The FLY General Discussion Forum

Hi guys,I hope some of you are like me and have kept FLY2K on your computer. I still like to fly it on occasion. Great sim!I recently bought a FX5600XT 256M card. Really makes FLYII sing! FLY2K CTD (crash to desktop).I tried placing the dx8tl.dll, dx8.dll, and dx7.dll and modifying the fly.ini. It would actually work fine untill I go to outside view... then I get a "unknown D3D error. CTD.Surely some of you gurus out there have already found a way to uprade FLY2K to accomodate the new cards. Would you help me?Thanks,Earl

I downloaded Lennart's scenery for Palma de Mallorca for Fly2k and installed it. In the flight planner, I entered LEPA in the ICAO section- no recognition. I tried airport name, and it was recognized.I hit the FLY button, but the textures are the Ground Control ones. Also, the airport in the map view is LESJ, not LEPA. I slew around, go to the islands of Ibiza and Menorca, but no special textures there either.So where is the airport Lennart is referring to?Any ideas?Eytan

that I had written about a while back. Our dear friend Azzurro suggested that I write a tutorial on it, and so I wrote one. It's light and , hopefully, fun and instructive. Enjoy!tony

which will show how I use the default FMC and flight planner screen to input navigation points for a STAR approach. If you're flying into many of the major airports, some twenty miles before the airport, you're asked to fly a particular STAR (standard arrival route ) path that will get you for a clearance to a specific runway. This is a must if you're planning to fly with VATSIM on-line. So, practice some of these, and flying on line will be easy. tony

Ts2 is in the middle of slicing to FLY2 when I get this error message. Help pleasechris_CAhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/62828.jpg

I've tried 3 times to download the P-51, but every time I get a message that the "sub system is not registered (sefx)" then it says File: subsystem.cpp Line:254WTF? Anyone know what I should do?

Check out the projects page at Flydevelopers.com and take a look at a video of the Seawind taking off from the water in Fly! II. It is a Windows Media File (WMV) running about 50 seconds - and hopefully dial-up users will not have too long a wait for it to play. We are getting closer to getting this right! Just a few more bugs to work out!Cheers!Ken Wood :-sun1Seawind Projecthttp://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/bannernewkw.jpgGateway 700X; Intel P4 2.4GHz; 512MB RAM; NVIDIA Ti4200 4X AGP 128MB; SB Audigy; Thrustmaster TopGun Fox 2 Pro Shock

I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop.If I press the sound volume decrease button I switch to an outside view of the aircraft from the cockpit view.Anyone has the same problem and/or knows the solution?:-beerchug

Zane Gard Jr. has written a wonderful review of ROTW's Socata TBM-700 and it is posted on Flightsim at http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/review/tbm700.htmIt was surprising enough to see Fly! even mentioned there, and a real pleasure to see that Zane had written his review based as a comparison btwn Fly!II/ROTW and the real thing (he recently took a test flight in a real TBM-700 and was able to give a detailed description - photos and images included). That isn't all - Zane does an outstanding job of covering the history of TRI/Fly! and incorporates some of the interplay btwn. Rich Harvey & TRI, Rob Young, PMDG, and of course, developers such as ROTW.Some of you…

Previous postings suggest that one should have the minimum of shared scenery.The AFG Brisbane scenery goes into the shared scenery folder.Does anyone know the co-ordinates for the scenery so that I could move it to the scenery folder?:-beerchug

He has a secret... a big secret...but I am not telling... not yet... ;-)

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to edit/update the airport database in Infometar 1.01? I am based in Western Australia and find that generating metar for any flight in this region using FSBuild and InfoMetar results in unkown or errant airport codes. This program is very useful but there has been no update since version 1.01 as far as I can find.Can someone suggest a fix?Ken:-roll

Hi, Alicante photorealistic is readyI

For those who have done Scenery, Models, repaints, Splash Screens, & whatever else I forgot, This site is for you http://www.flydeveloper.com/ Now online, The only flydeveloper sister pageJeffhttp://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/bannernewja.jpg

Did anyone else experience this problem? I have no trouble with all other aircrafts,except with the 757 and 777 PMDG aircrafts. Also, with the 757 the autopilot is malfunctioning: when I turn it on, all the other buttons come on and the MFD turns off. When I turn it off, the MFD comes on. The only thing I can think of is that some of the dll, such as the atc and a few others, might be affecting it? tony

I am please to say that Flydevelopers.com is now online.I am sorry that it took so long to get this done.also the loss of the files that dajackman had there and worked so hard for., But a new sitehttp://www.flydevelopers.com/Is Alive Check out the tutorials page , news Page, Press Releases PageThank you dajackmanJeff

Hello all!It's my 400th post, and I couldn't resist to get you guys in trouble with a few questions about the attached screenshot. :-) No true troubling trick in truth: it should be easy!Which sim is that?What is the aircraft?Where does it fly?Who made the aircraft?Who made the scenery?What time is it?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/58207.jpgThird and last question don't need very precise answers.I'm off for the week-end, good luck and see you soon!Pascal

I am trying to locate an email address for Mr. Peter Sidoli, real life pilot. Does anyone have an email address they have used in the past or present? He has not visited AVSIM in quite some time and his account is now inactive. :-( Many thanks in advance for any assistance!Ken Wood :-sun1http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/bannernewkw.jpgGateway 700X; Intel P4 2.4GHz; 512MB RAM; NVIDIA Ti4200 4X AGP 128MB; SB Audigy; Thrustmaster TopGun Fox 2 Pro Shock
