Fonchy,how is the scenery tutorial going?:-wave

Hi, I have just comeback from hollidays. I will go redoing my Italian scenery, I think in 5 weeks it

I have a new Dell Dimension 8300 PC with a 128 MB ATi RADEON 9800 PRO Graphics Card.The CRT Refresh Rate is 120 Hz. If I start Fly 2 the CRT Refresh Rate goes down from 120Hz to 60 Hz.What can I do, to get my normal CRT Refresh Rate from 120 Hz during the Fly 2 session?My Render.ini[Graphics]mipLevelCount=5vertexIndexFormat=0premultiplyColorAndAlpha=0allowAutoMipMapping=0directTextureFlag=0[Textures]maxTextures32=20maxTextures32_565=20maxTextures64=16maxTextures64_565=110maxTextures128=72maxTextures128_565=999maxTextures256=20maxTextures256_565=85maxTextures512=8maxTextures512_565=0maxTextures1024=2mipMapFlag=896[NonAGP]maxTextures256_565=0[AGP]maxTextures256_565=0Can …

Q1)When I start a flight after completing the flight planner and then acknowledging the Alert: 'If this is an IFR flight...'my flight planner checklist screen reappears and then the IFR Alert screen appears again. In other words both have to be mouse clicked twice. Is this normal?Q2) SFO and OAK are not in the list of airports for California in the Flight Planner. I have to manually enter SFO and OAK and then do the search. How can I enter SFO and OAK into the flight Planner list of airports for California? I presume other airports for other countries can also be entered eg France.Thanks for the answers,:-beerchug

Hi folks,Yesterday I found a very interesting camera.dll on the Simvol pages.It`s a new camera DLL , called MoveCamera V1.0.dll. (MovingCamera V10.zip by Laurent Claudet -ROTW)After installing the dll, we have a brand new experience in FLY.The camera , of wich position towards the airplane is adjustable, follows the plane.It`s completely different from the default Fly-by camera.(this Moving Camera does NOT replace the default fly-by camera, it`s extra)With the normal fly-by camera we see the plane in a fly-by wich repeats itselves after a few seconds.The Moving Camera follows the plane endlessly in it`s fly-by.From a fixed position the camera follows the plane flying-by ,…

G'day all,My better half and myself are off tomorrow on a holiday to the country of "miles of smiles" Fiji. I anticipate not being back until 20th. Aug.See you later!Cheers,Roger

Hi, I've been trying for days to get some of the small GA/Glider airfields (Vinon, Ales etc) from Simvol installed, but they just dont show up in the airport locator.I'm assuming they should appear under France?I have scoured the simvol site for clues and have installed everything mentioned in the readmes and on the Simvol essential files page.I've got terrains to work, and the PA-19 and 28, and the gliders...Any clues before I attempt to inflict my execrable french on the simvol forum?Cheers, Keith

The electra is ready for some taxi tests. I need a good airport, maybe a grass strip with some of Steve's models to create the 30' feeling. Perhaps the airport should be where Lockeed had its factory....:-)Tony

Are any of you Fly!ers attending the AVSIM conference in Denver this September? I live here in Denver and was thinking it might be fun for a few of us in this group to go flying together if anyone else will be out here. I have a 2004 Skyhawk SP that I keep at an airport in the Denver area (I've attached a photo). It might be fun to take a tour.I haven't done a lot of posting on the forum lately, but I've been an avid fan of Fly! from the beginning and in many ways this community has encouraged me in my efforts to get my pilot license. I'm now working on my instrument rating, and my instructor often speaks of how good my "touch" is when flying on instruments. I attrib…

Here is another model, a block of houses I have modelled for viewing while landing at Liverpool. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/83356.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/83357.jpgYou will be able to see them when taxing to the GA hold.They are Just like what I used to live in as a child. I took the design from Paul McCartneys old house nearby.I was wondering what is the norm for models of this size???Vertex count is 210, poly count 104. On my computer it has no effect on performance. So I realy need to know to get a better idea.Thankyou, Steve.My Websitehttp://www.wrexhamspace.orghttp://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ysomdesign/banner.jpg

HI, I have had a problem with my PC, the hard drive has broken in which I had FLY and all of my tools and data for creating scenery. I have also lost the Naples scenery.I will redo it but it will take some time because I have lost all of the data. Regards Fonchy

Hi, Fly II Spanish Forum is active again.http://www.14g.org/foro/viewforum.php?f=8Regards Fonchy

Hi Guys,I bought a new videocard (FX5900) and installed the last Nvidia drivers with Edimensional glasses (great experience, I can tell you! :9). For my surprise, landing lights are gone so I tried several setups and finally discovered that if I change the startup screen to Direct X8 with no T&L effects, they will back again. At least I think it's better lost some T&L effects than Fly! at night with no lights, don't you think? ;)Just a hint for all FX owners that would like to install new Nvidia drivers and don't want to lose Fly!'s II landing lights.PS: I lost aircraft shadows too. So I disabled shadows option on menu and got better performance.Hope it helps,Keyt…

Hi Everyone,Although I've still a lot to do, I thought I'd post a couple of pics so you can see how the panels coming along.One is parked at the gate and the other two are on approach. The aircraft its self has lots of new sounds, systems and graphics techniques (including a new night panel) anyhow I hope you like her.Thanks everyoneJohn

I have installed flyscripts v2.0 along with c4tov 2.0. All patches are in game 2.5.240 and no probs with game. I just get a message when trying to start c4 that there are no scripts in flyscript directory.I have read the readme and all documentation associated,but i still dont understand how u get a script to put in the directory.Does the game provide it or what?I dont understand any of this language.I do have a few quirks about the game,but I dont think they have anything to do with what is going on.I will describe them.I have not been able to make the stearman acft work,although it has a pic of it in the acft selection.I instlled the files,but it caused an error in star…

Hi,i woukd like to use my PFC Digital Throttle Quadrant with Fly!2k and/or Fly!2. Does anybody know where I can find the needed DLL and instructions?RegardsGerhard Stotzem

soon turn beautiful. What a trip! Less than a month ago I had no idea of how to build a 3d model, and now here's the first one. What a sense of accomplishment.

Hi Guys,I think this has been talked about before but I can't seem to find anything in the search forums.Is it possible to turn on the Runway lighting during the day?I'm pretty sure it used to be possible but this may have been in FLY2k!Many ThanksJohn

Hi Guys,Does anyone happen to know,...... how the decison height is set in most modern aircraft.Ideally where the knob/dial is most commonly located that sets this height.also I'm not sure if this is linked to the above question!!, but what exactly is the BUG reference associated with on the Altimeter (Not the Baro). Anyone know what this is for?Finally can someone please explain what the TRIM Failed annunciator means. When is it displayed and what failure does it notify you of.Any help would be grately appreciated.Cheers John
