Not clear to me from the documentation what has changed in this newer file other than the addition of weather radar for the Hawker. Have there been any actual changes to the original centerpost graphics? Anyone shed some further light on this?Grant

I have the latest versions downloaded onto my machine. I have read a lot of treads concerning each. Most of the time, when downloading, the installation instructions will inform you that you must have the latest versions installed for whatever it is that you are downloading, (airports, scenes, etc.). How do they work? Other than having the latest version downloaded, is there something that we have to do? Or will the latest version update whatever scenery you are installing automatically? Does Texture Enhancer automatically enhance textures just by the virture of it being installed? Thank you for any comments.Curtis

Hi Everyone,Ive been thinking of ways we can ALL develop Fly's future and I'd like to run this idea by you to see if its practicle and possible.What if we create future developments based on more realism at actual specific points rather than lower quality/realism which have many variation.....let me TRY and explain!!My idea is to create development based on specific AIRPORTS and FLIGHT PLANS. If we take JFK for example this would consist of the following.1) Scenery resolution2) Air Traffic Control3) A1 Aircraft4) Building and FeaturesLets Start with 1) Scenery resolutionThis would consist of making tiled scenery just on the Flight Plan so instead of one person creat…

I'm wondering if any one can help me with a 3d modelling question. I do a lot of 3d models on the MAC professionally and use a piece of software called Strata StudioPro (high end modelling and rendering software). I don't know much about 3d Studio, but I know that that's the software everyone seems to be creating models for FLY!. I'm wondering if I was to the create models in my program and then save them in a format that could be read by 3d Studio would there be anyone out there interested in trying? I'd do something very simple first so that little time is wasted in case it doesn't work. I can save in the following formats - 3dmf, dxf, bmp, amapi, SHM 1.0 file, VRML 1.0…

I was flying multiplayer a few days ago, and happened across another aircraft, in the water just short of the runway at SFO. I landed to render assistance, but no response... But, it was an interesting screenshot, so I thought I'd post it.

Hello,VolEdit 1.13 is missing yet on avsim so so you can download it on simvol hereDidierhttp://www.simvol.org/fly/Logos/logodidier.jpg

I am getting really wierd perfformance with fly2 could anyone help?I have a 1.47ghz processor, 256Mb DDR RAM and a 64Mb graphics card (GeForce2 Mx400) yet I am only getting 13fps! The sim moves likea slide show. Even though in areas were it does run smoothly it gets rediculusly fast. ie. 0ft to 5000ft in about 5sec. The gear takes 2sec to extend-if you see what im getting at, everything runs at about 5x speed but yet I am getting 13fps.Can anyone help cus Im really confused!Thanks

Just enjoyed this view so much while flying last night, I had to share....-DK----Fly! II v230Dell 8200 P4/1.8G, 512MB RAM, Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 v28.83, WinXP Home Edition.CH Pro Pedals and Yoke USB.

Hey there - I just migrated to Windows 2000 and installed Fly!, patched it on up to 1.0.1.88 (SDK) and installed TS2.1, knocked out some SUPER-FINE looking scenery for Northern California (which looks just swell from within Flyedit1.06b4) - basically the identical setup I had running on a Windows 98 machine - but Fly! won't start... All I can think is that it's the OS - I get this message at the startup that reads:An internal error has occcured[show details]Stream corrupt. Cannot process next tag line (File).File: c:flightflightcorestreamio.cppLine: 821I'm baffled. Any clues, anyone?BillyI Wish RL Had a Slew Key

Hi folks,I am not ready yet, but things are going well.Just a few pic`s to keep you informed.The POD should be ready in a few weeks.Changing the french text inside takes a lot of timebut it is a nice job to do.GreetzLeen de JagerEHRD:-wave

I have been using Fly?Fly2K for some time and I am familiar with importing metarfiles in these programs and it works verywell. Since a few weeks I use FLY2 ( patched up to build 230 )but I can`t get the imported weather working as it should. After placing the metarfile in the metarfolder and importing this file in FLY2 it is possible to see that the weather has been imported .You can see the settings in the weather pull down windows.You can hear the correct ATIS for the area.You can see the clouds.BUT THERE IS NO RAIN,SNOW NOR WINDS ,and the metar filetells it should. Can you tell me what to do to get it working properly.Greetz Leen

Hi people ,I`ve a problem with my landing/taxights.Tehy are shining in a very big beam of light in the air.The lights are so intensive that I can see them from 100 of kilometresaway (lights from the traffic).I

Ever since PMDG came out with their beautiful Greek Airports package, I've been enjoying all of the beautiful airports and villages they've constructed throughout the Greek islands.One of the major airports they added was LGAV - Eleftherios Venizelos Airport near Athens. The major problem with this large airport is the ILS approaches never quite worked right (or at all). One of the major difficulties was that 2 approaches (opposite ends of the runway) also shared the same frequency, which in Fly! can cause difficulties at times. It appears that I've finally solved the puzzle and they are working. ILS/DME Rwys 03L & 21R are now working, 03R is repaired (was non-functio…

Can anyone please tell me where to D/L FS Navigator.....???

Hi All , I have a wee problem with the air brakes on the Peregrine 800 , I have assigned a button on my CH flight Yoke to activate the air brakes but all it will do is cancel the air brakes out when they are fully extended . Im wanting to set the button up so that when it is pressed the air brakes are depolyed and when my finger is taken off they are retracted . I have been able to do this once before but I'm unsure how I did it . I have coupled the air brakes with the wheel brakes and stiill I cant get it to work does this make sence to anyone and is there a way to do this ?? cheers V-SP.S. the button assignment is correct and I can see that when I push it the air brake'…

Just wondering if it's possible to alter the flyby view manually. I can't seem to alter the view - it always flies by on the left to the right, sometimes closer and sometimes further away.I would like to move the camera further/closer, up/down, etc.Is it possible?Thanks,Darryl

Just to let you guys know,I will be bowing out from the forums. I'm not sure when (if) I will return.So, a vacancy is open for the Moderator position in the Fly! Forum. The pay sucks, but locking threads makes up for it. ;-)If you are interested, let Scott or myself know. I will be peeking in every once in a while until the handoff is complete.I really enjoyed my time here and the relationships I have made.http://www.thesalters.org/images/Avsim_sig_KS.jpgOh, and don't pick on Larry too much.

Get ready for the upcoming AVSIM conference in September! Robert "Helibird", Scott "NYC Flyer", and I invite you to join in another multiplayer helicopter and airplane flight around the Lake Tahoe area, on the TRI server, starting at TWL, Lake Tahoe Airport, on Sunday 6/9 at 1 PM EDT. There are several excellent add-on scenery files for Fly 2 available in the AVSIM file library, such as the Terrascene scenery and airport models of the Lake Tahoe area by Dominique Klein, and Terramodels 2 airports by Chris Ward (see screenshots of me flying over TVL in Dominique's scenery, below).We will also be using Roger Wilco for voice communications, on the AVSIM RW server, with IP 2…

Hi, Im a little confused over the patches for Fly2.I have the European Version and it is already v.197(I have just reinstalled due to a problem) Could someone tell me which patch I need in the Avsim file library in order to use PMDG's 757? There are so many patches for the US version...I need v .230 but I only have .197 and its the European version.ThanksRic

Does anyone know if SIMVOL has an English WEB site?Thanks,Jim B
