The FLY General Discussion Forum

Hi, everyone........Can someone please explain to me the difference between VNAV and LNAV and what they do on a Glare Panel (A/P). Also has anybody any idea what A/T stands for. (its on a stalk switch on a 737 A/P Panel).Thanks Guys for any infoJohn

Hi all, To anyone using the Advanced Checklist Editor, there is small bug...If you create a new Checklist Project, then add several Checklists. They will be saved in reverse order. The zorder value I use to order the checklists internally is not being set properly.Workaround: Create a new Project, add the Checklists (no need to enter any checkitems), save, close, and (re-)open the project. Use "Project|Organize Checklists..." to organize the checklists the way that you want them and proceed normally.I have a fix and will upload it with the PMDG 757 and PMDG 777 checklists when they are ready.Cheers, Tony

Naples is one of the more dangerous approaches - especially under inclement weather conditions. The real world GS is a little steeper. I have corrected it and will upload it in the future - for now, just be sure to follow the approach procedures. For the ILS/DME Rwy 24, don't descend below 7,000 ft until past BENTO intersection - then descend and intercept the GS. http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3cfc40366de574ec.jpg http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3cfc405c6e2049f6.jpg Going into Palermo is a beautiful experience. There are two ILS approaches over water: Rwys 20 & 25. I have corrected the DME readouts - these will function properly as long as you…

For those of you that haven't downloaded them, Roberto Vigetti has 2 nice packages: Italy Airports Vol.1 & 2. I was happy to find these - Italy is one of my favorite places! Vol.2 takes you from the top to the bottom of Italy: Torino, Pisa, Naples, & Palermo.Overall the ILS approaches were very useable, but there were a few errors. For now, I have uploaded updates for two airports: Torino & Palermo. Naples also needed correction for the glide slope angles - I will upload this when a future beta patch makes it useable.Starting with the northern airports:LIMF (Torino) is flanked by mountains to the north - needless to say, do not descend below the MSAs on the ap…

Hi again,It's has been tossed out that a working log book would be a nice addition to Fly! II. I'm starting the project now and am looking for requirements. If you have any wants or needs in this area, let me know and I'll do my best to work them into the design.Cheers, Tony

Hi all,Does anyone know if the beta team are considering adding the ability to add overruns to runways. Currently have displaced thresholds - there are plenty of runways out there though that have quite large overruns/underruns. These could be added via the taxiway program if modifying the database is too complex. Just a thought - currently added / amended 278 Australian airfields / runways complete with taxiways ;-) To be uploaded very soon ;-)Cheers,Danny VickersAustralian Fly! GroupTupolev Tu-154 Project

First off i apologize for posting this here but I wanted to let people know that we have a new beta test going on and the call has gone out for testers. The project is not related to flight simulation in any way but since I've worked with so many people here and a lot of you know me I hope it's all right to ask in this forum. :)If you're interested, please see this post at our forum: http://www.howintheworld.com/cgi-bin/YaBB/...3067524&start=0Thanks!Jak Fearonhow in the world?http://www.howintheworld.comhttp://www.howintheworld.com/hitw-images-misc/banner.jpg

What is the name of the program for Fly!2 that takes national raw METAR readings and "thins" the readings so that only those areas of the map along the flight plan have METAR loaded?Is this program in the AVSIM library? Upon searching for the word "METAR" under the Fly!2 heading, I only found "Autoweather".Thanks.-DK----Fly!

Hi,I was just wondering if anybody else noticed that the COM1 on the military version of the TBM700 by ROTW has a little problem. At least for me the decimals of the active frequency are modified when I put my cursor on the integers of the standby frequency. The standby frequency integers cannot be modified. This problem does not occur with the original TBM700.Feedback is appreciated. Thanks.Henri

I could have sworn I saw a post about this a while back, but have been unable to find it.I'm trying to run this new card with FSAA enabled.

Hi all,As you all probably know, version 1.3 is now available. This version has sound support. I, however, have a terrible speaking voice. :-) So, I didn't record anything for the Flyhawk's checklist. I'm hoping that some of you closet thespian's will take up the challenge and submit your customized checklists avec sound files. Over the coming week or two, I'll upload the checklists for the PMDG 757 and 777, the Socata TBM-700, the Citabria and Decathlon, and the Pilatus PC-XII, as well as a revised Flyhawk checklist (with emergency procedures). They won't have sound files associated with them, but should do for a start...Cheers, Tony

Hi Folks,Well, I fulfilled one of my dreams today. I got to take a flight in a WWII plane. My Host was Tom Buck, a local pilot who owns a TBM-Avenger and a SNJ-6 Trainer.I have hosted these on my own website. I took a total of 123 pictures. Don't know if I will upload them all or not. Each was 1280 x 960 in size and has been reduced to 800 x 600 for easy viewing. I wanted to keep them all together, so I apologize for posting 13 of them. We just don't get enough real world pics.Todays flight was in a 1945 North American SNJ-6. Which means it is 57 years old. It has a 600 Horsepower AN 1340 Wasp Engine. That is a lot of ponies. The color scheme is WWII United States Marine …

Ok, so what does this mean in Ebglish. When contacting Clearance for long flights they tell you FL330. How do you tell at what flight level you are (or what is this in altitude)?Thanks----

Just saw that this Fly! II addon by Tony Crider is placed in the FS2002 Miscellaneous category.Best regards,Henri

Seems to me that fly!II is harder to make add onsor does nobody have the time to make any addons.I know of some things that ROTW has on the aggenda,but it seems to me that msfs(sorry to mention) has files booming on avsim file library, Could some body please teach me how to use some kind of 3D design program,paint program, as i would like to help make fly! II better than the other sims,I JUST DONT WANT TO USE ANY OTHER SIM ON THE MARKET!!!!! THANKS FOR ANY FEEDBACK Jeff Akins

Hi! I keep getting a Streamio.cpp file error everytime I try to launch Fly! 2. Is there a solution to this?Thanks so much in advance,Teo

Very new to all this, but just wondering how do you import the EPD aircraft repaint file to Fly2 for use in game (e.g American Airlined 747SP) I have the original Qantas 747 as well (the requirment).I just extracted it to my /aircraft folder and it has an error if i try and use it.Do I need to convert it to POD somehow?

Hi all,Relevant Link here:http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID47Some have asked me to upload the rest of the pics. I cleaned out some old files and created a gallery for the pictures. There are two versions, Frames, and no frames. The no frames version will open a new window with the pic.I only had 10mb of space so these are all snapshot size for you to look at. I have also reduced the quality a little so they would fit. The originals are 1280 x 960.Let me know if you were able to view these or not.Thanks for the nice comments. I do appreciate them.Regards,Joe :-waveOnce you are on the page, just click on a picture and you will be shown a large…

Recently I uploaded scenery for KROC. In creating that scenery I used the Fly! II editor.Here is the breakdown using the Fly! editor:POD 3,597,560 bytes (3513 KB)ZIP 430,856 bytes (421 KB)I then used the Pod Creator by Didier Rigault that was recently uploaded to the library. Here is the breakdown using the Pod Creator:POD 288 bytes (0.28 KB)ZIP 514 bytes (0.50 KB)That is a tremendous saving of disk space and everything ran well on my computer. Will that be the case on all computers and that is my problem. If the Pod Creator can save that amount of disk space it would be foolish of me to upload a 421 KB file when I could do the same with a 0.50 KB file.I would welcome com…

Hello!!Someone refresh my memory on how to get FSAA working in Fly-2 please.I have a Geforce 3 64 meg card so I think I can do it...Thanks..Paul G.

Greetings all Fly 2 copter (and fixed wing) pilots! Robert "Helibird" and I invite you to participate in another multiplayer flight on the TRI server, starting at EWR, Newark Airport in NJ, on Sunday 6/2 at 1 PM EDT. We will be using Scott's EWR and NYC scenery. Robert and I will be starting out at EWR, but we are also planning a flight around Lake Tahoe the same day (to get familiar with the area for the AVSIM conference!)We will be using Roger Wilco for voice communications, on the AVSIM RW server, with IP 205.252.89.41. We will also be using Fly 2 text chat. Look for us on the MultiCom frequency, in multiplayer text chat.See you all there! I'll be in the black and …

Does anyone happen to have a PC-12 POH, or even just a checklist? I'd like to know the proper way of starting/shutdown, cruise/climb etc. Can anyone help me out? Something as simple as a txt file, or PDF would be fantastic.ThanksPieter

AllI have a problem with Jarno Deken

Sorry for the quality of the pictures, I made this shots with my Pen Camera (small and bad), Monday I try to made more with a best camera.This is a early shots of Fly2LAN in action, front view in my XP1800 19 " monitor and right view is a Pentium 3-500 15 " monitor.The panel is made with a Goflight system, 2 P8, 1 T8, 2 GF45 and LGT.Fly2LAN is a new DLL made by Luis Balarin that connect multiple views of Fly! II running in an LAN, the software is in Beta process.

Hello all,I've uploaded version 1.2 of my Advanced Checklist add-in. This version provides a Checklist Editor that makes it easy (at least I hope so) to edit checklist files. I've also enhanced the format of the XML files and included DTD files that will validate checklist files to make sure they conform to what Checklist.DLL expects and also to provide better error reporting. The new format provides for sound file and check item notes. However, Checklist.DLL presently ignores them (soon to be corrected as time allows).If anyone has any requests for additional features, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. :-beerchugCheers,TonyP.S.: If there are any projects, in…
