The Flight Unlimited Series

No your vision isnt blurred!!!Combining another one of my interests (3D Photography)with my favourite sim, I loaded Nvidia's 61.77 drivers and 61.77 stereo drivers, put on my silly looking red and blue glasses and away I went.FU3 throws up a few funnies on some of the views and the framerate drops by 50%, but what the hell, those mountains sure have some depth to them.I have posted a few screenshots (sorry it also loses a bit of quality on the screenshots)flying around Half Moon Bay, so sit like a numpty (english slang) with your funny glasses (available from most good video rental stores) and add that extra dimension.Admittedly, the slow framerate and "eyestrain", not to…

Some time ago I mentioned that I had a slight problem with my standard FU3 installation. Every flight would start at San Jose and the plane would be a Piper, no matter where or what I'd been flying the last time. Well, the way the program exited was obviously to blame since the sim would CTD when exiting. Still, I could fly any aircraft out of any airport -- the CTD would only take place as I decided to close down.I found the reason. I'd been playing with Reiter's Baron. I liked the panel and decided to swap the aircraft model for Ansgar's new one. I also changed and edited some of the cockpit views. Everything looked honkey dory and it worked fine. Well, I just found tha…

Ok here are the "actual" colour 3D screenshots taken over North Wales.I have had to reduce the size and quality so I can download them, but I will put the full size / full resolution bmp files in the File library names as 3D Colour Wales.How come I never get the goodlooking co-pilot. :-)Andyhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/95774.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/95775.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/95776.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/95777.jpg

Hi,Working on my flight hours. Logged a flight plan in Ansgar's beautiful 747 with Virgin Atlantic skin; Phoenix to Seattle.Replacing the fuel pump on my car whilst auto-pilot is doing the flight. Nice to be able to step out of the cockpit and stretch a leg.Flights supposed to be 2ish hours. Weather is "Fair weather cloudy".You all take care,JimB.

Its on a green back ground. So select all the green, then invert your selection and then copy and paste to your nav map.If you want it black; flood fill with black after inverting the selection.JimB

I got sucked into a crisis at work. Been working 12 hours days all week and have been way too tired to worry about chat transcripts and such like.Hans & Chris,I'll get the transcript out to you within an hour or so.Cristian,I know I owe you mail... don't rightly remember about what... but I'll get to it this evening or tomorrow morning.Jon,I'll be glad to send you a copy of the transcript but I have about 3 e-mail addresses for you... none of which seems to work. Please drop me a mail with a good address and I'll get it out to you.Daniel Biosca,Did you receive my mail? (meaning both kinds)Anybody I missed?

Last weekend I had the opportunity to take a flight with a JU-52 from Zuerich Duebendorf to the Swiss Alpes and back.Here a F4 cockpit view http://www.agtim.ch/turnout/JU52Cockpit.jpgmore pictures as a free screensaver at http://www.agtim.ch/turnout/PanoJU52.htmlA very nice plane still not in FU3... :-wave agtim

Hi,I've been off the 'net since my monitor had failed(3ish months ago). Finally got a monitor. Had been dropping in via local town library but their "no cookies" policy prevented me from logging on here at Avsim.You all take care,JimB

Firstly, do not read the following message as it contains confidential information about NOT PUBLICLY RELEASED AIRCRAFT.IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR YOU HAVE READ TOO FAR, AND MUST IMMEDIATELY TAKE A SEVEN YEAR VOW OF SILENCE.Took off for a bit of a flight around Sandown last night (after a very savage and desperate fight with a rampant virus that had attacked my computer with a machete and cleaver) in a butcher bird. This is a very clever 'plane' developed by Jon, but never released on AVSIM. It was quite an experience - you drift along at about 14-25 knots, with this wonderful birds' eye view of the world around, occasionally flapping your wings (you can flap your wings, u…

I haven't seen any posting since the 29th.Sept. Has FU3 got a problem??

Hi i am looking for somewhere i can locate flight3 cdroms i had the orginal set i bought from usa ... i stopped using fu3 for a while but wanted to go back to it and found my discs cracked and unusable..triedeverywhere can't seen to locate them ..please help if you canDave

I can't run fu3 since i installed windows 2000. When i run the game the screen goes black and i can only shut down the game using the task manager. Could someone help me? Thanks.

Probably you know that with original FU3 you get one of this challenges with Beechjet involved (you are A Boeing Company pilot...). Anyway, at one point you have to land Beechjet at Crest Airpark airfield. Here is some data about that airport that I've collected from AirNav.com:Runway 15/33Dimensions: 3288 x 40 ft. / 1002 x 12 m Surface: asphalt, in good condition Weight limitations: Single wheel: 12000 lbs Runway edge lights: low intensity My question is: "Is it possible for real Beechjet to land there?" I know that when I'm landing there in FU3 I have to burn my rubber and breaks a lot to stop before funway overruning. I really can't imagine how would that landing …

QvdG asked if I could post a few more pics of his masterwork. Nothing happier!

I would like to add the necessary beacons and stuff to enable ILS approaches at Hamilton AFB in the SanFran region. Is this something that I can do with FLED, or is it more complex ?Chris Low.
