there to patching up to build 230?Also, in the Setup splash screen, I enabled DX8 T&L; it recognized my video card (GEForce2 Ti); and I choose >32 mg video RAM. I started up at the default SanFran airport, but at sunset, there was no nice golden glow on my plane. (I enabled the "environmental mapping under Options). What did I miss? My next task will be to install the fixes and such for the various planes...... get my 3rd party planes reinstalled..... not to mention the TS sceneries that I've downloaded. Boy! will I be busy this weekend.-Lindy :-spacecraft
