Has anyone done any elevations for Alaska and surrounding area's? I see that the SRTM stuff can be imported into Fly!II now. Has anyone tried that yet? I would LOVE to have elevations for Alaska. At one time, I think I did a bunch of taxiways for Alaskan airports, but I'm not sure I have them anymore.I propose we try to turn Fly!II into a Bush sim.. :-)Think it can be done?Dondo

Is there anyway to have Fly!II remember your controller assignments (both keys and axis's). I use the Flight Sim Yoke USB 90% of the time, but I also have a MS FFB2 joystick that I like to use with other sims as well. I'll have my yoke all set up in Fly!II, unplug it, plug in the joystick, fly around in FS9/FU3 for a while, go back to Fly!II, plug the yoke back in and I have to reprogram everything again. Is there a file or something that I can save that will remember my controller assignments?Another question, is there a particular setting in my render.ini that would work any better then the default for my particular vid card?I have a GeForce 4 Ti4600 128 meg card.I'm…

Some photos of my project San Clemente, CA using Jak's new terrascene texture. Wayne, can you please add this airport in your projects. Hope to load this pod after some more tweaking with the scenery.I hope Jak will release a new set of SKY too.:-sun1 cheerschris_CAhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/104758.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/104759.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/104760.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/104761.jpg

Yes, I am one of those who had to reinstall FlyII. I did have backups and that has saved me a lot of work. Now I am having a problem with SquawkBox. Keep getting an error message concerning the DLL in the Modules/PC folder. I installed the 3.0 file first and while unZIPing the 3.10 file I get a lot of error messages. I then placed the DLL from the 3.11 file into the Modules/PC folder. What am I doing wrong.SquawkBox V 3.10 for Fly! 2SquawkBox V 3.11 for Fly! II (DLL update alone)SquawkBox v3.0 for Fly! II

G'day all,Tried again to fly on the Tri server but there was no way the digital gods were going to repeat themselves and allow any meaningful connection. 15 minutes was the longest connection I achieved from about half a dozen attempts. I did notice Steve flying out of KSFO.I also noticed that after a disconnection I could not re-connect without resetting the modem. This meant a reboot of the computer. I'm only using a very cheap internal card modem so i'm not sure about external modems.Is anyone on broadband getting better results??Cheers,Roger

These are a shot taken North of 7S3 (Stark's Twin Oaks Airport) showing the airfield that Randall Rocke and Wayne Roberts did earlier this year. This airport is one I fly out of and it wasn't included with FlyII.

HiI just uploaded Part 3 of my Austrian scenery which covers the area south-west of vienna (and north of my Styria NE sceneries).The good news: I stated drawing the shapefiles for the next part.enjoyHarald

I have just installed Fly2 on a computer running XP but the graphics is all over the place. The inside of the plane is perfect but the external scenery won't stop flickering. It is that bad you have trouble making out any detail at all. The graphics card is a Radeon 8500 128mb. Anyone got any idea how to fix the problem?

Well, on a whim last night, I reinstalled Fly!II, patched her up, installed some sceneries, added some planes and did a little Terrasceneing. I pretty much used Fly! and Fly!II exclusively until FS9 was brought onto the market. Built a brand new machine to run it and overall have been very pleased with it. (You gotta admit, it sure is purty at times ;) ) Anyway, I always check the Avsim Fly! forum on my daily check of flight sim news and, like I said earlier, I decided to reinstall Fly!II just for a change and to take a break from MSFS.I generally like to fly with a "story", so to speak. I'm a member of a couple different VA's and embarked on an "Around the World" tr…

Hi Fly!ers,I am afraid that ROTW is going definitly crazy ;)Our friend Fred38 is being building an altiport, the well known terrain in the high French Alps, l'Alpe d'Huez (people who are fond of "Le tour de France" certainly know this station) situated in the east of the city of Grenoble.The runway is very impressive, just have a look at the SIA documentshttp://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/aip...AD%202.LFHU.pdfYou can also consult this page at Fly.Simvol : http://fly.simvol.org/index.php?articles/p...fr/altiport.php (in French) which presents the work in progress. As you can see, our Pacha himself is not the last to make some very dangerous tests :-eek (some of us hav…

For those of you that own the PMDG Greek Airports package, I have just uploaded a new version of the ILS updates for LGAV to the file library. This version makes the corrections compatible with the popular DAFIF codes by Didier.Note: If you run a future DAFIF update, I would recommend running the LGAV2ILS.DEX again, as DAFIF would move some transmitters back to positions that would create interference in Fly!II.

While I keep trying to find an available copy of Fly2!, I also am trying to recall my last tests with that sim.I somehow remember that I was not very well impressed by the slipstream and torque effects in prop aircraft. I think I performed a few tests with thw P-51, and varying throttle didn't have any special effect over the turn&slip gaugue. I can't recall how realistic it is to fly the helos either. On a real helicopter pushing the collective abruptly will require quite an ammount of rudder to counteract it. The same is true when you increase collective. Another sitiuation where feet work is mandatory in real life is during an autorotation. For those of you curren…

Well my little play around is over. I have made a 12 minute movie showing some of my (47) repaints. Finishing of with a flight in Giorgio's Eurofighter Typhoon.

this is the embraer 145 with the modified panel. It has working upper panel gauges in the front panel, a different shading, and a few tweaks to the flight model. This is a great plane to fly online--fast and tricky if you don't watch you airspeed. If there's interest, let me know. I will figure out how to best upload the panel and plane. It might take me a few days.tony

G'day all,Thanks to the kind permission of Roberto Vigetti (original DC-9 panel designer)Any takers willing to test?Email me; [email protected] I'll email the pod/files back to you. (only about 1 Mb)I just want to make sure that I have all the necessary files podded.My art and dat folders are a complete mess :-)Cheers,Roger

G'day George,The Avisim server wouldn't allow me to upload any pics in my reply to your post so I've started a new thread.Thanks for the update re Nimitz. I have been looking for this for a while and had finally convinced myself that it was only in the original Fly! :-) Thankfully I was wrong.A new addition for the carrier.Cheers,Roger

For some reason the menu bar is in view all the time and doesnt respond to using the space bar anymore. Dont see it listed in the keys and buttons options. Anywhere else to look? Thks.
