The FLY General Discussion Forum

Our site Fly.Simvol will be unreachable this evening, Monday october 18th from about 21:00 to 23:00 (local French hour) i.e. 19:00 to 21:00 UTC.We are changing all the pages of the site to introduce a new way of coding (php instead of html).We apologize for the inconvenience.Cheers to all the Fly!ers :-)

Laurent kindly sent to me and Tony a test file, for the new Scen Gen.My Computer is a 1.8 cpu, 1 gig ram, and this is how it looks so far!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/94279.jpg http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/94282.jpg http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/94284.jpg Im working on more buildings tonight and over the next weeks so keep a lookout for more updates.SteveF2FDesign

I've used 64x64 tiles 16 bit and changed the 64-512 render ini line to 3000, since my 256 meg video card can handle it. Unfortunately, there seems to be a limit that is closely tied to the medium scenery setting. If this setting is above 7-10 miles, in external view FLY2 slows down unacceptably. Much of this problem is caused by the higher polycount of an external model, but unfortunately we cannot discount this when trying to get the right balance. Ata medium scenery setting of 10 and under, Autogen keeps things flowing very nicely. I will try using more models and see what things look like. I just wanted to warn some of you to keep an eye on you medium scenery settings…

In Fly II, is there any way to get rid of a very 'jagged' appearance of straight lines in the fore-ground ... such as runway edges when taxiing. At times what should be solid runway edge lines appear as a row of 'dashes'. My video card is an ASUS V9280 with 128mb on board RAM in a Pentium 2.4 Ghz with 512mb RAM.

I would like to thank those great and talented people at ROTW for creating the Seneca Five N95D.As you know I am the real world Pilot of this aircraft and it is amazing to see the aircraft alive in my PC :-)I can take very little credit for this creation as I have recently taken up a busy real world job flying a 2 year old Citation Bravo.This and my Seneca obligations have meant that I have had little time to spend advising ROTW.The Bravo has gone for maintenance so I should have a few weeks to spend enjoying the Fly! seneca.Again many thanks and I will be glad to answer any questions that anyone needs on flying this ship of the skiesPeter

Why can't we look at autogen and see if someone can add more features to it? I like the idea of populating the scenery as I fly.tony

Im doing a few versions of the Hangar and some Airport buildings from the period.

Hi, Leen. As you can see from the pic, the transparent windshield is not too attractive. I don't remember how to create an opaque look. Can you advice? thanks.tony

As in real life, taxiing in a taildragger is daunting. I've created a view that would be used exclusively for taxiing on the ground. Let me know what you think. The ground visibility can be increased by simply pressing the view key, and I thought the engine and part of the panel would add some perspective.tony

Currently, the SB key press is the same as the "new door" keypress. I lost a couple of passengers and my laptop while over the Sierras and didn't realize these keypresses are the same. ;-)tony

Your new Fly2 Heliport (Bell 407 version) is undergoing testing and will be delivered shortly. I hope you enjoy it, complete with fuel pump. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/93601.jpg http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/93602.jpg http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/93603.jpg http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/93604.jpg Im building a larger one for our Dauphin ;-) Steve My Websitehttp://www.wrexhamspace.orghttp://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ysomdesign/banner.jpg

Hey,I'm absolutely loving flying this beauty. Check out the screenshots over at http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/DC...mID8/46832.htmlIn all this excitement I haven't been able to locate the Nav switch to toggle between Nav1 and GPS for the HSI and autopilot. Manual doesn't list it either (unless I';m blind!).Anyone know where it is?Zane

Will a mac version which does not require the DLLs be made at some point? It's not a pressig need, but would be most a appreciated :-)I like green... and the GPS button, hay I like the whole F-GTFR. Just can't use it with a mac :-( I know ROTW has always been so acomidating to us mac users ( thanks guys;-) ) and if anyone has the time, it would be nice to have!Thanks once again!! :-wave

From the pics, you can see that there are small details, mostly having to do with 3d max and my learning as I go. I've worked some more on the panel, which will be standard FLY2 but with some modifications so that it creates the illusion of a unique panel. The flight model is getting better, and I spent a lot of time to make sure that when you fly it, you feel the weight of a vintage plane. Remember that it will be an alpha, but I think a decent alpha.tony

Hi Ken, and everyoneAs promised here is a pic of the 737-800 series Panel Ive just started. The interior graphics are almost complete so the next step is to get it into Fly and start work on the Pbg's.As you can see the picture attached is very low resolution and reduced due to the 125k upload limit. I'll post some 100% pics once I make a bit of progress.RegardsJohnhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/92624.jpg

You can find a Seneca V Check List in my site for download.Check http://jjlobo.sites.uol.com.brI hope you enjoy it. I have tested it completely and the Seneca flew very nice.JJLobo

at Simvol. Thanks everyone.tony

In file library is available the last fantastic work by Daniele Tona "ITALY 2004 Lake of Como extended"!This scenery is 4 time bigger than previous "Lake of Como", extended east and sud.Due big dimension, the scenery is separate in 2 files, part 1 and part 2, included all to have the final POD and SCF files, with a very easy and quick procedure ( many compliments Daniele again for this! ). The scenery include these AIRPORTS:BERGAMO - Orio al Serio LIMEMILANO - Linate LIMLMILANO - Bresso LIMBFantastic mountains, texture and roads!!!I live here and fly on these scenery is incredible real.In a few time will be available again a detailed MAP for this scenery and for Belluno -…

First off, I want to say once again I love this thing. Now I'm not sure if the TBM or the Seneca V is my favorite. Anyway, does anyone know where I can find the "V" speeds and other procedural information on this. I like to fly correctly and haven't been able to find any on the net that are not purchase check lists. I also would like to know what the approch speed should be. I have been playing around and an 80 knot approch has been working pretty well.Also, not sure if this is a bug or something I am doing wrong. If I take a short flight, land and shut her down, when I go to restart the engine start buttons don't work. If I load up another aircraft and switch back…

It's a very good new in the forum. I often fly Simvol planes and now there is another complete one. Unfortunately it didn't work on my environment and I have questions. In the installation instructions I found two files that doesn't exists in the package I have downloaded, AIRPVMAG.pod and rotw_flp.sit. I wonder if the problem I'm experiencing is related to these two files. Fly crashes even before it shows the configuration screen.Does any one can help me? ThanksJJLobo

It's simply amazing to see how Richard Harvey had it right. FLY2 has so much potential, and the SEneca and everyone who worked on it have proven it. The flight model, the feel, the graphics...., simply amazing.tony

Many thanks for all your hard work, to all the people who made this possible. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/93073.jpg SteveMy Websitehttp://www.wrexhamspace.orghttp://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ysomdesign/banner.jpg

I havent used used my FLY!II sim since sometime after the PMDG 777 add-on. I always loved the sim over MSFS, but its incomplete status left a sour taste in my mouth. Since then I've tried both MSFS 2002 and 2004 and found myself still disappointed in the flight models compared to FLY!II(my biggest gripe is the touch down model on MSFS...too easy and simplified).Well I've started flight school and Im finding myself wanting to get back into flight sims. I still have MSFS 2004, but Im still longing for my PMDG 777 add-on(MSFS add-ons are supposedly plagued by the codes easy/simplified landing and flight modeled still). Im curious to know if and how FLY!II as perhaps been…

Just been looking at the Simvol site.In the FlyII tips section a utility called AGPTOOL is mentioned along with a download link. Unfortunately the file is no longer there.Does anybody have it or knows much about it?Thanks,:-hmmm
