When I load the tms file(extracted from the Taxiways.pod) with AI_TP_H nothing happens. Am I supposed to see an image of the taxiway?tony

I created terrascene scenery for the entire Socal area, but the globe tile that LAX is in comes out messed up. There is a huge square of land right off the coast of lax that terrascene creates. Has anyone terrascened the lax globe tile and had this problem? If so, how can I get rid of that huge landmass that should be ocean?Thanks,Glenn

I am very new to the forum so apologies up front for any procedural, protocol errors.As an enthusiastic user of FLY2, I have just started tinkering with creating scenery especially for airports in South Africa. I am especially keen to create detailed scenery for Cape Town and Cape Town International(FACT)for FLY2.Having read through the Terramodels manual, I am aware that in order to create FACT, a good starting point would be with the taxiways, aprons etc. This is done from what I understand through Terramodels by using a bitmap image and then 'overlaying' the runways.I would be very grateful if anyone could advise me on how to obtain the bitmap image of FACT for this.I …

After about a week of having the thing work in the Skyhawk (after a complete reinstall or two), suddenly, it's backwards again.Man, oh man. Any ideas?Andrew

Hello my frinds. How to I listen to my ATC? Im tune to Airport but no man speak to me. Thankyou Ivor

It's deja vu all over again! :-)Well, the 3rd time's the charm. I am beginning a long-delayed project to create new TerraScenery packs for North & South Carolina. Some of you may recall that I have TerraScened all of the Carolinas twice for Fly!/Fly!2K. Those were cooperative ventures with Jeff Brooks. This scenery was done twice - once with TS 1.0, then again with TS 2.0. If you still use the original Fly!, these sceneries should still be available in the Avsim library in completely rendered form.I've held off on a new version for TS 2.1 & Fly! II until all of the issues could be resolved with both programs and a means could be found of uploading the larger scen…

Anyone help me with this. Everytime I teleport to Elizabeth City Regional (ECG) I get a CTD. I have the following error in the gtfo file:Msg: Stream corrupt. Cannot process next tag line [File].File: streamio.cpp line 826Time: Sun May 18 14:19:22 2003errno = 2 (No such file or directory)I think I have created some scenery there using the scenery editor. However I haven't found any evidence in the FLY2 folder. I was going to delete it if I could have found anything. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks.

How do you repaint or change the panel?

Hello everybody.Im looking for round meters for the RFP742 game. I need also instructions for installing the meters.

Hello all,Glad to find an active FlyII forum. I recently reloaded FlyII and patched up to 250.240 with globe update. I also loaded in ROTW's excellent TBM700 (one of the main reasons for doing all this, I flew one in 1996 and I still dream about it!).I am having trouble understanding how to get the program to bring you in to approach to a smaller airport. For example, I planned a flight from MYF to DVT using the TBM700. When reaching Phoenix I am instructed to switch to PHX approach and am given vector for landing at KPHX, even if I bring up DVT menu and select approach/departure (same frequency) I am still given approach clearance to KPHX. If I contact DVT tower I a…

Hi Everyone,After loading LAX airport scenery I received an error message when I started my flight plan:Unable to open model. 0CITY-01.BinAny Ideas???Kind RegardsJohn

I wanted to try and render some areas with the tigerline data using Terrascene. I just wondered if anyone knew exactly how to do this? I mean, basically which layers do I need to download and which ones are a waste of time? Do you still have to use the landuse data and all that stuff or can you do a terrascene project using only the new tigerline data?Thankskristian

It's simply unbeliveable. Ghost is an imaging program for backups and restores. What is different about it is that it will literally make an image of the entire disk or partition. In case a program fails, usually the operating system, one can quickly bring it back to life without having to go throught all those reinstall procedures normally used to install an operating system. This includes everything: drivers, registry associations, etc. So, sure enough I had divided my hard drive into three partitions: win98, games , and storage. Just 5 minutes ago I began to experience some weird win98 problems that I could not solve. So, I loaded ghost from a floppy, went through the …

I start a very short flight from DPA to ARR with the basic Flyhawk.I enter the ILS of the runway of ARR, take off, then AP on, NAV and GPS on. The plane follows the track. At about 5nm, I switch the APP button, off the GPS, and never the plane goes to the runway except if I switch REV on. Why it never takes the APP but only in REV mode?My altitude is about 400 feet at 3 nm.Thanks for your helpRakhamPIV 2.53 Ghz 1536 DDR ATI Radeon 9700 Pro WinXP ProYoke & Pedals CH Products

Fire up the Navajo, and select Weigh & Balance with CG info showing. It's much too nose-heavy with the default loadout, reading about -7 (an impossible (?) value).I removed the front luggage, the co-pilot and the first row of passengers, added 200-pound passengers to each of the rear seats and 200 pounds to the rear cargo. The resulting CG reading was 35 -- more reasonable. The plane took off better and, when at cruise at 186TAS, the "jiggles" never showed up when I engaged autopilot.Prehaps with an unrealistic weight/balance condition, the AP is fighting to do the impossible. Try using loadout to correct the CG issue and see if the Navajo is better behaved.

Is there an external program that will let you view the sectional charts that came with Fly...or external program that will let you view the map packs? Thanks.

Trying to get Fly2 installed, patched, and running after some time off and major computer modifications.Everything seems to be running fine, but I've found that after Terrascening my local airport (KOGD), the airplane enters the simulation suspended at least 100 feet above the airport. It immediately crashes to earth in a pile of debris. This does not happen using generic scenery (Terrascene pod removed). Does this mean I will have to do some flattening? I created this scenery so long ago, I don't recall if the scenery slicer automatically flattens like the Fly!2k editor did.Thanks,Dan

Hello all,I've been out of the Fly! forums lately and was just curious as to whether or not any other details may have surfaced about the future of Fly!. Last I heard, one of the developers declared, "Fly! will see the store shelves again!" But that it would likely be next year before it did.Any news?Kenneth

I recall a website offering VFR coverage of the entire Pacific coast of the US, from Seattle down to San Diego in three individual packages. I have been unable to locate that site nor recall their name. I don't even know if the package was compatible with FlyII! If anyone reads this and recognizes what I'm talking about, please tell me who they were and if they are still in business, and if they're packages were any good.Thank you in advance,Zane

Anyone know if there will be an update of Final Approach to link it with FlyII? I have used this program for years and really like the way it works and allows you to make your own approach charts, nice print quality too. Would also like to see an option to allow you to view during flight or at least bring up the chart on a clipboard while in flight... save printing out on paper. Hoping someone involved with Final Approach reads this :).Zane

Hi,In a few days I`ll finish F-BOUK.Total repaint , inside as well as outside.Have a look athttp://home.planet.nl/~dejag021/Bouk_ani.htmlRegardsLeen de Jager

Hello again!After such enthusiastic reponses to my last post, I have decided to post a propsal. I would Like to try to Fly around the world. I know it will take a LONG time, but I am thinking I will give my self a year or so. First is what plane to use. I know I will neaver make it across the Pacific in a Flyhawk ( too bad) But I can't land a 737 either, let alone a 747! I was thinking of the King Air. Any other sugestions?Next is where to cross the Major oceans. The Pacific I was thinking I could go around and cross over the Bering strait. the Atlantic is a little harder. I could try to pass over Greenland and to Iceland from there, but that is a long flight! I could tr…

OK. Here's another patch. This one fixes the Center-to-Center handoff bug. Cheers, Tony
