The FLY General Discussion Forum

HiThis weekend I finished the night textures of my Ried Airfield scenery. The only thing left is to "POD" it and write the readme-file. Should be soon in the AVSIM library.Harald

I know this has been covered before but can't remember the solution.I am using Ch Pro Pedals and I have the brakes working ok in FS9. When I try to set them up and use them in Fly II the brakes are on at all times and can't be released. Can anyone tell me how to set them up in Fly II so that they will work normally? Thanks.Jim

Hi folks,At this time I do not have much opportunity to do repaint-work.I have some troubles with my right hand so paintig goes not a fastas I am used to and is quiet painfull.Nevertheless I am planning an new repaint of my favorit plane ,the Pa18/19.Long time ago I asked (on this forum) for foto material of a Pa18in eyecatching American military colors.So far I did not receive good material.Therefore ,once again, PLEASE HELP???????????RegardsLeen:-wave

Guys/Gals,Not quite sure whether I should have posted this on PMDG Forum but am sure someone will be able to help me.I listed a flight route involving several waypoints and clicked save.The route is saved to the PMDG folder but when I next fired up the FMC I tried to load it but nothing happened.My first question is how do I load up a previously saved flightplan into the FMC?My second question is after I saved a PMG757 flight to saved simulations on quitting FlyII I got the following alert message on trying to load it when I next started up.Unable to match Subsystem [altM]Saved game may be invalidDuplicate Unique idCan anyone help?Thanks,

Hi all,The IVth version of the IFR ttraining plotting table is ready and will be set in the simvol library. As soon as I got a link I'll post it here ... if the avsim library is always off. Obviously I'll send the complete package when things will be settled here.I didn't made yet in this version the wishes of our friend Georg EDDW but I placed an altitude display and I prepared a ARC DME IFR feature.Take a look of the enclosed picture to get the idea.Hope to send the link soon,Cheerslaurent (rotw)

Some news from ROTWYou can download on Simvol (and asap on Avsim when the library will be avalaible)All SID & STAR from DAFIF (Airac 0403) for VolNavAll SID & STAR from DAFIF (Airac 0403) for PMDG aircraft for Fly!II : 757 and 777These data will be updated monthly !New version of VolNAv needed for SID/STAR and with new functionality : you can add your own point calculated form a station with radil and distnce, or two stations with radial.Help still in french for these files and soon in english on Avsim.For SIDSTAR just put data in ...Fly!IIPMDG or ...Fly!IISIDSTAR for VolNav :)DidierROTW team

Just a little update to give you guys something else to see while at the forum. I repainted the GPU by Vin and have added it to the RAF base.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/68659.jpg This little addon will come along in the pod.All the best, Steve.http://mysite.freeserve.com/ysomdesign/banner.jpg My Websitehttp://www.wrexhamspace.orghttp://www.cafeshops.com/wrexhamspace

We made a $100.00 hamburger run from Harrison, Ohio (I67) to Frankfort, Kentucky (KFFT) the other day so here are a few pics. Aurora, Indiana with Hogan Creek running off of the Ohio River and Laugherty Island in the top of the pic. The river is the western border of one level of CVG's class B airspace, the side I'm on varies from 3500' to 5000' on the lower end up to 10k, the other side of the river the lower end drops to 2100'. http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/fft/Dcp_0004.jpg Climbing up to 4500' to get above the thick blueish/grey line on the horizon or as we've come to call it "the bumpy layer line". Below it is the bumpy turbulent air, above it, smooth as glass.…

Hi all,Images from the last plotting table I'll post as soon as AVSIM library will be ready foe upload.The main goal is to display one IFR training track with approach vectors as described in officials maps.See included GIFs.Cheers,LaurentC (rotw)

G'day All,Well it certainly seems to be a lot more stable using this latest driver, my firewall (zone alarm) will cause a dump to desktop when it throws up an alert warning ( this feature can however be switched off ) but it doesn't crash Fly! II ( just minimises it ) and a simple click of the mouse has Fly! II up and running again.BUT ........for me there is a price to pay using this driver.1. Who turned out the lights? Landing and taxi-lights no longer throw a nice beam as they did before. Now it is almost impossible to tell from within the cockpit whether they are on or off. The exterior view shows the faintest of faint beam. A bit like the VW car with 6V electrics.…

I was one year ago today, on March 13, 2003, that our friend Rich Harvey was taken from us. People often speak of "losing" the battle with cancer but that was definitely not the case with Rich...although the cancer took his body, it never, ever defeated him. I like to think that he still looks in on us from time to time, lurking on the forum and smiling when he sees the latest wonderful creations being made by the community that he started and fostered. If you feel inclined to do so, please post a follow up with a favourite memory, or a screenshot of your favourite Fly! or Fly! II experience...or just take a private moment to remember Rich. Thanks.Chris WallaceOttawa,…

install the King Air/Staggerwing ascent rate gauge with the little yellow bug into the PA-28 or 172? I enjoy flying those planes but keeping them at a consistant altitude is a pain. Also, how would one up the horsepower in the Staggerwing to the Wasp Jr 450 hp rating? Grumman Goose anyone? heheheThanks,JamesHmmm... Tastes Like Chicken!

we'll fly into weather, under live ATC! You better brush up on your navigational skills. We'll get updated Weather reports as well as automatic weather as we fly.( the saab is coming along nicely...:-))tony

Hello everyone. My name is Pieter Miller and I a putting together a little presentation about flight simulation for a local flying club here in Hutchinson. I was hoping that some people here might have some screen shots of Fly!, Fly!2k or Fly!II that they would be willing to send to me and let me use in a Powerpoint presentation. I've been an avid Fly! series fan and still consider it my "favorite" sim. I'm pretty lousy at screen shots, so I thought I might ask for some here. My presentation will be using shots from several different sims, but I generally use Fly! as my basis for comparing panel fidelity in modern flight simulations. So, if anyone could help me out,…

Hi2 P51 Mustang pictures from the TICO Airshow (Titusville, FL) I would like to shareHarald

G'day all,I just downloaded and installed the 56.64 Nvidia drivers. I'm using an FX-5900 card. I can't say that there is a huge increase in FPS but it did solve my problem of the computer hanging on the windows splash screen on shutdown and so far (touch wood) I haven't been able to force a CTD. I hope I'm not speaking too soon on about the latter. :-) Cheers,Roger @YSSY

Hi,I'm author of Boeing 737 Fuel Planner - http://www.volny.cz/fs2002/B737FPL/B737FPL.htm . This planner version 1.1. is usable for types -300, -400, -500, -700, -800 and -900. Many people wish to update planner for types -200 and -600... I would like to do it, but I have not fuel flow data for -200 and -600 and I can't find them anywhere. Does anybody has requested data or ability to obtain them ? My e-mail is [email protected] a lot and happy landing....m

Wayne,Your TMADU scenery POD and SCF file for the recently uploaded Audubon County Airport KADU Iowa has the same name as the POD and SCF file for Unalaska Airport-Dutch Harbor PADU (tmadu 136566 .zip and tmadu.zip).They are,however,different sizes and obviously aren't the same.What should one do to extract and install both as one set will overwrite the other? Renaming the files will prevent this but I wonder if you have had any thoughts about alternate names?Thanks for all the airports, this is the only trouble I've had.:-beerchug

Just got a new puter and am trying to install Fly II and related patches. After the basic install from disk, I attempted to install patch 210. I get a message saying I have insufficient storage space to apply patch. I have approx 90 GB of hard drive space left so I know this is enough. I uninstalled Fly II, reinstalled, and tried the patch again. Same results. I didn't have this problem on my old computer. Any ideas? Thanks.Jim

Until a few days ago, I had an amd 2100 overclocked to 2050 mhz and a geforce fx5600 256 meg. In overcast conditions, autogen, and some panels I would get into the 18 fps or so. NOt bad. Well, the other day I received my amd mobile 2500 , which cost me only $100.00 from Newegg. This cpu can be overclocked to incredible heights. In fact I've got it at 2350 mhz, and all of a sudden FLY2 is perfect. I can fly in any condition, with great fps. We're close to giving FLY2 what it needed! At last, things are looking good.tony
