The Flight Unlimited Series

Firstly: That sulu "easter egg" always get's a chuckle out of me.Looking at the fbo keyboard peaked my curiousity. Before the fokker addition, there were 3 open key hooks. Following the fokker add, there were 2 hooks left open. Does this mean "out-of-the-box" Flt2 came expandable for 3 total aircraft only?As a test, I copied and edited the fokker.res. Here's a screeny as the "new" fokker appears in Flt2 Santa Rosa(fkkrBL). Oh boy that model needs re-mapped. What I could not figure out is where in the plnpile is the "ignition key" texture. Any of you all know? It needs editing.I edited File 66 to rename plane, file 29 to edit the silly pilot head(it also changed the ho…

Robert and I have been working on some new buildings and I just noticed that they had reached the library. However, there's been a mistake and the SanFran palette day versions are missing. As it stands you'll find night versions (same for all regions), Seattle versions and SanFran night versions. In other words, one set of night versions too many and no SanFran day version :-(There will be more buildings soon and I intend to make versions for both palettes including a night version of each building. What I'm hoping for is a renewed interest in creating packages -- building packages that is. As the readme states, even though airports are "taken" we can always add buildings…

Hi All,here is ModelBrowser beta version - a tool making a list of each fu3 .bin model file, extracting all information as each material with bitmap name and resource file number for the models inside .res files.happy Easter Weekend :-wave agtim

this is my first FLTDNSTY manipulation :-) http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/MOONEY21.JPG http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/MOONEY22.JPG http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/MOONEY23.JPGThere will be a Mooney Package for the library soon :-) :-wave agtim

the MODELS.RES file contains all definition about AIs. You can modify models and texture using ResViewer but change of the model allocation and selection and text updates of the description was not possible until now.With AITableViewer this task is easy and you can create new models.res version even with new planes.This is a first beta version of it and here a result of a text and model change. http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/AITV4.JPGand here is the tool: http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/aitv1.jpg http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/aitv2.jpg http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/aitv3.jpg :-wave agtim

Hi to everyone.Im Jamie and I've just discovered this website. Now that I have I dont think there will be much need for any other. Scrolling through all the forums (especially for FU3) has me foaming at the mouth and will probably result in a few late nights and excuses to the boss when I arrive late in the mornings!I have no formal flying experience but have been glued to FU3 since receiving it as a pressie at Christmas. I love reading about aviation and perhaps one day I will approach my local aerodrome with a view to gaining a PPL. One thing I've learnt is its never too late.FU3 is a wonder to play and although at first I would get occasional crashes to the desktop thi…

RobD,Any thorts on why I get squair weels after converting the Robert Driscolltruk to the Seattl palel useing your Fix-Mip?Your computer transport bisines wont get far on squair weels.glidernut.

I made a beautiful warehouse last night.So I invited my wife over to show her.`"Look, I've made a warehouse.""That's nice. Another warehouse. Oh, look at the trucks!""Yes, but isn't it a nice warehouse?""Hmmm. Did you make the trucks?""No, Jon made them."So I invite favourite son over."Look at this beautiful new building.""Oh, I like the trucks. Are they yours?""No, go away."OK, scrap the warehouse, resolve never to put another truck in the scenery.Congrats Jon, you made some very nice models there.

Dear All,May be a bit scarce for a week on so - I'm off to China tomorrow ;)Supposedly, the hotel has broadband so I'll try to pop up if I can! Should be back ~3rd April - maybe we can finally get a chat going?:-waveRegards,Jon PointGlide Distance: Too much if you're high, not enough if you're low...

The Mooney has 2 versions of sideview with the wings.res file 149/151 for the left side and 153/155 for the right.In CockpitDesigner they are referenced as Day Unlit and Day Lit.This must be connected to the J-Key to lit the panel on/off.You can see the light going on/off in the sideviews but the wing will never change !?! It's always 149 and 153. 151 and 155 are never displayed in the game - or how ?Do you know the key or action or connection to activate this view ?I wanted to paint the speed brake up and down in the sideview. The original mooney has identical 149/151 picture but I update one of it and so realized that the second is never selected exept by cockpitDesigne…

Like Andy, Ihaven't been around for a while and am not doing much with FU3 at the moment. But then glidernut sent me this amazing new craft.Its not completed yet (work in progress signs all over it), but once again it breaks the limits of what we could do before (well not 'we' - I couldn't build a plane although I once tried to get a blue police box to fly). What does this plane do that's different? Its got opening doors! Now that's neat, I thought we couldn't have doors in FU3, but glidernut has again proved me wrong, and with his permission as a sort of pre-publicity he's let me release some pics. So here goes.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/143842.jpgFlying with the…

Hi Tom,Wondering if you've heard any more from our fearless co-leader, ol Bob 'Flybert'?:-wavePete

Hi,Got a new mobo, and processor. With bfg6200oc set to AA: 4x and Anis: 16x. Screen is @ 75mhz, 1152x864x32. I've got ground texture shimmering and little jaggies. You all know what would be the best settings for this card? I'll sort through the "lines in cockpit views" thing later.WinXpPro, MSI-k8t, amd64 3000+(soccckeet754), dx9c, 2g ddr400, bfg6200oc-256(driver 81.98).(dis-appointed with frames rates though. Barely only 1 or 2 improvement over my v5500pci+ amd 1.44).JimB

Last August at Locarno Magadino Airport LSMO I take a picture of a real Mooney and now the new livery is finished and ready for upload. http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/MooneyP1.jpgHere is the new Player Mooney HB-DIL at Locarno LSMO in FU3 Switzerland - real view at the bottom. http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/images/MooneyP2.jpg3 Mooney's at once upper left the new high res. AI plane as a replacement for the current one at the upper right is the original player Mooney and in the foreground a static model of it. At the bottom left the new player Mooney HB-DIL and the static model at the right.There will be a Mooney Package for the library soon :-) :-wave agtim

Hello all new to forums just got back in to playing FU3 downloaded some stuff the Readme file says to unzip to Packages Folder says if you do not have one you need to create one well I do not have one could someone explain how to create one an where it,goes,ANY HELP IS APRECIATED:-)

I am sorry I havent been around for a long time and could spend pages listing the good and bad reasons why, but I wont bore you with the details. However, glad to see things are still alive and kicking.I have just installed both FU3 (original) and UKS, totally seperate installs, on a new PC and all works well apart from I have no sound. This happens in both versions. The whirring engines at the begining is ok but then after about 30 seconds, nothing, not even the "thumps" when clicking on the menu selections.Anyone have any ideas?I am also so way behind on my install of UKS so if anybody has an up to date copy I would be grateful if you could send me a copy, expenses paid…

OK, I giv up, how do I paint a propeler?Im working on a Vidilanl motorglider, "see snapshot" and Iv given it a propeler, but how do I paint it, and make it a bit smaller?Im useing the Stemme motorglider,s physics, but nuthing in physics seemto has a visual efect on the propeler.How do I find or recogniz which file to export from the stemme res?And how do I edit the file when Iv found it?Is there enyone prepaird to do it for me?It needs to be black and wight like the second snapshot.glidernut.

UK South elevation new release including Heathrow and London City60% of the UKS region are now working with the new NASA SRTM elevation with real values in the 64m FU3 grid. The full range west to east from London up to the north bound of the region. Duxford position has been raised to the real elevation of 144ft and even the Pepperton Hill in the back of the runway is visible as in reality.

Hi folks,After searching around on here and trying the nomovie tip and eventually downloading the Indeo Codecs I still can't get FU3 to run without crashing and showing the old "FU3 has encountered a problem and needs to close" box. It's really bugging me.I have the orginal LG version and have just reinstalled after a long absence.I managed to get the movie to play but after it finishes that's when I get the error box now. It does the same thing even with the nomovie line in the .cfg file.Any ideas please? I run a Sony A117S laptop with ATI Radeon 9700 graphics on board. I updated using the Version 2 patch already.

Thanos,I started a new thread for this."So far so good. Just a note. When the blade reaches the sound barrier it starts "not operating" effciently correct? That means not producing the thrust that an "ideal" blade would produce at equal RPM (therefore its not a noise issue)."Yes, there is some loss but the blade isn't exceeding the sound barrier, just the tips (as they are further away from the axis of rotation, they have to travel further for each revolution). The optimal speed for a prop varies with design but most performance prop aircraft and, in fact, many light aircraft can easily 'get a whine' at full power. "This is realy a pitty, from a modeling point of view (a…

I have just uploaded a second update to my SanFran 2006 pack. This includes two new runway models for Byron Municipal airport (courtesy of Jon Point), and taxiway modifications at several other airports in the region.Chris Low.PS. Please note the "two new runway models for Byron" part above. They were supposed to be in SanFran 2006 itself !! :-eek

Hello AllI am new to AVSIM in general, so a big hello to all of you...I think that you are doing a great job with this website here.I received FU-III as a Christmas gift and it turned out to be one of the best "games" i have ever played.The point is that i can not get the P-51 off the ground no matter what. Initially i thought that this was a problem off runway length so instead of taking of from Jefferson county, i took off from 34L on BFI. The situtation improved slightly...I think that the main problem is that i do not have control over the feathering on the P-51. The manual (pdf accompanying the CDs of the game) is not very helpful and searching around for "hot spots"…

I recently bought and downloaded flight videos ,featuring- Pilatus PC12,and Piper Meridian. Both are well worth it . goto web site www.flightvideoproductions.comThe King Air will be next one .I also made a DVD from video files I downloaded to play on any DVD player .Maybe someone would like to build one of these. The turbo is quite different as the rpm's stay the same and you vary the torque.CaptRolo
