The FLY General Discussion Forum

Hi forumI have uploaded the staggerwing in the library. It shoud be ready anytime.This is a PC version as it requires a small DLL. I will release a MAC version in 2 days without the DLL. MAC user will only loose the ouside wind indicator.The plane is an exact replica of a real bird still in operation in UK.Hope you will enjoy it.Jean (ROTW)http://www.pixup.com/pub/fly/stag.jpg

Hi,This might seem strange but from time to time I have a problem with missing runways. I noticed this a couple of times, approaching and airport, can't see the runway. Can see the taxiways, buildings, even the 'grass' textures but no runway.This happend to me with Biggin Hill and London City last night. If I start fly on these airports, everything is alright. When I land on the missing RWY and teleport to the same airport, the RWY is visible as normally.Any idea what it may be?Rene S.FLYII, patched to .240, G-Force2 64MB, XP, P4 1.7GHz 512RAM

This flight was a whole lot cheaper for some reason tho :) http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/kat1.jpg [br] http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/kat2.jpg [br] http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/kat3.jpg c ya :-waveBart [email protected]://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/bart_logo3.jpg

With all of Wayne Roberts' Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire scenery, I've tried to TerraScene a lot of the northeast USA. But I keep butting up on Canadian land and get the ugly grey abyss - I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.When you finish the Carolina's (which I think are great, by the way), maybe you could find the time to work on the borders between Niagra Falls in New York, all the way up to the tip of the Atlantic ocean at the Canadian border.Looking forward to it.-DK----David KohlFly!

It looks like they both cover the same area...200,153.The first is labeled wilmington.zip and the second is called wilmington2.zip.BTW, I've finally caught up with the OHIO Terrascene and am trying to KEEP up with all your latest!They are very good!Jeff

Hi guysOn Avsim file ibrary there's a program called X-Metar, that serves X-Plane and Fly!Has anyone tried it out?Regards, :-beerchugMarco Antonio SilvaBrazil

no matter what I do my plane or helicopter always slides when on the ground. even with engines off and brakes on they just drift slowly in one direction. if anyone knows what this is or how to fix it please let me know. thanks guys

I scored big time. Went to Fry's yesterday and they had a refurbished 21" Dell Monitor (Trinitron!) and for my new enhanced viewing pleasure I upgraded my MX420 (actually a PCI card) for a TI4200 w/128 megs DDR ram. FlyII is no problem now, visibility to 60 miles, med density to 20 miles (I think that's the highest setting) and high density to 5 miles. The visuals are just incredible... I'm so stoked! An interesting discovery, C4TO version 3.31 (the most current update) is working without a glitch. With the older card I would frequently get center radio changes and the autotune would not function until after checking in... Interesting.Zane

Hi MAC usersThe staggerwing for MAC is now uploaded to the library.Happy flyingJeanhttp://www.pixup.com/pub/fly/logoJSA.jpg

Any news on the release date of the ATR42 from our French frend's ?? Really can't wait for this release its the one type of aircaft Flyll needs ThanksWayne

For all of you that have already downloaded and generated from my original Elizabeth City TerraScene Pack - don't worry! Your scenery will generate and load just fine. However, I must have been half-asleep when I made the pack - the area is not Elizabeth City! It had been mis-typed on my globe tile chart and I copied the error during its manufacture! :-roll If you want to be accurate, change your folder name that contains the scenery pod and SCF file to Kinston. If some of you teleported to the Elizabeth City airport expecting to see new terraScene in the area, you now know why you didn't! :-lol I will have the library managers pull the mis-named Elizabeth City project …

This beautiful coastal/outer banks area of North Carolina is now finished in TerraScene project pack form. Covering 1 1/2 global tiles, it picks up the NC coastline at Atlantic Beach, then continues north through Morehead City, New Bern, Bayboro, Cherry Point and the Pamlico River. To the east, it continues out over Pamlico sound to Cape Lookout, then proceeds north to Cape Hatteras, including Ocracoke, Buxton, and Avon.Over Beaufort, with a portion of the outer banks in the distance http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/14095.jpg In order, the links below contain the following images:-Ocracoke Island-Cape Hatteras-Pamlico Sound-New Bern

Last night, I was going to upload EGLC London city airport.After the informative post by our friend Dave Taylor I have found this part of London may not be terrascened. The Airport is surrounded by water and the Thames River. It just isnt right on land.So Im making my own. :-) http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/avsim/YSOM0003.jpgSteve.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/aragon.JPG][/divMy United Kingdom Scenery.http://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=...&Go=Change+Viewhttp://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/avsim/bart.htm

Download this fantastic oldie from Simvol. Those wonderful French have done it again.tony

And what did I do? I tried the multi million dollar Sikorsky S61N simulator at our training center.They had an open spot for me today.Nice to have friends working there.And what an experience! After flying the 407, and my own projects for FlyII for a long time now, it was time to see if they could be compared to the real thing,and also get experience how to tweak them for most realism.Well into the dark cockpit I tried to start engine one,but failed several times.Suddenly everything went black,and the emergency lightscame on.The battery had drained.On with external power,and both engines started OK.Standing on RWY 18 at ENZV and all systems workingI tried to pull some col…

occasionally my sim just dies and I get a message that a runtime error has occured and WinRun.ccp cant open. if anyone else is having or can fix this problem let me know. thanks guys. p.s. are there any helos other than the 407 repaints for fly 2?

in Fly!2k, there was a key combination that brought up a little mini-panel. Is there such a thing in Fly!II? Also, I hate to complain about Fly!II as I really do enjoy it. But, when I "scroll" my head to the starboard side of the default 172 I feel like I'm sitting on the floor. How can you fly a right hand traffic pattern when you can't see out? Is there anyway to get rid of the interior bmp's, or are there any replacement bmp's that make it a little more easy to look out?Thanks for any replies.Pieter

Taxiways get old and i cant seem to find any thing truly exciting to land my 407 on. if you know of anything including ships helipads rooftops or anything else of the sort please let me know. Thanks guys.

Hi There,I copyed this from the MSFS aircraft and panel design forum! since I always have a look around there for handytips regarding 3DS, 3DS and MSFS Gmax are almost familiar to each other the came from the same company (Discreet) So I was looking there one day and I found this threat about traning video's for 3D studio and Paintshoppro I downloaded the video's and I have to say that they are very usefull to newbe's So people if you like making things for FLY and you don't know much about the design programs just take a look at this video's>> Copyed from MSFS aircraft and panel design forum>>My friend & fellow helo design enthusiast, Tom Heaverlo, pointe…

Any chance you can update your KSJC to eliminate the black ground areas that "flash" when flying over?Also, Moffet field would be nice including the very large hangers - such landmarks when driving on 101 North. BTW: You'll have to fill in the ground a bit around Moffet. In the default San Fran ground scenery that comes with Fly!2, there is a "suburban homes" texture on the ground. FYI.Thanks.-DK----David KohlFly! II v2.5.240Dell 8200 P4/1.8G, 1024MB RAM, Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 v41.09, WinXP Home Edition SP1.CH Pro Pedals and Yoke USB.

To reduce the image size to 800 X 600 if using a screen with higher resolution.Change the Fly ini settings from force Max Size to = 1 (from = 0)Also change:max Width = 800 max height = 600:-cool

I have tried to download a file for Terramodels,After the first Square is turned red, It gives me an errorUnknown URL errorWhat can I do to correct that problemJeff

I noticed the age old "floating" problem again. Here I am at the end of Rwy 24 at Cincinnati Blue Ash airport in Ohio. I am perfectly situated at the 6 end of the runway right centered, but as you can see from the outside views, I'm actually floating in mid-air. I have TerraScened the Cincinnati area and am using Wayne's Blue Ash airport.Any ideas?BTW: I noticed this too at HPN (White Plains, NY), another airport I have TerraScened and TerraModels from Scott Cannizaro (NYCFlyer).Help appreciated. I read through other posts about "flattening" the ground, but have no idea how to actually do it, nor do I understand why this is happening. -DK----David KohlFly! II v2.5.240Dell…

Please read the front page today. Richard will live on for many many years to come.

Continuing north of the Myrtle Beach, SC area, I have finished the next global tile in this sequence - it should be uploaded by Tuesday morning. The Wilmington tile includes a portion of the Atlantic coastline, extending from Topsoil Beach in the NE south to North Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand.Over Wilmington Intl: http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/12326.jpg Other shots in the following links:1.
