The FLY General Discussion Forum

http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID47 I hope you enjoy these cloud shots taken from N95D. TJ from ROTW is helping to complete the aircraft for fly!2 and is well on his way with the panel.Here also is an early shot (Cant show you his latest yet :-)Peter

Can anyone tell me where I can find and download atc chatter files to use with Yakster, except the yakster files which I already have? Just to add more realism.Thanks.Ludovic P.

Received error cannot find marina... any ideas

I've started to notice that Fly 2 will freeze up on me when I press the C key to change views. Does anyone have a fix or know what to do?:-zhelp

Greetings,I've been away from this forum for a while and have a quick question. I'm getting a new PC and want to install Fly II on it. I know there have been quite a few patches and have this question: Do I have to install all the patches or is there one global one that will update it to its' latest level. If there is one large patch that'll do the trick, what is the name of it? Thank you very much.Sincerely,Hans [email protected]

Continuing the adjustments to the airports of Danny Masson's Swiss Airport series, fixes for the St. Gallen ILS/DME Rwy 10 are now available. Adjustments include localizer alignment, GS, and DME placement.In order to maintain proper clearance from the terrain, use the appropriate STAR. In this case, I am approaching St. Gallen from the West, using the Zurich East One Hotel Arrival. http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3cee77911e28845d.jpg The glide slope is moderately steep (4.0 degrees), but you will not experience that angle until a future beta patch. In the case of St. Gallen you will still maintain clearance using the GS - note that the ground isn't that far awa…

Attention Fly II helicopter pilots. Robert "Helibird" and I are planning a multiplayer session on Fly II at 13:00 hours EDT on Sunday (tomorrow) 5/26. We will be flying Bell 407's.For the most fun, install Scott's NYC, LGA and JFK scenery if you don't have it already! There are four heliports in Manhattan, one at JFK, and one at Floyd Bennett Field, in Brooklyn. We are planning a NYC aerial tour, with landings at each heliport.We will probably use Roger Wilco as well.Initial meeting at La Guardia Airport - KLGA.See you there!Wayne"SimPilot"

Anyone able to post a link for this file? All the links for this file in this forum don't work. ThanksDustin

Hi!It may be win2k pro or I may have installed the patches incorrectly, but VOR's that SHOULD provide DME do not. As an example MXE near Philadephia. Niether Nav1 or Nav2 will work.Also, the Meridian will not start unless the throttle is full open, then sputters for 4 or 5 minutes then RPM ramps up. I have not been able to figure out what is wrong. I followed the instructions (I think).... fresh install, upgrade to 210 then 230. Then start FlyII!Any ideas?Thanks in advance BobP :)

Recently after typing in the airport ID code and hitting select the screen will go black for a few seconds and then I will get the following error report and Fly II crashes. altitude2 path not found DataD200159goo.aL2 file globe.cpp line 1012The Data folder reference will be different according to the airport I am selecting. Does anyone have an explaination for this error and how I can correct it short of reloading fly 11. this does not come up all the time. it seems it effects only certain airport selections. everything else runs just great.Also in my data folder I must have hundreds of folders,is this a normal thing or not? I have a pretty good selection of airports …

This is a general question for those talented individuals who produce all of the wonderful aircraft for Fly!2. :-beerchug I really enjoy Fly!II. :-yellow1 But as I have read in many treads posted in this forum about obtaining or being able to experience as much reality as possible when using Fly!II, I have a question. :-hmmmIs there any reason for not showing or being able to see more of the nose section when looking out over the aircraft panel. In my opinion, seeing a portion of the nose section would make flying more realistic. Again, in my opinion, you would get a better sense of being able to judge distances while on approaches, landings, etc. :-) I know that there i…

Hello allI have a problem with FlyGraphics.After extractig the files from an aircraft pod-file toa DATAART polder with Podview , I try to open and see the tif fileswith FlyGraphicsV1.0When I select the tif file FlyGraphics freezes.I have to ctrl-alt-del to get the machine alive again.So I can`t see and convert these files.Only the tif files give this problem the others can be opened and converted without any problem.What do I do wrong?????GreetzLeen de JagerEHRD

I feel a plea to someone to give up there time is hypocritical when I myself have not the time to do it, and have only a repaint or two and a horrible a/c mod. to my name. I do, those feelings aside, feel a need for some one to develop adventures and other interesting python scripts, .dll's and interfaces.I look at some of the features the FS series (I dont use the FS series) have, flight tests, lessons, FSMaintainence etc. That could be (I went to say "just as easily") implemented into FLy!II. I dont think anybody should be forced to develop addons, nor addons of a particular type. However if you're considering getting into the freeware developig market for F!2 then, may…

Does anyone recall a world race flown with King 350's. It had a schedule for destinations by legs, to go around the world, I have one copy dated 9/99 that was downloaded from flightsim.com and wonder if any more were released by Fly.It was called "Fly Around the World." I tried most of the sim web sites looking for other editions but come up empty. So of course, my next move is to ask the Fly community.

Can anyone help me I just installed the Socata TBM 700 everything seem to go okay. After i start up FlyII and select aircraft I get this error message.Subsystem is not registered(Tbmf)file subsystm.cppLine 254you hit okay and the program shuts down.Any help is much appreciated Regards Dave

I am having trouble with the "turn head" function (CTRL plus arrow keys). When I hold down the CTRL key the yellow markers appear on each side of the screen, but when I hit the arrow keys nothing happens, *most* of the time.Sometimes it works and the view turns to look out the copilot window, etc. But most of the time it doesn't. The scrolling works ok, just moving the mouse to the edge of the screen.I have seen this in several of the built-in aircraft, as well as the PMDG 777.Does anyone have a clue what makes this work sometimes and not others?--Paul Dickson

Hi at all ,can anyone say me when Precisionmanuals will release the patch forthe Boeing B777 ?I`ve asked in the "PMDG"- forum several times , but got no answer.And I`ve a second question ; Is that true that above FL350 -" no winds blowing ":-grr Or do I something terrible wrong?regards , Mike

Can all the controls of the B757-200 be programmed via keyboard?Can it be used for it Flyscripts?.GreetingsIsrael Abril

We went to Lunken (KLUK) for some T&G's and class D op's yesterday after some manuvers and actually experienced first hand an ASRS report I read a few days ago. Tower called "3LK your second in line behind the Cherokee on 3 mile final, advise traffic in site". Brian (my CFII) and I both looked about where we thought the Cherokee should be, there was a dot, must be the Cherokee..."3LK traffic in site". About 15 seconds later Brian looks down off the right main, (we were in a right hand pattern for 21R) about 200 feet below and there's the Cherokee, turns out our dot was a Citation for 21L, real pretty shiny one too. I asked him if he had seen the Cherokee and was j…

HelloThis weekend I implemented the french airports in my Fly2.Those french guys made very nice airports.Thanks for that.Only Cannes gives a problem.The light grey parts of the platform and the black tarmac roadsbehind the buildings are not constant visible.The are just flickering (partly).I enclose a picture of the event.Is there anyone ( maybe one of the ROTW group ) who knows the solutionfor this problem.GreetingsLeen de JagerEHRD

Hi Rene,Please check your e-mail :-)Thanks,Matthew.

I've been working the paintkit, converting it over to a format I'am more comfortable with. I've just about finished with the master livery and once I've nailed down the main gear doors, I'll start working on the release version of the repaints. Night textures are still not fully implemented as Robert is in the process of putting the finishing touches to that part of the kit. I'am posting a few screenshots of the master livery. I've gotten the opening door to match the outline on the fuse and I've put myself into the 1st officers chair. I'll probably include a better picture of myself in the release version. My 5 minutes of fame :-kewl Pete

Lugano is another portion of Danny Masson's excellent Swiss Airport series. I've reset the glide slope to the correct angle (more on that in a moment), extended the localizer range and moved the DME transmitter to give a correct readout.Though these mountains certainly are more gentle than those around Sion, look out! They're big enough, and you'll notice that all of the Lugano Arrivals keep you away from the west where the big boys are! http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3cec69213c3e9e69.jpg This approach calls for a steep angle (6.65 degrees!) I've reset the glide slope to match, BUT...you'll have to wait for a future beta patch to use it! Ignore it for now, and…

Hello everybody;this is my first post, so first of all let me say "well done" do Ken for his idea of banning "FS religion wars"; I guess nobody will complain and probably many of us use more than one FS, squeezing the best out of each one!Now the real "problem" : I d/l Tony Crider's Adv. Checklist (I'd like to join the community in thanking him) but I'm left with envy for people who appreciated this utility : In fact, I get a window saying that no airplane was selected, and when trying to open the .xml, nothing happens.I supposed to have to rename checklist.xml to FlyHawk.xml (in fact, this last file was not in the .zip), but, beside seeing the proper name in the popup wi…
