FLY Developer's Forum

Hi, Guys,..............I really need you help here.For the life of me I cannot get my aircraft ICON to show up in the FLY aircraft window. I started by UN-Podding the Hawker and have amended the nessessary files (.SIT, .NFO, .LOD). I am using all the existing Hawker files (No Panel changes) and just want to connect Giorgios 737 (with my Livery) upto the HAWKER system files so it shows up in the Window so I can select it.All the ACM files have been renamed and attached to the relevant system files and the correct LIVERY tif and ICON pbm have been placed in the ART folder.HELP!..........This is driving me NUTS!!Obviously.............. search pod file are set to 0 in the i…

Does anyone know where I can find the 707 that was in the file library for Fly II?

Is Peter Jacobson's Taxiway version 1.0 the latest and,if so, does it require any alteration to the instructions in the RMT for FlyII?:-beerchug

Hi All,I did a bit of terrascene work for FLY! 2k using terrascene 2.0. All worked well and the scenery was beautiful. I tried to load Terrascene 2.1 so that I could make the scenery for FLY! 2 and see how it looks there. I am using the same shape files as before and I tried to use the same segments as before and then I tried again without using the same segments. I get the following error whilst it is trying to render. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.Also saved projects get an error. And these are created with Terrascene 2.1. Something about the sun???!!??!??!All help is appreciatedPatrick Martinhttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/15479.jpg

Are there a lot of geographical features missing from the default fly2 scenery library? I ask because as a resident of South Central PA. my home airports would be kcxy, kmdt, and kseg. One prominent feature missing from the scenery of my home area is the Susquehanna River which is pretty notable in the central region of PA and it isn't there in Fly 2. Can Terrascene handle a modification like that where I could add this specific river myself? It sort of elludes me how such a prominate terrain feature as the principle contributor to the Chesapeake Bay could have been overlooked especially since Austin Meyer knows of it as does Mr. Gate's team.

Is there any comparable program to Microsofts Auto-gen for adding 3D buildings, objects, and trees to the Fly 2 scenery?

Again, I'm making an attempt to TerraScene my area using a PC at work to use with Fly! II on my Mac at home. During the process of rendering the scenery, I get the following error message: caught exception downloading http://www.wingswithwires.com:8080/7.5min/..._NH.sdts.tar.gzFollowed by this error:exception=java.net.ConnectionException: Connection refused: connect, Connection refused: connect... will retry in 5 seconds... retrying.This is as far as I can get and I haven't got a clue what the error message means or what to do.

Hy,As a mac user, fed-up to see many good things that i can't use, and i really don't want to go PC even if i really like Fly2I was wondering if, after reading some tuorials, i could transpose pc dll and make them work with my fly 2 mac.So it would be nice from you if you can tell me how can i proceed to make it.Thanks PacPM G3 B/W OS 9.2.2/10.2.6450 MHz, 512 SDRAMPCI ATI Readon 7000 ProPM

Doing my first repaint and was surprised at how innacurate the FLY! version is regards its sheetmetal. I have not found enough close up photos on the web, especially of the tail section and aft fuselage. Does the plane actually have rivets that are viewable? It doesn't appear so for the pressurized portion or nose but the rear fuselage might. Send the pics to [email protected]. I have DSL so size is no worry. Thanks!! JamesHmmm... Tastes Like Chicken!

Hi all developers,Just posted new sceney tips in the General forum, FAQ section :)

Is it possible to use terrascene with black and white aerial photos to create scenery.If so, how does one colour the B&W scenery?

Hello Everyone,I've got two questions today. I'd like to do a repaint of the Pilatus and possibly attempt a new aircraft from scratch. I thought there were some tutorials out there but cannot find them. The new aircraft would be the G-73 Mallard. I have no idea where to start or how long it would take. Never done it before and if its tougher then good scenery to do I just might have to wait for FLY! III!Next, When starting the game I modified the fly.ini for the startup aircraft, runway and airport. Can I specify exactly where on the tarmac the plane will be? At KPBI, if you're a private craft you're parking is on the SE side of the airport and for realism's sake I…

I recall a post a while back regarding a beta version of a panel program for placing gauges in Fly!II. I am unable to find that post now (possibly removed?). Can anyone give some information or a link for more information. Actually I am looking to incorporate the EFIS displays and controls from the Pilatus into the King Air panel and the FMS out of the Hawker into the King Air's pedestal. Don't know if it will work but a visual program that would allow such things would be a real time saver over *.pnl editing then trying out the results.Zane

Hy.I want to make a scenary that will cover a part of my region (Paris) and to to enhance the small airport that's in the city i live and then upload it if it's looks great.And i want it to be very realistic, making the different stuff that i'll ad by myself.So do you know were i can find a good tutorial, that'll explain step by step the process if that is existing.Or telling me the softwares i have to download and what i have to read.ThanksPac

I have installed terramodels and am now unable to select one of the buildings from the FlyII scenery editor without it crashing to desktop. The vehicles, windsock,and towers still function.Is there a way around this problem or does one have to decide either to use the Fly scenery editor or terramodels?:-hmmm

HiHas anyone been able to use the GTOPO30 dem file viewer by Ashley Ruaux under XP?I recall using it under previous OSs (98, ME etc.) but it won't run for me on XP. I get a memory and/or commdlg32 error mesage.It's not a huge problem as plenty of other apps will display the data but there were some useful tools in there.Colin

It doesn't seem to include the folder (directory) in the POD. Am I doing anything wrong?I drag the folder I want to POD into the program. I enter the information. I click GENERATE POD. The POD is generated, but when I open the POD, no FOLDER information is present.Without the folder information, the POD really can't be used.I don't think I'm overlooking anything, but what am I missing?Jeff

Hello, Can anyone tell me how can I add, step by step, a newrunway (I know the coordinates, the position, the pavimenttype, the size,... everything!) in a new place, not in anexisting airport?I tried to see in the scenery editor, read the manuals but...I coudn't understand how can I do it!there are no tutorials about it?I must have another software?I'm running a iMac 1Ghz - 768ram - System OSX 10.2.6Thank youAntonio Carmona

I know this might be a bit of a headache to do, but if I purchased the PMDG 757 or 777, could I use the associated files for the FMS and displays to make the corresponding gauges in the Hawker work? I've been looking into the files associated with the panels and as long as the panel files for the PMDG aircraft use a similar layout, I would think you could rewrite some of the Hawker's panel language to access the increased functionality that these payware products offered. Just a thought... if you think it too big a PAI (that's not Project AI!) tell me :)Zane

Hello again and thank you for all your input, I enjoy this site almost as much as the FlyII program.I have been trying to look into the files used in the ROTW's TBM700 EFIS display to discover why there is an exit to desktop when switching the Nav1 source. The Hawker has an EFIS with similar functionality and no glitches in Win2k/XP. I was curious if anyone else had looked into this and what their results had been.Zane

Hi Everyone, Can someone please explain what I need to do in order to create a Needle animation and also a Digit display (Heading). A while ago I seem to remember Matthew mentioning FLASH. Could someone please confirm this or point me to a tutorial.Many Thanks for any infoJohn

Gonna ask here too. I just installed Fly!II on my dad's iMac... 3 CD's worth! Wondered if all the charts he got would work on my PC and how I could go about getting them there. I have a USB zip-drive which worked to give him the patch and ROTW's TBM700.Zane

I can't seem to download any USGS pictures for the background images. Is anyone else having this problem?I've checked for a new version, but I have the latest version.Jeff

I use a CH USB Pro Yoke and would like to have the gear assignment to one of the toggles so that up is up and down is down. I can't find in the key assignment how to do this... only one for "landing gear" (each press cycles the gear) or "force gear down." Would it be a big PItA to make a file to accomplish this or has it already been done and I didn't use the right wording on a search?Zane
