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!

    Hey guys, Just bought a set of pedals on e-bay. Hooked them up, plugged in my analog joystick to it. Win 98 system does not recognize it. It sees the joystick and other gaming devices, just not the pedals. CH doesn't seem to have a set of drivers for this one, only the Pro Pedals. Any ideas or tips?Thanks!James Hmmm...

    I've had FLY!2K for years, and never had this problem before.I usually start FLY from the SKY! menu. The loading of FLY begins, and then stops. This error message appears: Subsystem is not registered...C:flightflightcirc.cpp, and then another window saying that fly.exe has created errors and will shut down.Starting FLY from its own desktop icon leads to the same phenomenon.Is this related to the wormblaster virus which came my way, and which I've cleaned up.My FS2002 was not effected, neither was FLY!2 affected- only FLY!2K. I actually prefer using the latter since it's more stable on my system.EytanP3 450GeForce 200 MX 64 MB256 RAM

    HiEarlier i had a TNT2 and Fly2 worked fine, now i have an Ati9100 since some month and wanted to fly around a bit. Installing and patching is no problem, but graphics is completly messed up. Runways disappear, the aircraft in external view is constantly showing up and hiding, mountains are moving, the cursor shows a "path". Everything is messed up.I tried it with dx8.1 and 9.0b and several ati drivers, always the same.Is there a fix out there?ThxStefan

    Hello everyone,I've heard a lot of really great things about Fly2 lately. So, it has sparked my interest in looking at Fly2 for VFR flying around the Detroit, Michigan area. Someone mentioned that there is terrascenery (?) for this region, but I don't quite know what that means. Anyway, could someone please comment on the Fly2 Sim for me. Do you think it would be good flying a Cessna 172 VFR around the Michigan area? Are there ways to customize the scenery, by adding your own buildings, static aircraft, etc.??? Thanks for answering the newbie questions, I'm really intrigued to learn more about this sim...!Kind regards,Steve

    Hi all,Glad to see the continued support of Fly!II, thank you Wayne and Randall for your great scenery.Yes, I did get the new Microsoft product and it is very apparent Fly's influence. I have to wonder how many of these features would have appeared had it not been for the competition. IMHO Fly and Fly!II have probably been the only real competition for Microsoft, the others, while great, either had limited areas of coverage or little to no ability to modify (grow).I really wish that someone would pick up the pieces from Terminal Reality (or TRI for that matter) and continue developing Fly!III.In the meantime, I will continue working on some panel updates for the King Ai…

    Apparently, it's been discovered that the planes in fs2004 have fewer flight dynamics variables than those in fs2002. In essence this reduces their "realistic" potential to something less than fs2002 planes. Gee, if only a few developers were to rediscover FLY2.....I've been tweaking some fly2 planes and have been having alot fun. although, I must admit that all those variables are scary. ;-)tony
