Here is how I make day and night models out of Vins and Haralds models!First I start off with the original tiff file and the new textures Im using. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/72061.jpg With Photoshop I make the day texture and then out of the day texture I make a night texture. Note how I have renamed each tiff file.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/72063.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/72064.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/72065.jpgI change/rename the original xxxx.smf file.Then copy it change/rename it to xxxxn.smfSo now you have 2 new .smf files in your models folder and 2 new .tiff files in your art folder. Remember to open the .smf files and chan…

If I TerraScene an area, then remove the TerraScenery, is it still possible to add an airport without the runway headings being messed up?? I tried to add in 93B (Stonington, ME) but keep getting the Magnetic heading as 314 deg instead of 250 deg... Or could it be my import of a few buildings with FSImport playing havoc with my heading? Is there some sort of order to to inputting an airport into the databases before one adds a runway... i.e. should one do the airport pod first, DEXimport it, then comm/dex import, then runway, etc??Und... if I have a runway 07/25, is it listed as having two runways, or one? :-hmmmMany thanks!Ken Wood :-sun1http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly…

Hi all !I just managed to download all the files for "Floridas Terrascene Project for Fly!", namely the files from 1of10 upto 7of10.But i cant find 8of10, 9of10 and 10of10 !I think they have to exist somewhere, because the other files already got counted in that special way, but where ????Thank you for your patience, i'm new to this material, but i also used the search function and didnt get any answers.Greets from Austria,Fred

How can we turn the thunderstorm lighting ON, using the SDK ?The SWeather structure, used in APIGetWeatherInfo() and APISetWeatherInfo(), does not contain the lighting option.

Hello,Does anybody knows how to program adventures with the ABL SDK. The information in the SDK help is very short.I would like to know how to develop a simple adventure with the SDK for FS2004.Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,I need someone's help. I began installing Fly! Ontario Scenery and now have messed up my Simflyers Toronto Scenery. Admittedly, I did not read the instructions carefully, nor had a fully understanding of what I was doing. Very dumb!!I am using FS2002. I burned all my photos and documents and did a complete System Recovery using the CDs I received when I purchased the computer. This, still has not fixed the problem.The problem is as follows:The Simflyers Airport is still there. The buildings and other features are still there.However, the taxiways signs, gates, and who-knows-what-else are missing. I thought by completing a System Recovery that this would solve…

Just a note to let anyone who is interested know that I uploaded some tinkered UI windows last night. They are the "Directory" and "Navigation Log" windows which I have added column titling information. I tend to use the internal flight planner infrequently, and when I do, I forget what some of the information means. For experienced users it may be of little use, but newbies might find it a help. Anyway give it a try if you like, and let me know how you find this very small addition to FlyII.You'll find them in the FlyII Navigation section of the file library titled "fplantitles.zip"Ken:-cool

When I light up the guages, I get guages with light streaks accross.Since this is a custom guage, I can only assume that there is some inconsistency between the pbm and raw file combination. Can anyone shed some light on this puzzle?tony

I am in the process of designing an aircraft panel and find that the process is made much easier by utilizing bits and pieces of 3D panels designed for other aircraft by other designers and perhaps from other flight sims (MSFS & X-Plane for example). My question is, what are the legal issues with this approach? Are these panels under copyright and if so, how do I go about getting approval for their use and alteration?This issue also arises with flight systems. I take it that using existing default FlyII gauge and panel systems is allowed, but what about utilizing systems designed by others. For example, the PMDG777 PFD is far closer to a real 737 PFD than the exis…

Has anybody found a way of using Just Flight's VFR scenery for the UK in Fly II ?

What is the use and parameters actions ?

Hi everbody... just a quick question. I've downloaded Truespace V3.2 so I could have a go at designing aircraft for FlyII. But it would appear that it does not export a model as S3d. Is there a way to convert .cob models to .s3d format. IF anyone could give me some advice on this, i'd be most thankful.Jason Briggs.

Hi!I'm playing around with the statement so I can use the external model. While this works OK with non-scrollable panels, with the main one, the model quickly disappears, especially when the panel size is almost 2000x2000. The only way to avoid this is by removing the .pnl file in the .pit file and everything gets nicely centered again. It seems like some setting in the pnl file has some relationship with the .cam files...I'm wondering if you've ran across any documentation about additional parameters that can be used in the .CAM file. The ones I'm already aware of are (displays the 3D model), (offsets the view of the helicopter's rotor), (reduces the scroll rate at w…

Good evening All,A few questions for the SDK experts : - How can I pilot gear up/down of an AI aircraft created by APICreateFlyObject( ) ?- How to turn the strobe/nav lights ON on these AI ?Could someone explain me the differences between the 2 functions :APISetObjectBodyVelocity( ) and APISetObjectInertialVelocity( )All this is for squawkbox enhancement of course :-)Thanks

Hello again,I noticed shortly after uploading all the files that all but two scenery packs had their images removed. What gives? Anyone completed a global tile yet? Wayne has just started releasing airports for the Gold Coast and they look awesome!JamesHmmm... Tastes Like Chicken!

of the Caravelle on AVSim Library, I would like to inform all betatesters and the curious that the Caravelle Final v 1.0 is at the usual link I provided before. **Take warning as the link will not exist as soon as AVSim releases the file to the general public.

Hi Ken!A guy posts some great ressources for many airplane interiors at X-Plane.orgI found one for the Learjet, possibly useful for your project:http://www.x-plane.org/Detailed/5093.shtmlSearch the autor's name for more. Don't know where he finds all that good stuff!Cheers!Pascal

I created a small terramodel project for kisp (just two buildings). I saved it as isp.tm (naturally). When I try to package it I get the error "-missing D:flyIIisp.rsp". Can anybody help?Thanks

G'day all,After 3 solid days of trying I have finally managed to get my first two models into Fly! II :-jumpy BUT, geez, in the process I must have had every possible error message conceivable. :-)My question is a very simple one. If I have a jpg graphic in Photoshop, what do I have to do to get 3dsMax to recognise it as a material in the material library?Attached is the fruits of my effort so far. Cheers,Roger @YSSY

Hello, Anyone up for a seaplane? I pictched the Mallard a little while back. The Goose is a smaller, more affordable and economical to operate seaplane. I do not know how to make them, nor have the time to do it within 5 years but I'd love to help if anyone else has the know how and is willing to take such a task on.JamesHmmm... Tastes Like Chicken!
