The FLY General Discussion Forum
The General Discussion forum for the TRI series of FLY Simulators.
| Richard Harvey Lake Tahoe September, 2002 | This forum and all others related to the FLY series of flight simulator, are dedicated to the memory of Richard Harvey - the lead designer for Terminal Reality's Fly.
At the AVSIM FANCON of 2002, Richard and his wife, Tara, attended. Richard was presented with AVSIM's Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the flight simulation genre and his outstanding service and support of the FS community. Richard was a friend to many of us, and never hesitated to assist and inspire. Richard passed away the following March, 2003. He is sorely missed by his friends and those that were privileged to know him.
Richard in his last post to the forums said; "Try to stay away from things that are dark, dreary, introspective, tear jerkers, etc. Think HAPPY -- be HAPPY. If that is too much to ask, then I'll change the word HAPPY to POSITIVE. That's the flow of feeling I want rolling through my soul as I depart this earth from each of you, is absolute POSITIVE energy. Don't stall on me, I have to soar!"
Richard also passed this along to us in his last post; "******* Christ is my Lord and Savior. As my loving God and Lord has protected and guided me throughout my life, I pray he will do likewise for you and your family. May each of you achieve your dreams, and not be troubled by hardships. I pray for your good health. God will only give you as much load as you can bear, and never any more. Do not lose hope, nor certainly faith. Above all, do not fear evil, for though it surrounds us it can never hurt us. It may claim hollow victories, but it always suffers defeat."
We are proud to carry on Richard's undaunted support for his passion and his unstinting support of the user. Welcome to the Richard Harvey Memorial Fly Forums! |

I had an unopened copy of Fly! II and decided to install it on my new mac G5 (and installed the patch posted on line).It says there is supposed to be an aircraft "kodiak" (Piper Navajo) included, but it does not come up as an available aircraft nor do I find it in the "aircraft" folder.Is there I way I can locate or download this missing .POD file?

From one thread on AVSIM, it began... F2FDesign Group and our friends, the French design group, ROTW - are pleased to announce an agreement to work together on a joint effort for the enjoyment of the Fly! Community. We share the same goals - that of providing quality Freeware aircraft for Terminal Reality, Inc.'s Fly! II. From the above mentioned thread, a search was conducted to locate the design members for the Fly! II versions of the Gates Learjet and Piper Seneca V. After about one month, F2FDesign / ROTW are pleased to announce that we have secured the interests in these two projects, and will be bringing both aircraft to the Fly! II community in the near future. ROT…

Been really really busy lately and haven't been around much so...not knowing when I'll have time to finish it up I uploaded a beta version of the Katana a bit ago. There is nothing that keeps it from flying, side views still need some work, a few of the engine gauges need finished, the console view needs animated, the DG cannot be set manually right now but does work and a few other things. So enjoy it where it is now and soon as I can I'll finish it up.

Don't forget that the decision to upload a beta2 version was made with some fear that some of the qualities not yet implemented or tested in this model would become distractions for me. I am working on a beta 3. There's a sound bug( propeller slows down during the accelleration phase) and a weight distribution anomaly( notice the nosewheel), so these items are first on my list. But keep in mind that this is an incomplete model, and as such, there are many untested parts. Despite this, the reason to upload it was due to the fact that the plane behaves very nices and can provide a lot of fun while beta 3 is in the works. If anyone decides to improve anything, please feel f…

I have been a long time user of the whole Fly series so this is not a new user question. Recently my hard drive decided it had had enough and decided to end its long time relationship with me so I threw it out and found me a bigger and faster hard drive. Of course this newer drive demanded a completely new install of the OS to which I reluctantly agreed and in the long run I believe it was the correct thing to do. Everything was going along swimmingly until I tried to install Fly! II. For some reason the installer crashes out on me. It looks like the first part starts up fine but as soon as I flip the install toggle switch it jumps to the desk top and does nothing. If I b…

Hi guys :-wave Could someone inform me how I removed default models from Fly2.For example, Big Ben and the houses of Parliament, oh and the Palace.I have resized Big Ben to its correct hight of 316 ft and placed it were it should be. Tomorrow Im doing the parliament buildings and the Palace. But sadly the old models are still there. I thought it might be in the Cities pod, but I cant find the reference to them, only Heathrow :-fume Thankyou Steve.http://mysite.freeserve.com/ysomdesign/banner.jpg My Websitehttp://www.wrexhamspace.orghttp://www.cafeshops.com/wrexhamspace

Good news. It's rare that one pods a work in progress, and on the first try things work very nicely. Now I can concentrate on the documentation.I would like to remind everyone that this would not have been possible without the help and contribution of some many wonderful FLYers and former Flyers.tony

Tony, I was following your great tutorial on FLY2 default FMS and flight planner and I ran into a small snag. The waypoint "ARNES" is in my waypoint database, but not "SUPAI" nor the other two shown on the Paradise Four Arrival STAR chart, ("MITTS" & "IRESE"). I believe I have all the available updates to the stock FLY2 waypoint.pod but I obviously must be overlooking something.Can you or anyone inform me where to find additional waypoint data which would be complete or at least contain the above referenced waypoints?Thanks, Robert

First, I am an ex-FLY!er. I am currently helping Chris Wright (UK) develop a program to correct the horrible road and waterway placements in FS2004.The program takes the Terrascene TGA file and uses it to properly "draw" elements in FS2004. Does this by setting shorelines and roadways to single pixel width, single color so the new program can pick them out.The problem I am having is that some areas show double shorelines. The "other shoreline" does not exactly follow so it creates a real mess. I am using 1/4 tiles and adjacent 1/4 tiles work just fine. Have forced new DLG/USGS file download but no help. This particular tile (168/164/NE) has the doubling problem in only th…
