Hi All Fly enthusiasts, Wishing you all a happy New Year. Ian

I just reinstalled FLY II and the ROTW DVD. I am surprised how much I am enjoying revisiting this old friend. However, every once in a while I get a fatal error... here are the diagnostics. Msg: Fatal error caused by .DLL "system\modules\pc\pydll.dll" in DLLIdle routine. File: Dllman.cpp line 1619 Time: Fri Nov 21 17:09:06 2014 errno = 2 (No such file or directory) Any advice? Thanx in advance Donald

To all in the Fly! Forum, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New year! Ken

A while back in Fly!'s development a feature was added to allow us to access scenery from other physical drives than what the Fly!II program was installed on. This was very important for me, as my scenery data is quite large (around 16 GB right now). Since I switched to Win7 a while back, this no longer appears to function. As I recall the setting in the fly.ini was: searchOtherDrives=1 There is also this line, which may be an old parameter: serchOtherDrives=0 I've tried every variation of these 2 settings with no success. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Might it be a "compatibility files" problem?

Hello fellow Fly!ers, Been very quiet here, but thought I would let you know that the english version of volEdit by Didier Rigault (ROTW) is now back in the library under development category. Didier was kind enough to provide me permission to upload the file, and any others that might be missing and not available on the ROTW site. So, if there is something Didier provided but is not here, let me know - if I have it I will post it back to the library. Cheers!

Was going through some of the library files on TerraScene area many of us had done and of course was reacquainted with Randall Rocke's efforts to supply new shapefiles from the 2000 Tiger census info. So checked out my old link and redirected to the Census website for Tiger shapefiles. Low and behold - there is new 2013 files available! Soooo... am thinking while I am unable to work I may redo my Atlanta, Kings Bay sceneries (areas I frequent most right now) and maybe restart my Oklahoma and Puget Sound efforts with the updated roads, rails, etc. All I have to do now is get to my files so I can re-read Randall's instructions on the use of the shapefiles! LOL Hopefull…

Hello Flyers! I'm sorry I've been away for so long (career issues). I see things are fairly quiet - I hope someone can point me in the right direction. After installation of a TM airport scenery set for Spain, I now get an error message that dumps Fly!II. This is the old C3d Model Load failure I used to get with some sceneries when a model pack was missing. The missing item is TR-FR30.SMF. Anybody recofnize this file? Is there a model set I can download that contains it? Many thanks!

Hi, I have a problem with the PC 12 on FLYII. I can't centre the trim indicators for aileron and rudder(both out to the left), yet the aircraft constantly banks to the right. Can anyone help?Andrew.

Hi all, Simvol.org says that the numerous Fly!1 add-ons / downloads mentioned on their site are available for download at avsim.com As I hard as I tried I could not locate anywhere in the Avsim libraries any of those files. Any ideas where I can get them from? Thanks in advance

To all fellow Fly!ers and Sim enthusiasts - Wishing all a wonderful and safe Holiday season and an even better 2014! Ken

It seems like only yesterday, yet nine years has passed since Rich was prematurely taken from this world.I hope time has helped ease the pain of the loss felt by the loved ones he left behind.Richard Harvey - a friend never to be forgotten

Season's Greetings to all Fly! friends! Wishing the very best for all of you in 2013! Ken

G'day Ken, Very important information please email or PM me. Roger Mazengarb

It has been a long time since I last tried my hand at modelling an aircraft.I think one of these might be a good subject to get started on.

Hello,I downloaded the three files for FLY2 sceneries(TM21_256, BIEBERALL.POD, STEVES MODELS) and I don't know where to put them.Need some help.Thanks,Thomas.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to this and this is my first post, yey! I've had this problem for some while now in Flight Unlimited 3 and it is quite annoying! When I land/touch down on the runway, after a few seconds of rolling, doing landing procedures the simulator shuts down coming up with a box saying "Flight Unlimited 3 has encountered a problem... Please tell Microsoft about this" etc. There are three options: DebugSend Error Report Don't SendI usually click on 'Don't Send' and it returns to the main screen of my settings. I usually open the simulator up again and carry on, until it shuts down on landing again! I have clicked on 'Send Error Report' and 'Debug' buttons bu…

Happy new year to all Flyers.I was in a shop the other day and saw a very nice (Saitek) Cessna trim wheel that matches their throttle quadrant in general style. Can anyone confirm that this will work with Fly II. In options/set up axes I notice that there is a trim funcion ( elevator - I pressume) so I'm inclined to think it might. I have their yoke, rudder pedals and throttle quadrants and they all work perfectly. TRI were really thinking when they allowed the user to assign different harware to the various aircraft axes. It is however a shame that they didn't allow for turboprop condition levers.I was surprised by the number of add-ons Saitek make, the sales person sai…

Hello everyone.Good to see that you guys are still working on this sim / extension. Still the smoothest sim in my arsenal.I want to thank you all for your effort and give you some feed back. See my System info below.I downloaded and installed FlyLegacy_Alpha_Installer_0.6.5.1.exe, without any problem and my FSX was Not affected by the mod / repair of the "Visual C++ Redistributables 2008" request, to which I answered "Yes"The Program started, the cockpit showed up, the plane settled to the runway with the typical high pitch sound / squeal, engine shut off, and then it started to update the Clouds and Scenery in a SLOW Motion action. For every action, like the movement of…

On behalf of the Fly.Simvol team, I have the huge pleasure to announce that after several years of development and hard work, the 1st public version of Fly! Legacy (0.3.3 alpha), the free and opensource flight simulator, is now available for download on Fly.Simvol (http://fly.simvol.org/indexus.php).This software has been mainly developed by Chris Wallace, Jean Sabatier, Laurent Claudet, Luc Lion, Didier Rigault, Frank Dhont (other perople also took part in this project) and it is currently in development stage (alpha version). The work was huge because the first step of the development consisted in reproducing a software which has the same behavior than the original simu…

Loooong, Double post.

Hi, Has anyone ever had any success at correcting the problem of dynamic acft taxiing with landing grear retracted? I find that on my install of Fly! II that is the norm, and then in flight, when the gear should retract, it partially extends. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, have you found a way to correct this? Cheers, Brian3cffts

G'day All, It's been many moons since I last posted but I have just reinstalled Fly II and patches up to 240 on a new computer.However on selecting some aircraft (the Hawker and Pilatus + others ) I get the CTD with the message " Invalid guage identifier ( ABSW )". Can anyone please identify what's my problem and how to cure it.As if one problem is not enough I also on startup sometimes get a CTD with the message " Subsystem not registered : SEFX ". Hope you can assist, thanks in advance.Cheers,Roger

I KenMy new email addresses are [email protected]@wanadoo.fr Just few quick answers to port old aircraft to FlyLegacy a) Most of work to do are in the panel area where gauge are defined differently (all file in data directory related to panel) FSC file for autopilot is replaced by PID filec) A new PHY file is needed for physical adjustmentd) Small addition here and there but very few Infortunatly we have not make a porting guide yet I suggest you read the FAQ and the few documents related to this subject (ne Gauges for instance) if not already done (if you dont have them, I or Laurent will send it to you following an email)Then start to study thos…

Hi, I installed Fly Legacy 0.4.0 and when I run,appears the first screen 2 seconds and no runs. Is it necessary to add any file? Thanks and regards the whole community Fly.Fonchy
