Could someone tell me how to animate for FLY2. The alelerons and wheel etc... in truespace 5.If someone woudl like to do it for me and make screenshots,it is a Cessna 152 Also if I use truespace 1 it doesn't crash with a "muliple" part file but in truespace 5 if the plane has its parts named it crash's.

Hi folks,A little preview of my local haunt, EGHP, aka Popham, home of the skew-wiff approach patterns!URL is: http://www.clubhouse.flyer.co.uk/eghpI built it on a Fly!II green-field site ;-)1) GPS readings to get the runways etc...2) Airport and runway dexes made...3) Flattenator to get the place up to 550 ft amsl4) Months of flying to do custom arial photography :-rotor 5) TM build6) Additional 'FOD' at the field ;-)Not quite finished though.A question...Is it possible to have a python script 'know' what the wind direction is, and then rename an unpoded file to a given name.eg wind is from west therefore rename teesquare-260.jpg toeghp-teesquare.jpg, which is of course …

Hi Another question from me!How can I make transparant Glass for the outside model so you can see pilots sitting in the cockpit? I have assigned the window part of the plane beginning with an L to make it transparant but when it shows up in Fly it's more like white and you can't see actually that it is glass. It seems there is no window! So how can I make a glass texture?Cheers

Hi AllI need some infos on aircraft making. What to call the parts, how to animate, how to get into FLY2 (Static and FLYable) ectHenrik

Anyone know a good way to convert out of DXF to a format like 3ds for FLY2 without getting a million polygons which your parts are no longer selected as one peice but now 10. Im using truespace 5Justin

As a real world piloti hve a useful tool called an A>F>D: airport facility directory.Go to your local pilot shop and get the most updated versionit will have taxiwy/runway diagrams as well as building placements, and what the buildings are named just for yor info, hopes this helps ! Jeff Akins

I have an aircraft which works fine as a flyable airplane within Fly!II. However, whenever the model is selected as an AI aircraft, Fly!II crashes with an access violation error.I'm trying to understand what Fly!II does that's different for AI aircraft but I haven't figured it out yet.To try narrowing it down, I've removed all custom subsystems and gauges so my dlls are not the problem.I've removed all other aircraft from the aircraft folder. This was to make sure it wasn't a conflict with other aircraft gauge names etc.If I start Fly!II with no AI aircraft selected, it defaults to my aircraft and I can look around inside and out, fly, use standard switches etc.If I selec…

Hello peopleCan somebody explain how to make needles and how to import them into the data files? I have created some needles in a pbg format but when you read the data files the needle refer to a .ndl file which I can't find into my art directory maybe there are some developers willing to help me out?Take care :-wave

The background image disappeared when I tried to move the runways and when I close the program and restart there

Try to use the program last night and upon import the data runtime exeption error came up and exit Fly2.I would like to create small hill close to my country airport, understand that Flattenator can do it , pls can someody reconfirm for safety sake.Any info will appreciatebest reagrds to allCesar/Vnezuela

How do I convert an .acm to a File format 3d Studio Max(R3) will recognise? Then, how do I get it back to .acm?Thanks!http://flytsim.itgo.com/sigi.jpg

I am still having problems with FlySlice, I have managed to get it to slice within TerraScene, but now it slices and stops responding prior to podding a file. I have managed to get 2.25 GB free with data files of the tile I am podding. It is strange I am one of very few having this problem.I try to manualy pod a file and get an error before I can even select the files to POD!Any other program I can use to POD like GlobalTile, or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.AMD Athalon 1.4 GHZNividia GForce 2 MX400 64MB Video512 MB PC133 SDRAMWindows 2002XPRichard;

Hi All,I've just uploaded the first Beta of TerraShape to my site.In case you missed the first post the other day, it is basically a shapefile->dxf->shapefile translator.This allows editing in the dxf stage.There are no special requirements to run it - nor is there an install program - yet :-)It *should* run on any platform, no special libraries are needed other than the 2 it ships with.The zip contains the manual, so you don't need that as well.Hope you find it usefulColinMy Site

Hi everybody, I'm trying to make some photoreal scenery from orthophotos but the fly editor text-info files require that the coords be in Latitude/Lontigude format. On the other hand the geo-referenced files accompanying the photos contain a different coordinate system. I found a file ("flycopm.zip")in the Av-Sim library to make the conversion (although I'm not sure it would convert to the orthoimages format) but it wouldn't start, asking for a missing .dll. Although I managed to dig this .dll up from my VB6 libraries and copyed it into the windows system dir the program still wouldn't start stating 'class no registered 'etc. All in All I couldn't use this utility. So, c…

I recently downloaded the AA727-200. I understand how to use the POD tool for viewing pod files. The file I downloaded for the AA727-200 is a EPD .file. Can I open this file with the POD file viewer and select all then extract to FlyII directory in order to have this as a aircraft in my Aircraft directory? Will this convert the epd file to a pod file? TonyWhy Oh ....

HiI have been adding some navigation aids to the database with voledit and have a few questions...A number of the navaids have a type of 24 which is a combined DME and NDB according to the database tutorials. How is this possible given that a DME and an NDB use different frequencies and receivers and only one frequency is possible in the database.I solved that problem by splitting the entry into two entries, one each for the NDB (type 8) and the DME (type 16). This worked OK and allowed me to tune both frequencies and get ADF and DME information.My problem is that if I tune NAV2 for the DME frequency, the RMI NAV2 needle swings to point at the DME. As DMEs don't provid…

Well after finding no answer to my problem with Fly2Slice, I am getting some CDRW's today and backing up my many Gigs of work, and saying BYBY to Fly!2. Seems strange that this happened after after many tile projects, but after Uninstaslling and reinstalling Fly!2.1.230 and TerraScene.2.1, I am at a loss as where to go, so I will be removing Fly!2. The sad part is I have enjoyed it for the most part, but when the main reason why I enjoy fly stops working, why bother with the hard drive space.Richard

Kinda quiet here tonight.... But I'm curious about something. Has anyone came up with the ability to place runways? There are alot of the smaller airports across the the Usa and I'm sure across the world that havent got existing runways in FlyII. I remember someone mentioning back in the early days of the Beta test that they were working on this. I havent messed around with Terrascene very much. Are you able to do this with Terrascene? I would like to place a runway at small airport where I lived for nearly 26 years. There is a actual runway there but it isnt implemented in FlyII. This is why I' asking. TonyWhy Oh .... Why cant I ????FlyII! ver. 2.30Directx 8.1nVidia driv…

I just installed 2.1 and it went through the PODs but in trying twodifferent scenery areas, this same message comes up as it starts to build up the scenery. I used 2.0 with no problem, went away from FLYfor a while and now I'm back... but the Terrascene seems to be prettyuseless without the HITW textures.... is there ANY way to get them?HITW had a post on April 19 or so about putting out a new pack, but that was a month ago and the post said "in the next few days"....Any work around?

Tks for your advised on Taxiway, finnaly I can see it now.I have 2 question.1.-In the process of creating my project every time that I move the cursor the runway disappear and the taxiway stay.What can I do for this, 2.-Can Terramodel use Biber's models and how is recognize.3. If I create a terramodel for personal use, can I change it later to uploading in avsim.tks n' rgdsCesar

I only learned about this site a few weeks ago and its been great.I have fly 2 K and recently began to dwld a few planes and that was pretty easy(considering my limited expertise).When I tried to dwld the c-130, I got an error code in trying to play the sim. So I posted elsewhere here and it was suggested that I get the SDK patch. Well I got it this morning and followed instructions, but I still cannot get the SDK patch to dwld correctly. The computer says that setup completed but the 1.01.88 didnt work. Any tips?Also, I tried using SKY which came with the software but get a code with that too.I admit it, I don't know much, but I hope you knowledgeable folk can help …
