The FLY General Discussion Forum

I am now officially a Private Pilot, Airplane Single Engine Land (PP-ASEL), although it really hasn't sunk in yet. The examiner said I was very well prepared for my oral and other than not having an after engine shutdown checklist, my checkride was excellant. I was soooooo relieved after studying and stressing all weekend. The weather forecast was looking iffy for today, but it turned out to be a beautiful day without a cloud in the sky. The wind was gusty and the air was bumpy though, making for some interesting landings. She didn't talk much except to issue commands, so that was nerve-racking too. She did tell me ahead of time that she would tell me right away if …

Ok, this week the question goes a bit different.In my best essay question style:Explain how the events of Sept 11, and those since, has changed you. What do you do differently? What do you feel differently? How has it made you evolve?-Brian

The B200 and Hawker both have "Half Bank Hold" buttons on the Auto-Pilot. What exactly is this supposed to do, and is it modeled in Fly!2?-DK----Fly! II v230Dell 8200 P4/1.8G, 512MB RAM, Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 v28.83, WinXP Home Edition.CH Pro Pedals and Yoke USB.

Hi,With so many add-ons for Fly! II (Biber models, Fly! editor, Terrascene, etc.), build scenarios are a real pleasure to make! :-jumpyNow we can see Augusto Severo Airport, Natal, Brazil in full glory almost ready for release (still waiting for the elevation tool to finish).This sim is taking a good shape, and my advice is: get a 757 from PMDG. This aircraft is suberb and runs much better than 777 (including performance).Can

I know I promised this last monday, but I needed to obtain permission from ROTW. Once that was given by Rene Binot, he and others of the ROTW team reviewed the paint scheme three times, even getting comment from two French military pilots from L'Escadrille l'Armee de Terre (EAAT), which flies this TBM 700. It has been very helpful and I have made all the modifications they suggested. As Rene said, now you understand why it takes so long to produce our aircraft. Hence the outstanding quality of ROTW's aircraft. Their meticulous attention to detail and accuracy is evident in their beautiful products.Of course, this goes especially for this EAAT version, afterall, it i…

Next Up.Pete

Hello, last week I posted a question regarding the feasability of adding a default NAV/GPS button to the TBM700. I believe the last response was that the panel guy from ROTW would be around next week (which should be this week). Any news regarding this? It would make cross country flights much nicer! Robert

With all the news lately about Afghanistan. I thought I would check out the scenery in that area. So where else would be a better place to start than in Kabul. Checked the maps out and decided to head towards the infamous Khyber Pass. This country looks like the lunar landscape in some areas. Its going on midnight here in Philadelphia and I have to work a half a day tomorrow. But I will post some screens shots of my little excursion tomorrow afternoon once I get home. No wonder it hasnt been such a walk in the park for the military over there. It was a task just getting the altitude to clear some of the mountain ranges along the way. Not sure if anyone will want to see th…

Hi!! After I install Fly2 and apply the first patch from 115 to 210 everything is fine but as soon as I update to the latest patch, my video card goes crazy. The graphics are all messed up and there's a lot of flickering on the screen. Anybody has the same issues? I have an ATI Radeon 7200.Thanks,Teo

I've moved my flight sim setup into an extra bedroom (room to expand) and was wondering .....Im now using headphones for FlyII.My sound card has surroundsound capabilities.Is the sound quality in FlyII good enough that I would notice any sort ofsensoral improvement if I went from headphones to a nicethree-speaker setup?Anybody out there use speakers rather than headphones?Thanks in advanceJohnW

Hi Everyone, Ive not posted for a while (been busy with work) so i thought I'd let you know what I'm upto. Ive attached a couple of Glare Panel Pics from my 737-500 Panel I started a while back. PIC 1: is of the Panel showing how thinks will look in working order and PIC 2: is showing you how it will look in sit-u. Ive just made a start on the Engine Gauges Panel and I'll post a shot once Ive completed this panel. Please let me know what you think and any comments or concerns you may have.JohnDC-10 ProjectB737-500 Project

Cant anyone point me int he direction of the autogen file???For FlyIIThanks...Johnw

Hi,As some of you are probably aware, Florida has several "gaps" when it comes to the government data that Terrascene uses to render scenery, one of which is a large area just north of Tampa. As a result, the only thing that renders are roads, coastlines, rivers/streams, and lakes. There is no differentiation with regards to land class types/textures, and the only texture is the background texture I chose in the options menu.Does anyone know of a way to work around this? I know someone once sugested shapefiles, which I know nothing about, although I'd be willing to learn. And if anyone had any other ideas I could try I'd also be very appreciative.Also, does anyone know wh…

I have just uploaded an ILS fix for Les Eplatures, Switzerland. LSGC is another of Danny Masson's Swiss Airport Series - it's not in the "hairy approach" category, but certainly requires care as it sits in a valley surrounded by hills. http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3ce7f8a0177f9d17.jpg Adjustments include addition of the glide slope, extension of the localizer range, and a DME reading of 0.0 NM at the displaced threshold. I have set the GS angle to the proper 3.5 degrees, though that angle will not become functional till a future beta release. In the meantime, the 3-degree default will still bring you safely in. http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3ce7f8…

While waiting for the new PaintKit from PMDG, I have finished up a few little projects. The first is ROTW's TBM 700 repainted in l'Escadrille Avions de l'Arm

The french site Simvol (and simvol/fly) is tranferring to another provider. During this transfert, we have closed the site.:-( When the site will be up, a post will advise you.Sorry for the desagrement.Ren

Here is the final repaint livery I plan on doing for the PMDG 757. I think there must be near a dozen or so waiting to be completed so I'll finish all of the previews before I undertake any new ones.Matt, here's a real rough cut on the Britannia Airways 757. Turned out pretty good for a quick and dirty. The final version will, of course, be up to PMDG standards.Took off from Heathrow planning to overfly London to take some screenshots, but I haven't the foggiest as to which direction to Fly!Pete

Iam unable to change the default water to that,as shown in the GIF image.Ihave changed the fly.ini--waterTilingDensity=2 and Search Pod files=0I am using a GeForce4 Ti4600 and Quincunx Antialiasing.Andy Dale suggests water tweaks.Do you just increase the value of the waterTilingDensity?Rodger.

This evening i uploaded my Fuerstenfeld Airfield scenery for Fly!II. Fuerstenfeld is a small airfield in the south-east of Austria near Graz.Harald

I have been using Fly2k on a Mac for quite some time and had purchased Fly 1.1 for windows when I found a copy in a discount bin. Is it possible to run Fly2k under windows xp, and if so besides updating with the final release patch, elevation patch and .88 sdk patch - what else need be done. Settings, int files????Thanks for all the help - DrJIM

Hi there,Good news! Some time ago I posted the following problem here:I always crashed landing at ships, the oilrig or addon helipads / buildings. (but not due to my flying skills :-)Today I tried it with a clean, but fully patched Fly2. No problem, I could land everywhere. So after painful hours of searching (just kidding :) I found something in the fly.ini:This setting is the reason: WheelDetectionMode=1If you set it to "0", then the heli crashes! So it has to be set to "1" like in the clean Fly2 installation. I don't know why it was changed to zero, I didn't!Since there was no reply to my problem (execpt others having the same)I don't know if anyone knew it and I post …
