The FLY General Discussion Forum

i have an AMD 1700, 1gig mem, 80 gig h/d, geforce 2 mx400, 19" monitor, which its resolution is set to 1024 x 768. i've downloaded patch 230 for fly 2 and at the start up screen where the cessna is rotating, there is alot of lighting effect happening there. i do not know why or how. it never happen when i had the 210 patch loaded.... SUGGESTIONS ANYONE???

Ok, not really. I just uploaded the Corsair 747-317 to the AVSIM server. My first using the new system so I hope everything went all right. Look for it tomorrow morning?Pete

Does anyone remember how to correct the loss of scenery smoothing (perhaps mipmap) at lower altitudes flying the aurora? I remember a few posts some time ago but couldn't find.

What is this thing? It just started popping up when I press F12, which, until this morning, was mapped to be the transmit key for Roger Wilco. After 2 CTDs that I suspect may be related to this funky window...I remapped, but I'd like to know so I can go back to the way I had it.Any assistance would be appreciated!

Does anydody know if it's OK to do this?Is it just a straight replacement of a file or are there other implications?Probably noone else has tried this; but it doesn't hurt to ask. :-)ThanksBen

..... with a newly reformatted C:drive, a new MB and a new GEForce 2 Ti 64 mg video card. Of course, now comes the tedious task of reinstalling all my software. Thankfully I have most of my Fly!2 downloads stored on my D: drive (which was not reformatted) so I should have most of what I need.But please refresh my memory as to what order I should reinstall the updates/patches and such. The computer is currently running DX7.0 and I recall I'll have to upgrade to DX8 at least -- should I bite the bullet and install DX8.1?? I have the individual TRI patches (as opposed to one, all-inclusive patch), the video updates, and the global update.Gosh, then I need to get my ISP s…

I keep getting the problem where even when minimised to the background, keypresses still go to the SB window. So far, the only way I've found to get the keyboard back is to exit from SB and then reconnect. Rather inconvenient.Does anyone know why this happens and can I prevent it?Last night's flight in the 757 from EGPF to BIKF was pretty disasterous. Various exceptions caught in the FMC, the autothrottle locked on Mach hold and was trying to maintain M.81 at 5000ft after my descent :-) and I kept losing the keyboard. Eventually I lost the sim completely while still 20 miles from the airport.Andrew Luck18 miles SW EGSH

I just noticed that there is DFW airport in Fly!2, and no Dallas the city either. If that's not true and I should have it, please help.Lvstudentpilot

HI ALL JUST GOT UP AND RUNNING AGAIN WITH MY NEW MACHINE BUT DO HAVE A SMALL PROBLEM...IT LOOKS LIKE THE VIDEO CARD (GF4 4600) WILL NOT LET ME RECONIZE MY MONITOR AND WHAT I DID READ SAYS MAYBE I HAVE THE WRONG DRIVERS INSTALLED CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT DRIVERS WORK BEST WITH A INTEL 2.4 GWITH 512 MEM WITH VIEWSONIC PS790 MONITORALMOST THERE !!!!THANKS TONY

Just up-graded my system, and flushed to new Win98 install. Am patched to 230 with no errors. My views are changing on their own. I've seen post about this, and it did it when First installed Fly II awhile ago. I thought one of the patches took care of this and for the life of me can I remember a certain fix. It happens even if I don't associate the camera panning to my hat on my prescion pro. Will be flying and without touching the stick, the view will change..only in the cockpit. I've searched to no avail. Any Ideas??? Bad patch file??I did the usual delete .hst, .ini

After installing FLYII on my laptop, it occurred to me that it's been a while since I have seen ANY AI aircraft. Is there not a fly.ini entry to select the number of active AI aircraft? Or am I thinking of FLY2K? Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide!73'sN8TGC

Hi people ,In my Cessna 172 , have an other cockpit.It`s much smaller than theoriginal.I`ve no idea where I got this file.What have I to change that there is the original cokpit??????????I

Just got a copy of Fly2K at a local store,which is a jewel case version one (1) disk. It did install but the graphics are very poor, Can someone using Fly2K please let me know what patches and if any other files I need to download to get it running smoothly. I have Fly2 running and just want to get back to some of the great aircraft and scenery Fly2K has to offer. If anyone has a copy of Longbow 2 they want to get rid of let me know please.ThanksPhil

Hi everyone,I love the 707 (used to work on them) and so I am looking for REAL JT3D sounds. I do have startup and shutdown sounds but no real JT3D sounds from idle to take-off power and reverse thrust. All the sounds I have are either synthetically altered and/or from other engine types like the JT8D. I am looking for the original thing before those wonderful old engines completey disappear.Can anyone help?

If so, you are going to love our new upload system. Now, you have FULL CONTROL over your file desciption, its distrubtion rights, modifications or previous editions, your image uploads, and much more! Now you can present your file the way YOU want it to be presented. No need to rely on the interpretations of library managers or third parties. You get an email confirmation that your upload was successful, a CRC that let's you check file size to confirm your file was successfully sent, and an ID of that file that you can store away for future reference (for instance, if there is a problem with the file, you need to reference it in future uploads, and the like).The best news…

HiIs there anyone who has FLY!/FLY!2K (or not) who wants a copy of FLY!2 (copy- I mean original copy from store)? You'll just have to pay the postage. I am in the Vancouver B.C. area. If there is more then one person who wants it then we'll have a little competition..maybe ScreenShot competition. It's still in the box.Reply here or e-mail [email protected] careMike

I just wanted to let everyone know that CH has corrected the W2K and XP issues with the Virtual Pilot Pro. All I can say is I almost forgot what it was like to use this yoke to it's fullest capabilities. Not only that, it appears they have improved the calibration utility and now both my yoke and pedals work the way I would expect them to. I was just about ready to throw all of this out the window until this driver came out.

I am trying to create the pod for NYC ( daves models pack )but it gives me a response: That no information is available?how would i get that to show up in terramodels v2.2 Jeff Akins:-fume

Hi all,I've just uploaded Advanced Checklist v1.4. It is chock-full of improvements and stuff. Included are checklists for PMDG's 757 and 777, ROTW's Warrior II, and the Hawker 800XP. I've got ROTW's Socata TBM-700 in the works. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.Cheers, Tony

First, I'm a Mac FlyII user in a strange land.I'm trying to install FlyII on a Sony Viao PCV-J120 running Windows 2000 Professional Edition, with 256Mb RAM, 6.7Gb free disk space, and a Radeon 32Mb PCI video card.I restarted before installing and had no other applications running. I launched the installer and everything went fine until it died trying to install the file:d:program filesterminal realityfly!iiaircrafttri3.pod.The progress bar stops at the 19% mark, then after a long wait an error dialog appears saying:Fly!
