We have now finished our run down the Ohio River with the addition of two more global tile scenery packs. The Huntington tile centers on Huntington, West Virginia and runs to the west just shy of Portsmouth, OH. The Maysville tile centers on Maysville, KY, finally joining all segments of the Ohio River.Here's how it all looks right now, with just two tiles to go on the NW border: http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/7259.gif Screenshots from the tiles have been posted on the Screenshot forum:http://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.php?az=sho..._id=41803&page=Both TerraScene packs should be available within 24 hours.

Just sent it off to the server. Think there is only a few left to finish off Southwestern Ohio, then time to head up nort a bit and start west of Dayton :) For all you commuter airline pilots, read in the paper the other day there is a company in Chicago that is working on setting up a regular run between Chicago and Lunken for 19 seat passenger aircraft, hoping to increase that to 50 seaters!here's some pics, just copy the addresses to the address bar and hit enterbartsflyplace.tripod.com/luk1.gifbartsflyplace.tripod.com/luk2.gifbartsflyplace.tripod.com/luk3.gifThe others that are done for this area are:Hamilton-Fairfield (HAO)Cincinnati West (I67)Cincinnati Blueash (I…

Wayne,For some time now I've enjoyed the "fruits" of your efforts in enhancing numerous airports for Fly II. Can't tell you how much more enjoyable the sim is with populated airports to arrive at and depart from. A request, sometime in the future could you work your magic on KCHS, KSAV, and KSTP?Thanks again for your contributions to the hobby.Jim

In Flight Planner, it always feaults to New York state. I want it to defaut ro All States for United States.How can I change this?

Flying to your airports is a marvel. I am afraid you've been nominated by the FLy2 community to populate all of the 5000 or so aiports in the USA before we get you to the world. Fortunately, FSimport will assist you with those. Keep up the good work, and I like the idea of you working your way down to Mass and RI. I fly the b1900 as a commuter airliner and these airports have been particularily fun. Just landed in Manchester,NHtony

Hello to all. I am looking for the file that allows to use MCP747 with B757-200 of PMDG, but not this available one in the Web of PMDG. if some of you has it, would he/she have the kindness to send it to me? My e-mail is: [email protected] Thank you to all and a greetingIsrael Abril Fernandez

Hello to all. I believe that Lefteris had created an application to use B757-200 with MCP of Aerosoft Australia. Would I be possible somebody to indicate where I can find it? Another question: I am looking for FSimport but I don't find it in AVSIM. Is somebody able to me to indicate their exact name or to tell me where it can be? Thank you to all for your help. GreetingsIsrael Abril Fernandez

Just having a dabble at scenery editing. Is there a scenery "howto" file for the default Fly2 scenery editor available in the Avsim library? Havn't been able to find it. Also is Peter Jacobson's taxiways editor available for download?. I have downloaded Alen Kriesman"s file.

During the process of poking around with Fly 2 I came accross the "Theme manager".What does this do? I guess I like to know what all the features are used for.

Hello, I am sure some of you have seen my previous post on this topic. I tried everything, EVERYTHING!!!!! BUT IT STILL DOES NOT WORK!!!!!I went through the instruktion manuel and everything seems so perfect about the plane! I just wish I could use it!If some serious investigation were to go into this, I am sure a solution would soon be found. I am sure that I am not the only one who is having problems with this.

From some of the threads, some of you can see that getting going with AI is a little daunting. Like some many new things, however, things appear more difficult than they are. My attmpts to getting comfortable with AI would have failed if it had not been for Laurent's prompt and patient hand holding. Now, however, I have mastered the tool and can say that having flight plans in which planes depart and land at the airport of choice is fantastic. Moreover, I've been using AI Manager, a fs2002 flight planning tool that makes creating flight plans for FLY2 simple. You simply pick your departure and arrival airport and it will calculate times, schedules, save and compile the fl…

Has anyone read the post by Ralph Zimmerman? It would appear that he is referring to what is already in Fly although he is writing about microsoft. It is a very interesting article and well worth the read.

Hi folks,A few minutes ago I oploaded my new homepage.Have a look.Regards

Hello, after putting in a couple hundred hours of flight time on the FLY! II - Hawker, I've put together the following list of quirks, questions and comments and would appreciate any answers and/or confirmations on each if possible.1. Last night I setup a flight plan from KRDU, NC to KATL, GA and used the "Generate Route" button in the stock Fly Flight Planner after starting FLY with my Hawker at BGR, ME. I then started my flight using the "Start Flight Plan" button, adjusted fuel quantity and cranked up the Hawker. When I powered on the FMC's, both screens went through the normal tests until they got to the initial screen with "Accept". I click on "Accept" button and the…

After the message regarding screenshots in Avsim, I decided to create my own Fly! II site where I can post necessary screen shots.Once I was with my hands on I decided to create my site a litle more interesting. There I have the sceneries I've created and information about my Fly! II projects including my intention to develop a Fly! II workbench.I hope you enjoy the site..http://sites.uol.com.br/jjlobo/JJLobo

Hi,I would like to know if anybody here runs Fly! II with ATI 9700/PRO videocard using antialiasing and anisotropic filters turned on, and how about the final performance (specially when fly!ing through the clouds)? I'm thinking to change my Gforce4 Ti4600 for anything faster and read that ATI's card has amazing speed with those options enabled.Thank you,Keyton Cabral

Hi,I have installed both Lyon airports that I found on Simvol site. Unfortunately, when I teleport to either of them, an error appears, saying that (I don't) remember exactly) "lamp.dll" is missing, or sth like that. I installed all the add-ons mentioned in the readme files. Apparently there is still something missing. Does anybody knows what it is ?

Hello everyone!I have downloaded some airport sceneries from SIMVOL lately. I must say the guys made some really grat stuff there. The airports are beautiful. Many of them consist only from two files copied to the scenery directory. What is more, they are not framerate killers! Those sceneries are really great. I happened to visit Cote d'Azur airport (Nice). And... surprise. The runways are on the water! I have never been to Nice but I really doubt it is so in real life. I am not sure but I suppose it was so in the original Fly! 2 scenery. Is there any cure for that ?
