The FLY General Discussion Forum

The General Discussion forum for the TRI series of FLY Simulators.

Dedication

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!

    Hi everyone,I was hoping someone could help me out. I just upgraded to a new system which is a Dell Dimension 8300 P4 3.4 Ghz HT, 1 GB RAM, Radeon 9800XT 256MB and a SB Audigy sound card. I am running Windows XP Home, and Direct X 9.0B, with WHQL certified ATI video card drivers as installed by Dell. DXDIAG reports no problems with either DirectDraw or DirectSound. Full hardware acceleration is enabled.I did a clean re-install of the US version of Fly 2, and then installed the "all-in-one" patch to bring it up to version 210. I then installed the final patch to bring Fly 2 to version 240. I also installed the video update.Now, with or without the video update, I can …

    Most of my CTD occured when I had an application, like a text editor, running in the background. Whenever I'd change views, FLY2 would crash. Lately I've been testing the new SBox and kept getting Crashes. Like so many of us, I went crazy trying to figure out the cause. The latest is my having checked off( remove) the option to have the antialiasing as "application controlled". MY preliminary tests so far prove that FLY2 wont crash. Let's hope.....tony

    Hi Folks, I remember some time ago posts with this problem but I was unable to find anything about it when I searched. The question is about the scenery not being there when a simulation had been loaded from the saved simulations. I new it happened with KSFO but did not know it also happened with KHAF. When I start a flight plan from the flight planner from anywhere else to start at KHAF all scenery is present, was there ever a resolution to the problem with KSFO?Has anyone got any ideas?Thanks Desmond

    I am cleaning up FLY2 and Sbox, and moving vehicles without ATC are a distraction. Unfortunately, I cannot simply remove the "path" without FLY2 asking for the Hawker model. If it's easy to make my wish your command, then I'd appreciate it. ;-)tony
