The FLY General Discussion Forum

The General Discussion forum for the TRI series of FLY Simulators.

Dedication

RichardHarvey_sm.jpg

Richard Harvey

Lake Tahoe

September, 2002

This forum and all others related to the FLY series of flight simulator, are dedicated to the memory of Richard Harvey - the lead designer for Terminal Reality's Fly.

 

At the AVSIM FANCON of 2002, Richard and his wife, Tara, attended. Richard was presented with AVSIM's Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the flight simulation genre and his outstanding service and support of the FS community. Richard was a friend to many of us, and never hesitated to assist and inspire. Richard passed away the following March, 2003. He is sorely missed by his friends and those that were privileged to know him.

 

Richard in his last post to the forums said; "Try to stay away from things that are dark, dreary, introspective, tear jerkers, etc. Think HAPPY -- be HAPPY. If that is too much to ask, then I'll change the word HAPPY to POSITIVE. That's the flow of feeling I want rolling through my soul as I depart this earth from each of you, is absolute POSITIVE energy. Don't stall on me, I have to soar!"

 

Richard also passed this along to us in his last post; "******* Christ is my Lord and Savior. As my loving God and Lord has protected and guided me throughout my life, I pray he will do likewise for you and your family. May each of you achieve your dreams, and not be troubled by hardships. I pray for your good health. God will only give you as much load as you can bear, and never any more. Do not lose hope, nor certainly faith. Above all, do not fear evil, for though it surrounds us it can never hurt us. It may claim hollow victories, but it always suffers defeat."

 

We are proud to carry on Richard's undaunted support for his passion and his unstinting support of the user. Welcome to the Richard Harvey Memorial Fly Forums!

    I know that this probably has been asked by now but I can't seem to find out any references to it, so here goes..I have been using Fly 2k with the SKY, Ground Control, and C4TO add ons for some time now and love it. My question is this, if I go to Fly II will I have to add the same add ons that I have with Fly 2K? Is the secenry in Fly II much better than Fly 2k? What are the differences? Appreciate any help!Thanks,DickS

    Tell me what you think, These shots are all non edited, compressed jpgs.different sky.ini may have been used in different shots. Enjoynote: make sure you have your desktop set to 32 bit for best results. Shots are taken, around Larnaka airport in Cyprus, Switzerland, the early morning ones over NYC and another bunch on the way from Montreal to Charlevoix ( east) and finally a few over photoreal Las vegas terrain.http://littleitaly.fortunecity.com/cremona/190/

    OK this is a first for me - flying over France I got this message:Unable to open file: datad002167fulltex2.rawThis was followed by a crash to desktop. I do not have a d002167 directory, so I'm guessing this refers to some pod's info. Anyone have any ideas?

    The win98 joystick calibration box indicates that I have my yoke working properly. When I enter FLY or fs, the joystick is not recognized. The throttle works normally. In the axis set up window, I can move the throttle and the program will recognize the axis--but not the ailerons and elevators.I have reinstalled the drivers, the win98 control panel shows everything normal. Any ideas, short of a reinstallation? thanks.tony

    I have built several Global Titles using Terrascene 2.1 for FLY 2. The problem is that Fly 2, "sometimes" does NOT load my new scenery, but loads the generic Fly 2 scenery. It seems to very, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not (load new scenery). Any idea why this is happing? Is there something in the start up file that needs to be set or checked?Thanks,Jim B
