The FLY General Discussion Forum

Richard Harvey argued this point hard, but does anyone have any tricks for making flying in heavy scenery and yet not be plagued with disk access, which causes fps pauses? The video card shows very little activity in the 128 and 256 bit slot usage, yet the hard drive light keeps lighting. this is what tells me that it's not a render.ini issue, but simply how FLY2 accesses complex scenery that is not cached.tony

Hi folks,Some guys asked me for a template to make repaints for the ROTW-ATR 42 in a somewhat more repainter-friendly way.I did the initial painting of the ATR and I am going to prepare a real "ROTW_ATR42_PAINTKIT".( PSP format )Paint-kits are very common in Fs9 , but we have never seen them for FLYII! airplanes.So, there must always be a " first-time" and I think it`s time now.The "ROTW_ATR42_PAINTKIT" will be available shortly from the ROTW/Simvol website.RegardsLeen "Flybike" de Jager (ROTW-painter)

Hi All,I tried to search the forums to see the patching procedure for FLYII but did not find anything and I'm wondering if someone can help me out. I tried to look for patches in the file library and I was lost since there are so many version, build version this build version that. I'm installing Fly II from scratch. Can anyone point me to the right procedure?RegardsSpeck.

G'day all,I don't know if anyone remembers Danny Vickers. He was a very productive Fly! (1&2) simmer from a few years ago.Danny is currently a check captain on Lockheed P3 Orions (anti submarine/maritime surveilance) in the Australian Air Force.I have his files for modified Aussie airports/taxiways/nav aids and have received his permission to upload to the Avsim Library so over the comming weekend I'll dig around and get them uploaded.

Hello, would it be possible to increase the speed at which the knobs spin within the sim? I find that at the moment it takes a very long time to make a 180 degree change on any of the radio navigation instruments. I really like the speed that PMDG put into the 777's selectors. Is there a way to do this without a DLL? Maybe a simple PNL file hack or something is possible?ThanksCory Burke

I'm having some technical problems with my Linux server that hosts the Wiki, so it will likely be down at various times over the next week or so. I'll post a followup when things are working properly.Chris WallaceOttawa, Canada

Has anyone created the Stafford Regional Airport in northern Virginia? I have tried several times and have given up. I can get the runway down but never figured out how to get the ground flattened out correctly. I was wondering if anyone has it already done.It's a great airport, flown in and out of their a few times....http://www.airnav.com/airport/KRMN

Hi leen,check your e-mail just sent you the ATR dolomiti repaint for podding.thankschris_CA

Beralex and TJ have created Bedarieux, another small french mountain airport but this time, with a grass runway included in the 2D ground textures (no TRI grass runway).We think it's more realistic, and have the project to continue like that for other airports: what do you think of this idea?Have a look to the simvol page linked in the "headlines": : "a new kind of grass runway: Bedarieux (France)" and try it (don't forget to install the ground textures of Montpellier (headlines: "Montpellier area 2D scenery in photo-realistic textures").Remark: in the Montpellier Ground textures pack, there is an error in the "readme file". If you have installed "France_SE_SRTMv1.zip", r…

I've installed ATR and tried to fly it.The problem I'm facing is during takeoff. As soon I start rolling right engine starts making a lot of noises and stops. I can't start it again, only if I change aircraft.I've used auto startup.Does any one face this problem or knows where I got lost?Thanks for any help___ JJLobo ___55 11 37268158

Hi,ROTW continues the codification of the waypoints allowing VFR.We have now created more than 1.300 VFR waypoints, relative to :- the totality of France,- the totality of Denmark,- the totality of Italy and Malta- the main British airportsand a first series of German, Spanish (including Canary Islands), Sloven and Swiss airports !As you can see, we have followed up Wayne's creations for 3D airports, since Denmark and Canary Islands are located in our last release.I also strongly recommand a new visit to English sceneries, particularly Manchester-Liverpool and the London area: flying there is a real pleasure with VFR maps and waypoints. For instance, you can do heli-VFR f…

Hello All!!!Hope one of you who visits the forum on a regular basis can help me with a problem which has been bugging me since first getting our PC a couple of years ago now.Shortly after getting our new PC, like all good flight simmers, I installed "Fly!" Not long after that, I purchased and downloaded the Wilco Publishing 737 for "Fly!" (PC version, by the way.)I was a complete "newbie" at the time with installing add-ons, so I had some trouble with getting the aircraft to appear in the selection menu. Once I did it was worth the effort, as it was a nice aircraft to fly. Unfortunately, though this is about where I hit problems.Did'nt realise until after the Wilco 73…

Nice plane with nice handling characteristic, especially during takeoff.In landing,however, the flaps extension appears to have too great(and too sudden) of a lift relative to the yoke's ability to counter that force.Also, with full flaps, the plane simply does not want to descend unless the yoke is pushed all the way forward.The trim alone will not do the trick of keeping the nose down. I am interested to hear from others on this.In order to counter a very sensitive yaw and elevator, I've reduced the sensitivity settings of the joystick, in the joystick calibration options. These are preliminary tests and not conclusive. tony

The landing lights are not iluminating the floor and buildings. Does someone know why this hapens?I wouldn't like to reinstall it again___ JJLobo ___55 11 37268158

The new ATR42-500 has a wonderful photorealistic panel with all the buttons and switches and nav equipment to delight the most avid flightsimmer. But lacking any specifications or manuals or instructions or suggested links where to find information about the GPS, EFIS etc., what's a new pilot going to do ? I don't have any idea who manufctures the GPS, or the name of the model pictured. The aircraft is a tad quirky as regards throttle changes, landing with flaps is a challenge but I am intrigued. Any suggestions where I can get information about how to fly this lovely aircraft, which I envision as an Twin Otter on steroids. Thanks.

hi,Some minor modifications in the paint job and she's ready to roll out, can somebody send me a tutorial how to pod aircraft. thankschris_CAhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/117139.jpg
