The FLY General Discussion Forum

I've asked this a couple of times before without getting any suggestions but I'll give it one more shot!When I try to install the 1.52 to 2.10 patch for Fly!II I get an error message saying that "Old file not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match". And then the patching process quits. At that point it seems like it's the ntpath.pyc file that it tries to patch.Has anyone else had this problem and found a remedy? I get the error having done a fresh install of Fly!II (and not installed on the computer before). I also tried downloading the patch again and running it but to no avail. Strange thing is that I used to r…

I was wondering if anyone could help me or guide me to the link t download the 128 memory Pod not the 256 one for terrasceneRegards Dave

When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.He answered by saying that, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."It became very quiet in the roomc ya :-waveBart [email protected]://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/pics/ryans...ight/flight.gif http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/bart_logo3.jpg

I really need help here....Sorry for the subtlety here, but I have majorissues regarding brakes. For some reason, the right pedal is activatingthe LEFT brake (and yes, I've checked my settings).I 've deleted the keys in the key set-up for "Airplane"and I get the same thing. Maybe I need to change itin control.txt somewhere, but I'm not familiar enoughwith that text file to know what to do.Any advice. guys?JimPowerMac G4-933/60 GB/768 MB/Mac OS 10.2.4; 9.2.2/GeForce 4 Ti/Ch Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, Pro Pedals

Been a while since I tried using it, have a new video card, and upgraded to DirectX 9 since I used it last... now I cant get it to run full screen. (hardware mode). When I attempt to switch to hardware mode, I get a black screen, and then nothing. Have to power off to get out.Thx,Brad

Scott,have you been able to upload your version 2 pod yet. I could only find version1?:-wave

I have to cleanup the rudder and adjust the bloody nose a bit then do the night lights. This weekend if all goes well.Pete

David Kohl got me thinking about the PMDG implementation of night lighting and I thought I'd dig into things a bit. Guess what? I've partially figured out how this works in Fly!II! You need to add several lines to the lod file as follows: ---- night-time models ---- ---- begin models ---- ---- model entry ---- comp VirginAtlantic7473HM5.acm 200 ---- model entry ---- nitA VirginAtlantic7473HM5.acm 200 ---- model entry ---- nitB VirginAtlantic7473HM6.acm 200 ---- model entry ---- nitC VirginAtlantic7473HM7.acm 200 ---- model entry ---- nitD VirginAtlantic7473HM8.acm 200 ---- model entry ---- comp VirginAtlantic7473HM5.acm 25 ---- …

I've been trying to create some STARs in VolNav, but when I start up VolNav again, I get this error message: " is not a valid integer value.Then VolNav starts, but doesn't show airways.

Just sent this repaint off to the AVSIM server.Pete

He's a very well known developer of a great FLY2 addon. When I learned that he could not fly FLY2 becasue of his very old system, I sent him a motherboard with a very powerful cpu. He, however, has informed me that his power supply will not handle it. I suspect that his video card and possibly very old memory will not cut it, too. Since some(like I did) of us upgrade regularily, I am asking if anyone has these spares. He's currently without a job and finances are tight. We have been using his program and I simply feel that he, too, should be enjoying FLY2. I am going to keep the name private, but if some of you can help, simply ask him to e-mail you. thanks.tony

Just curious to know how development on this regional is going.:-rolltony

Pete:Would you consider "re-painting" the stock Continental, Delta, United and VC-32 aircrat PMDG supplied so that the textures all work correctly at night?Right now, when switching to night textures, the stock repaints show remnants of the Delta body when lights are not on. It would be nice to get these PMDG-provided birds flying without visual "bugs".While on this road, can I request these 757 repaints?> Delta Classic Livery: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/332756/M/> El Al: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/328785/M/> American RetroJet: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/326183/M/Thanks. -DK----David KohlFly!

Pete:Have you considered applying your wonderful skills to the PMDG 777? I have many of your 757 repaints and would love to expand my fleet of 777's as well.Also, would it be possible to add night-lighting textures to 777 aircraft? -DK----David KohlFly!

I just used FSimport to covert my FS2k2 air racing sceneries into Fly!II. Now, if there was a way to get the AI to race around the pylons, we'd be set.Pieter

I have been using this program for ages now but I have not been able to get the vertex for the initail aircraft position to work for me. I know I have done in the past.... but how?Also, is it possible to lay the taxiways with no lights at night, for runways which are not used anymore?Thankyou in advance, a puzzled Stevie *:-* http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/aragon.JPGUnited Kingdom Sceneryhttp://ftp.avsim.com/library/search.php?Se...y2tms&Go=SearchRepaintshttp://ftp.avsim.com/library/search.php?Se...y2Air&Go=SearchOther fileshttp://ftp.avsim.com/library/search.php?Se...2Misc&Go=Search

Just wanted to share this with you all. ...Currently working on my Commercial ticket. ...Flew cross country from KOUN - K1M1 - KOUN. ...560 miles +. ...Filed 4 flight plans (closed 4 too) ...6.8 hours flight time. ...9 with the stops. ...Wife is glad I made it back. ...Me too.Tired but thrilled.Blake

Hello everyone,I've uploaded version 3.1 of the C4TO.DLL. [before anyone jumps all over me and tells me that any of the following is not realistic, let me say that I fully comprehend this. The solutions that I'm presenting are the best that I can come up with given the limitations of using a flight simulator. There is no Fly! II database that has all of the required data for me to know the geometry of controlled airspace. Consequently, I am making the assumption that the floor of a center controller's airspace is always airport elevation + 4000. That said, I am willing to accept suggestion and/or corrections if an acceptable alternative approach/assumption would work. So,…

After so many night flights out of ORD, I decided to make some new scenery that looks more like the real nighttime Chicago. Streets and roads there are brightly and evenly lit with sodium lights, which makes for a pretty bright city zone at night.My POD covers the area from north Chicagoland down to Gary Indiana, and west a bit past ORD. The download would be about 66mb of course!

Potentially a silly question - I've been flying both of these aircraft on Fly!II for quite some time now and I notice that when at altitude at an acceptable rate of speed, the nose seems to be pointed up even though the trim indicator arrow is below the middle marker.Is this normal? Do these aircraft fly like that in real life? Or is it just me thinking they're not level when they actually are?Hmmmm... any help would be appreciated. It's not drastic, but makes me curious!:-hahJohn Bauder @ KLGA/KJFKFly!2K MAC& PCFly II PC [email protected]

Hello everyone! I was rumaging though the avsim library and I found this:Filename: aircraftconversion.zipLicense: Check within downloadAdded: 9th June 2001Downloads: 3793Author: Alan KaiserSize: 28kbDoes anybody know if this works? If so, please post hear and let me know.I would try it my self, but I can't, tecnical porblems...

After finding no help in the archives concerning airport beacons, I gotta ask. Why don't I have any beacons at any airports?And when I manually place a beacon and try to save it (using builtin scenery editor), it's gone when I run Fly again. (Also can't move and save objects that are appearing, such as the bridges around San Francisco that are just slightly out of place).Any advice? Would reinstalling help? I've updated Fly over the years through the original TRI patches to .250, little by little.It'd be nice to have a more realistic beacon model, too; something like a single steel pole. And of course, if beacons could be visible from 20 miles out...!

Hi EveryonePlease do not download EGPE Inverness Dated upload 25th March as this has a file the puts the bridge in the wrong location. It all works OK otherwise. I have uploaded the correct zip file to Avsim. Should be available a bit later.Regards, Steve.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/aragon.JPGUnited Kingdom Sceneryhttp://ftp.avsim.com/library/search.php?Se...y2tms&Go=SearchRepaintshttp://ftp.avsim.com/library/search.php?Se...y2Air&Go=SearchOther fileshttp://ftp.avsim.com/library/search.php?Se...2Misc&Go=Search

On www.altivista.com there are numerous free online language translation sites. Do a search by typing the word "translate" and the language that you want to translate from. Fly! fans who don't speak or read French can still visit www.simvol.org ,copy a block of text and translate it from French to English (or some other language). Here's the site that I have used. http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trBlake
