Hi allThe implementation of LWM-Data is finished, only some testing and the readme to be done.For testing I use the original MFSF scenery data. BGL2SHP can extract and convert the roads, rivers, railways and lakes/coasts that come with the MSFS standard scenery and convert them into ESRI-shapefiles for Terrascene.Altitude (I recommend the free avaiable SRTM data) and landclassdata are not supported.Harald

G'day all,Well finally it's finished and uploaded.Ian Burton has done a heap of work helping to develop this aircraft. All data, photographs and beta testing was done by him. He actually did his first SOLO flight in the Grumman during the development of this model. Make sure you read the readme.txt file as this contains information relevent to the operation of the aircraft.Attached are just a couple of pics to give an idea of what the model looks like. enjoy.Off to make another model :-)Cheers,Roger

Hi allThe buildings for this two small Austrian airports - Gmunden (LOLU) and Scharnstein (LOLC) - I have converted with BGL2BIN from FS2004 freeware. I then added some of the generic trees and of my cars and aircrafts.I will upload the necessary DEX-Files, flattened TRN-Files and taxiways as soon as I have written a short readme-file. All you have to do is download the FS2004 scenery and convert it. This should be done in less than 30 minutes.Harald

is there an alternative or work-around using other sources now that the USGS data is no longer available for free for use in terrascene?I have terrascened almost all of california but lost all when something went wrong with my harddrive.chris_CA

Hello,A couple of days ago, I started installing some cockpits to all my air crafts. Everything was working great. Two days later, all my GPS' stopped working. Nothing pops up. Also, one of my cockpits gauges stopped working for no apparent reason (they were fantastic the first day.) I tried deleting all the files that I down loaded in the time frame, and it still doesn't work. Should I re-install flight sim or should I come about this problem another way? Thanks

Hi allI started to write a tool that converts MSFS2004 BGL-Files with VTP-data (streets, railways, powerlines, rivers) and LWM-data (watermasks for streams and lakes) to ESRI-shapefiles that can be used with terrascene.The VTP-Part is finished and I started to work on the LWM-part.To decide which BGL's to convert I recommend the freewaretool LWMViewer that draws a map-image of the contents of the BGL-Data.Harald

There's too much silence and lurking. I finally decided to get in the cockpit and do some flying....It's amazing how much pleasure FLY2 still provides....

Hi All,Sometimes whilst flying my elevator trim function goes to 100% up or down and it is not possible to correct the position with the L mouse click.Does anyone know why this happens and how to correct it?Thanks,:-hmmm

Hi at all,I installed some Simvol scenery and all the demanded addtional add-ons in the right folders but still receive "unable to open airmat.bin".Anyone any idea which add-on is missing?Thanx

Hello fellow Fly!ers and real-world pilots.Its been 18 months since I achieved my ticket. I am about to begin my instrument training. Several of my pilot friends have recommended MS Flight Simulator as a good (and cheap) way to practice approaches and use the instruments. While this wouldn't qualify for PC simulator time under FAA rules, the practice is helpful regardless.As a long-time Fly! 2 flyer (I have a yoke and pedals as well), I'm planning to try our simulator before purchasing another. But one concern is the accuracy of the Fly!2 database, particularly given its relative age.Has anyone in the Fly! community taken out some approach plates and shot a few VOR approa…

As announced, the last DAFIF update on Simvol is the realy last. NIMA closed definitivley the DAFIF pages :( Just have a look at this file http://www.nga.mil/NGASiteContent/StaticFi...OCR/nga0517.pdfDidierROTW

G'Day All,Can anyone tell me how to modify the aircraft engine files so that when the carb heater is turned on the engine RPM falls and conversely when it is turned off the RPM increases?Cheers,:-hmmm

By this time if the link is still active it must be legit. PMDG just doesn't want even questions about it. I think the "upgrade" might be a patch that fixes the autobrakes etc... Support is one thing, but not even basic info about products for sale? Sounds worse than not selling at all.Opinions?:-beerchugFLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.

I was eager to write a review for the DVD, perhaps too eager. I caught some mistakes myself in "corrections", but are there more?Best Regards, Donny:-waveFLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.

Hi All :-wave Just been checking the new files on Avsim. Boy have you guys been busy. Congrats to all those who are pushing out some great freeware. When I get Fly 2 again I see Im in for a treat. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/134828.jpg Speak to you all soon, your friend Steve

FLYing? It's cool. Trillions of birds and insects can't be wrong.How many sales, and where? I am heading to "the lair" now.Long live the FLY Legacy

Hi, I need SRTM data, This link don

Hi!Take a look at this:http://www.sharewareorder.com/Precision-Ma...eloper-1968.htmApparently you can order PMDG's aircraft from SharewareOrder...I'll send a note to PMDG to find out if this is legitimate...http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/banneraa.jpg

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!I regret to say that FLY II has not been on my HD for months.The final blow was a database issue which ruined IFR and C4TO completely.Anyone else have all their ILS's skewed off???Ever teleport from France to USA with the DVD?Much as I hate to blame ROTW... I'm getting down to my last theory here.CAN it be duplicated? Solved? I hope,,, hope...Best Regards, Donny:-wave

Can somebody post a tutorial how to un-pod a/c panel? It's my break from school and have sometime to do some panel modifications.Thanks.chris_CA

Hi allI just uploaded 3 small commandline-utilities:BGL2BIN extracts MDL-Objects from BGL-Files and converts them into BIN-Models for FLYII.NOCRASH removes crashcode from BGL-Files.READBIN decodes BIN-Files.I hope you can use themHarald
