Hi all, looking to upgrade my videocard to a gf4 but see that visiontek is the only one that also has s-video in/out Does anyone know of a good price at any store?

Good morning all:While looking at my fly systems folder last evening, I happen to come across these two folders; rate.txt and videoerr.txt. Are these two files required? Can they be eliminated? Or is there something that I should take care of? The rate folder, I assume, provides information regarding average fps during my last flight?? Text in the videoerr.txt file, when opened reads" DrawIndexedPrimitive SVertex failed".Thank you in advance for any information or insight provided!!Curtis

I congratulate TJ known for his superb work at ROTW on his latest efforts to complete the RealAir Simulations Seneca Five N95D.TJ still has work to do to complete the panel/interior but this is going to be a cracking addition for Fly!2Peter

Dear Fly!iersI have already done around 25 taxiway from my country Venezuela and some Caribbean Islands like Aruba/Curacao/Trinidad Tobago/Guadeloupe Martinique/Dominican R. that I want to share with all of you.I just want to know if I have to send those taxiway to someone else before release them to the public.Also How to release them as a single file or pack all in one file, pls inform the best way according your experienceAwaiting advise.rgdsCesar

I tried to start up my Fly today, but got an error message: Stream corrupt. Cannot process next tag line. [file] File: streamio.cpp Line: 826This happened as I started up Fly after installing the new CH drivers. Now I haven't tried to reinstall Fly since I'm reluctant to go through the rather laborious process of reinstalling all the add-ons, so I'm hoping that someone might have an idea of what might be wrong.Thanks for your help.John IvanENHD

Below are the last few entries of my gtfo.txt file. Can anyone help? Thanks to Randall, the ATC goal stack error may be solved. Hardly ever did I receive a runtime error. Now I get a runtime error every time I use Fly!2. I have deleted all .hst and .sit files but without good results. I hope that a fly!2 reinstall will not be required!!!Msg: Push: ATC goal stack is fullFile: atcgoal.cpp line 423Time: Mon Jun 10 21:02:46 2002errno = 2 (No such file or directory)----------------------------------------------------------------Msg: Runtime execption code c0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) at address BFF7B992File: WINRUN.CPP line 165Time: Tue Jun 11 19:08:54 2002errno = 2 …

Good morning all!Last evening while flying to Tuscon, Arizona, my unit crashed to the desk top with this error message:Push ATC goal stack is fullfile: atcgoal.cppline: 423What does this mean? Why did it happen? Is there a fix? Am I missing a file? Is there an adjustment to be made to any of the .ini files??This is the first time I ever received this error message!! Any help or information would be greatly appriciated!! Thank you in advance!Curtis

Hi all. I just used ts2.1 with base fly!II textures to make some new scenery for a 60x110 nm (approx) area in Fly!2K -and i can't seem to fly it without a massive frame rate reduction - especially when level flying (like, if I fly nose down the frame rate is excellent, even if I am still high enough to be looking at 20 miles or so of terrain). I've tried rendering/slicing it twice - once with the 'one image per globe tile' option checked, expecting that smaller pieces would make it run better but, nope.And I get a really bad aliasing effect - it's always been pretty bad, say when looking at runways in the distance, but now all of the terrain from middle-distance out ge…

Hello Fly!ers,Today I changed my nVIDIA Video-Driver to Det. 29.42. Than I started Fly! II and it crashed. So I decided to make a fresh clean new install of Fly!. But the results were the same. The only way, I got Fly! Running, was to disable "High Detailed Textures". (Please see my pics with Error-message)Here are the pics with my settings and ERROR-screen:1.0) First setting, everything enabled1.1) ERROR Screen2.0) Using instead of DirectX 8 T&L only DirectX 82.1) Error Screen3.0) Disable "High Detailed Textures" - this worked, but it is not acceptable for me.Best Regards and safe flights!Holger (German Eagle) SchleenhainRuesselsheim (near EDDF):-wave GERMANY :-wave_…

Not always, but most of the times, when flying the 757, the computer freezes in the approach. It seems always when the a/p has locked on to the localizer, the plain is turning final and before the G/S is locked. Before the flight I remove the .hst file.I remember there where earlier posts on this subject. That person intented to throw Fly!II out of the window. I have no plans in that direction, but I must say that it is very frustrating (almost) never to be able to land after a trip. :-grr Can anybody help????

Hallo, I am trying to convert above named files from Roberto Vigetti to use with FlyII.Even by going step by step using the readme, I do not succeed.Conversion of jpg files to tga seem allright.Mooving the tga and txt to a c: folder also.What is meant by: indicate new address in *.txt "TGA Filename"attribute?Where does the scf file go?Mfg.

I seem to remember a way to start fly w/ out the dialog that shows buttons for the flight planner/etc. I just end up closing it every time anyway. Is it a fly.ini setting?Thanks!Dan

We had another successful multiplayer flight today, visiting airports including Lake Tahoe (TVL), Minden Tahoe (MEV), Carson City (CXP),Reno (RNO), Stead (4SD) and finally, Truckee Tahoe (TRK). Pilots included Wayne "SimPilot" and Robert "Helibird" Bell 407's, and Scott "NYC Flyer", Charlie, Fred,Todd and Michael in various fixed wing aircraft - ranging from a C172 to a Hawker jet!We communicated on the AVSIM Roger Wilco channel, and also by text chat.A good time was had by all, with some spectacular VFR flight seeing!Since not everyone had Terrascene scenery installed, we took an interesting group shot at Truckee Tahoe, with some folks slightly buried in the sand. :-)

The patch that updates fly2 from build 210 to build 230 corrects many small problems, but seems to create a new one - "bleeding" of model textures, for example, aircraft wheels through the body when gear is "up". This problem occurs with both aircraft and some scenery models.Has anybody had the same problem and worked out how to solve it? Is there a setting in fly.ins for example?Thanks for any helpBen

I'm having trouble with the PC-12 autopilot. It seems that it's having trouble capturing the altitude. After reaching the altitude the autopilot slow the climb to 500ft/m and it's supposed to level out. Is there a fix for this problem?Thanxpluto1168(kelvin)

On the EFIS display in the Socata,the LHS middle button(Nav Sensor Selector) is used to couple the GPS to the auto pilot.If you are running Windows XP,clicking this buttons gives you an instant exit.The No1 System Bearing Pointer Select.in bottom row,gives the same result.Is it possible to use another method to couple the GPS?Sticking pieces of tape on the screen to cover these buttons so I can't click them doesn't seem to work!!!(Just kidding)Rodger.

Guys,I just uploaded a new DLL to Avsim. Here is a description of the utility:The FlyStart DLL provides a simple way of defining and loading aircraft startup positions. You define aircraft startup locations by slewing to an airport location and pressing a defined keystroke. The DLL will save one startup location for every airport in Fly II. The aircraft orientation is saved in addition to the location. Saved startup positions are loaded by pressing another keystroke, which loads the startup position for the nearest airport. The FlyStart DLL installer will install the DLL and the user manual. The FlyStart DLL may be used with or without the FlyStart user interfac…
