Hi Guys,Does any of you fellow flyers know what the digits relate to in the KLP sound files.eg. 1 20344 0Any help or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advanceJohn

First, I'm learning the Gmax to make the airplane, but hassome questions of Gmax now!Question:1.How to do in Gmax, and the model has highlight effect inFs2002?2.How to do in Gmax, and the Virtual Cockpit view can viewthe wing in FS2002?Thanks for fly fans!

I'm wondering how to produce an object Terramodels can place as a border, the same way fences are done.For airports with forest areas around the boundary, it would be nice to make a "fence" out of trees. You could have a realistic-looking forest edge with few polygons.In pro sims by FlightSafety, forests are made like buildings, with tree images for walls and roofs. Forests of individual tree models are used for helicopter/military low-level sims requiring maneuvers between trees and hovering.I'd be happy just to produce 2D forest treelines like fences, without worrying about 3D construction with roofs. Just don't know how long Terramodels expects a fence segment to be…

Hello all,I was wondering if you could generate scenery on a computer that does not have Fly!II installed? Reason, I have DSL at my office, If it works I could save hours of time spent downloading at home. I do not have a computer at my office with the graphics ability for Fly!II so I have not loaded it there.Anyone that has tried this, please tell me if it worked.Zane

Hi AllThere is a new build of TerraShape on my site now.This build adds the capability to extract the default coastline to a dxf line file.The purpose of this function is to allow the creation of a ponetp-style file. If the default coastline is good (as in most cases) or has been edited to make it good, then by using the extracted coastline polyline file you will mirror the underlying scenery exactly.This will be especially useful when TerraScening areas such as Jeck's modified Loire valley :)ColinMy Hangar Site

Hello all,In the latest sales brochures for the Raytheon/Beech King Air 200/350 they show the Universal UNC 1 mounted in the center console between the seats above the pressurization controls. The EFIS controls are also in this same console mounted above the autopilot controls. I was wondering if it would be possible to take the Universal FMS used in the Peregrine (Hawker 800) and mount it into the King Air panel? If anyone knows how to do this or knows of a file that this has already been done, please let me know.Zane

I have noticed that the KMA24 audio panel in the Flyhawk and Pilatus (and ROTW's PA28) work fine but the same instrument used in the Malibu and Navajo (also used in ROTW's TBM) won't allow switching to a different mic source. Is there a fix posted somewhere or is there a way to fix it myself. I am going online to look for a panel modifying program compatible with FlyII after writing this.Thanks in advance... I'm really loving this program! Downloaded and tried out C4TO lastnight, so far very nice.Zane

I have a Fly!2K aircraft with a totally inoperable wing de-icing system. The pitot and window systems work fine. I also know that this problem will never be fixed by the original developers, so I will have to fix this myself if possible. How can I fix this single system?Mac Fly!2K with SDK update

is there a .dll or something similar, that exposes the fly! state variables to external programs, like fsuipc does?jd

I realize that the final file format for objects in Fly!2 is .smf, but, is there a way to import this object format for editing in ANY program?

How can I get the Fly! Editor to create 8x8 detail elevations?I've tried importing the Terrascene project RAS output, with 8X8 detail setting, and subdivide of both 0 and 1. Neither yeilded any elevations greater than 4x4. What Im trying to do is import the RAS file from a terrascenery project so that the FULL file is 8x8 detail tiles. I want to be able to copy/paste the 8x8 detail tiles for areas that I am flattening near airports.

Hello all,I just installed Fly II and Terrascene 2.1. The wizard is asking for a file called fly2slice.exe, but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help me out? Should it be in my Fly 2 folder or on the Fly 2 CD?Thanks,Scott

Check the main Terminal on the pic...I have attached a thin, long element (a spline converted to mesh)to simulate the wooden beams carrying the roof. They are attached just on the outside of the side walls.My problem is all the wooden plates are blinking when I see the scenery from a distance, and for some weird reason I see this most often from looking North, looking South is OK. In the pic you can see the beam is distorted, looking East this time...Is there a solution to stop this blinking? Hope so, it is so much easier attaching the wood as elements, instead of fighting it into the main texture...Well if you help me out on this one I`ll give you this airport for free :…

I have made a Terra Scene of the Detroit Metro Airport using the default settings and 10 miles hoping to not get to Canada. I was not successful and still get the White rectangle on the other side of the Detroit River.Is any one doing a photo realistic scenery of Michigan?

Does anyone know what the gestalt flags are?I know in 2000 rich posted them here in the AVSIM forums... but for the life of me, after countless searches of both the old and new forums, I can not find them.What im trying to do is animate a night-time model. Basically I want to create a flashing obstruction light. I also want to create a replacement beacon head, which is visible from far out.I've tried every manipulation I can think of, trying to get it to work. I know one of the gestalt flags in 2k involved something to the effect of 'item needs a timeslice' which i believe had to do with .arm animations. Anyone know anything about creating an animated model?Thanks,Bra…

Ok, Im confused.I thought I thoroughly understood lat/lon conversion formulas. I still think I have them right, because the database work I've done all lined up great... but I notice I cant teleport below 85

I downloaded Rob Vigetti's "Default Aircraft Fixes" POD that includes center posts for all the aircraft. In general, they really increase the "feel". But on the Pilatus, the sun visor's, I think, take up too much room on the front windows, reducing overall visibility.I am a "newby" on using Photoshop Elements - its the only graphics package I have. But I've never attempted to edit a panel, or anything so complex. My goal is to keep the centerposts and overhead portions of the panel Rob has created, but to remove (or drastically diminish the size of) the sun visors. I could use some help (or alternatively, if someone wants to take on this project, it'll be great.Here is Ro…

I've looked at the fly2 cloud textures and tried unsuccesfully to reduce the size of the textures. FLY2 will simply not recognize them. My thought was to reduce to 120x128 so that they would not tax the video card as much. Any ideas?tony

Does anyone know what causes this?Here is a problem I have been having with Big Bear Lake, CA. In the foreground is the lake, the furthest portion of which we are seeing through. Behind that, the mountains which surround the lake. (In other words, all I should see here, is the mountains at the top, and the lake.)http://home.earthlink.net/~scissors2/fly/s...ns/fly!0017.jpgWhen I slew up, you can see, the mountains which were partially visible through the lake, are in distant background. http://home.earthlink.net/~scissors2/fly/s...ns/fly!0018.jpgHere, at CCB there is a hill in between me and the airport youre seeing in the distance. I see this problem all the time with…

I want to experiment with lowering the texture of the default clouds to see how they look while improving frame rates. I know that they end up in the ART folder; I simply would like to know in which pod they are stored. thanks.tony

Allen,I have now succeeded in placing a texture layer below the runway and taxiways. I generated this with the TM21_256.POD installed and I believe that this resulted in a 256x256 texture for the polygon. Will this cause any problems for those using the TM21_128.POD, or will it even be a requirement that the TM pod be installed as the texture file will be in the Art folder? http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3e8bbdea7f4ed507.jpg

Hi RogerI was looking forward to your YSSY scenery.I live in Cairns QLD.I would be happy to buy a CD if that is OK with you.Looking forward to it.Does it iclude Vin's excellent models of the harbour bridge and the opera house?Kind RegardsAlfred

Look at the picture. The gates on the right are OK. The gates on the left you can see through all of them. In Max, I used a single-sided transparent (with an Alpha channel, tga), and on the rest of the glass sections I have used a double-sided texture. Sometimes this happens, sometimes not...What can I do to avoid this? Do I have to make the transparent parts double-textured as well, or must force the material to be two-sided?Arrgghh what a mess this is...

HiFor those that are interested, there is a new build of TerraShape uploaded to my hangar site.This build fixes a bug in the creation of larger gtp files and hopefully will eliminate the discrepancies found with different flavours of dxf file.There are also a couple of new functions :)ColinMy Hangar Site
