The Flight Unlimited Series

As soon as I put the finishing touches on, I'll upload it. You should see the Playboy 50th Aniversary repaint!

Congratulations Luc!Cardiff has arrived. I have started this thread for Luc to get feedback, and I hope to download and test it tonight.Despite Luc naming me as an "author", I haven't had any involvement since sending a few models across. Its all his and Andy's work.RobD.

Greeting FU3 freax. Sorry for my leave of absence in this forum. I still get around to flying Flight3 on occasion, but with business and kid commitments it is hard to find the time.Still, a question. Our favorite sim is now celebrating its 4th birthday, and M$ are constantly trying to better it. The sexiest addon pack I have seen so far is megascenery (as in the .com) covering some of the DPRK (Democratic Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, as it is known by conservative gun lovers over there). The pack features 5 square meter tiles, and a lot of them, in lots of pretty colors. Is this as good as Flight3?Constantly spilling your coffee (FU3 joke),Lior

I had almost lost my hopes, but at last, here it is - FU3 running on Linux!! :-) Of course, the results are still not perfect, but the important part is, that it works!! (see screenshots).This could be the falling of the last wall forcing me to use Windows... Maybe it's time to move to Linux now! :-)Cristianhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/36932.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/36933.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/36934.jpg

Hi guys,after enjoying Ansgar's new high quality AI package, I just uploaded a beta-beta version of an effort to create callsign sounds for all those new airliners.It looks like FU3 always issues the same callsign to the AI planes (i.e. the Lufthansa B747 is always "Air Plastique 555" or "Paradise 007"). So all we need to do in order to hear the AI Lufthansa B747 being called "Lufthansa 555" or "Lufthansa 007" is to create a Lufthansa sound and to replace those old sound in the vcomctrl.res and vcomp1.res ... vcomp9.res sound files with the new version. That I tried. The sound quality is far from perfect right now - but we have new sounds for Ryan Air, Delta, Lufthansa, a…

Please list for me the three(only 3 please)most important things to you want in a cocpit. Thanks, Steve.

All those with GeForce 4.I haven't really been happy with my GeForce4 since I got it and have spent a lot of time trying to find answers........however, last night / early this morning I made some good progress after digging around on the internet, following some old links I found in the forum and generally trying "trial and error permutations" of all the bits of info I could find.Firstly I uploaded the lates drivers from nvidia 45.23, de installed my Geforce, deleted all files using Detonator RIP and reinstalled the new drivers. After hours of reading, experimenting and tweaking with Riva Tuner (although it has not been tested with this version of driver) I ended up wher…

Hi all fellow pilots . As you know I'm going to SanFrancisco on the 20th of this month . I searched for charters in area , Found A Beaver that has tours for $129.00 on a planned route with 5 passengers ,or I called and can charter my own flight for $650.00 HR based at fishermans warf .OR I found a service out of Snn Carlos Flying in a cessna 182 for $240.00 hr, I think will probably go for cessna and 2 hrs of flight . Any suggestions as to what route to plan ??? I will be taking photographs of area and can possibly take 400 digital pics if batteries hold up ,have two , I would really like to do a touch and go at Half moon bay and possibly another airport . I will call thi…

Chris we don't start discussions about likes & dislikes on pinned threads.

The log from the chat has been uploaded to the FU library.I want to again thank everyone who participated in this chat. It was the best one in a long while. For those of you who missed it... well you missed a good one. :)

I'm having a guilty feeling type of day and slap my wrists but I don't think I've being keeping up with AI files for the UK probably because I don't understand them. Have to admit it after downloading Luc's Cardiff and not knowing what to do with the .sup files (see post "Cardiff Uploaded"Could someone please post an up to date, complete, all singing all dancing, pukka set of AI files for me so I can get up to date. Would be even more grateful if you could add the Cardiff bits as well.ThanksAndy

Guys,Time for another chat. The "official" start time will be 14:00 EDT unless anyone has a good reason for a change. Not that the start time means much anyway... come when you can and stay as long as is convenient.I hope we can get some more of the RFers this time... make it a real bang up FURF! ;-)

I just uploaded the Baron with my Hooters livery, Enjoy!

After the "Dome of Doom" I now find myself with another strange tale to tell, but fortunately this time, I don't think it's my doing.See the screenshot below.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/35799.jpgThis is locatated to the west of Gatwick (You can find it by using Fled and scrolling across to the co-ordinates on the bottom of the pic.I wondered if it was me, or it had been accidentally loaded in another package, but as I flew over lower realised it wasn't a model. I opened several packages in Fled, but its always there.Any ideas? Or have the beings that took over the dome moved to Gatwick.Andy

Guess I spent a lot of time on FU3 over the weekend, so many posts.I came across a small problem with my Lydd airport development. After adding some models (Jon Points pylons) if I used the "D" key to change from day to night (and vice versa) my FU3 would just exit and go back to my desktop. I removed Jon's model and still had the same problem, so these were not the cause and the problem must have always been there, just never noticed.I flew from several airports and changed from night to day with no problem. I then set off from Lydd at night but didn't use the "D" key and all was OK until I used the hat on my joystick to have a look around in F5 view. FU3 quitted, back t…

I just uploaded the London City airport package for the UK south region. The upload includes a "London Heavy" package that meshes with the airport package and adds buildings to the surrounding areas. I plan to expand the "London Heavy" package and add buildings all over greater London later. There are a lot of models and most of you will find that you have a lot of them already. There are even some models that haven't been used yet since I included my entire bunch of repalettized Seattle models. However, most of the available models will be used in the near future. Further, they even make sense for future Sanfran packages since they all use the Sanfran palette. Robert Dri…

OK guys, can you let me know if you are interested in getting your FU3 upgrades included on the cover CD of PC Pilot, Issue 25 (due in October) ? I have just spoken with Mark Embleton on the phone, and he informs me that they are allocating plenty of space for FU3 add-ons, maybe as much as 80Mb. My two scenery packs will be included, and they are likely to occupy around 12Mb in total, so that leaves plenty of room for a few planes and other add-ons.So, if you are interested (and I know that several of you have already contacted Mark about this), then just let me know here. That will give Mark a better idea of how many files are on offer.Chris Low,ENGLAND.PS. It looks like…

This is a first beta version of my new FLEDViewer for FU3Place this program in the top of your package folder or in any other folder you want. Start FLEDViewer and click on open m0xxzz.mod file button. In the file selection dialog choose a mod file open it then click in the tree area.now you can see the structure of the file with the models inside all arranged in a tree view.This is just a viewer ! you can't modify anything. You can export the model information of the mod file as an txt file with tab separator ready for EXCEL-import or MS-Access. the first line is the field names. Using EXCEL or ACCESS you can now analyze and search / count / manage model placements in th…

I have attached two screenshots showing another superb development for the High Detail AI Pack. Ansgar has reworked the model for the Beechjet, and created a high detail Citation jet with a red colour scheme. As you can see from the pictures, this is very impressive :-) The Beechjet itself has also been upgraded, and it now looks just as good as the flyable version.Chris Low,ENGLAND.

Still on a learning curve here - it is possible to make nightlighting for buildings now, and its been a long time since people relearned how to achieve transparency effects such as for trees. But I have never worked out how to do both - have models that are correctly lit at night AND have transparency effects. I still don't know how, but suddenly it works. I had modified my FLT3.CFG file, playing with cloud effects, and happened to switch the modelhaze method to SPECULAR, and suddenly it all worked correctly. Probably most of you have never noticed this problem - it might be the old Nvidia card I am using, and you may have always had correct night transparency - I just th…

Oh dear, I feel like one of those developers who releases a patch on the same day that their game hits the store shelves ! I have noticed that one or two files that I thought had been modified, er......haven't been :-) Therefore, I will be releasing a 2004 Update pack later on tonight. This isn't a serious disaster or anything, but after putting in so much time and effort on the main packages, it is a touch annoying :-)I have taken the opportunity to include the latest version of my Ranger Creek package. However, this involves using FLED to remove the existing runway model. If the mere mention of the word "FLED" fills you with abject terror, then select one of the followi…

I just uploaded the new Baron 58 again. I must have made a last minute mistake on the IFR day panel view importing the wrong file with Cockpit Designer. The errors are minor but there just the same. The stater switch graphics are in the wrong place and the dummy switch and tank select switch graphics are missing. I am not sure when the new file will replace the old one will take place. If you would like me to email the correct IFR .bmp to you directly, just let me know and I will get it to you ASAP. To import the file into cockpitdesigner you will have to rename the .res file to 'baron'. [email protected]

Work in progress, there is also an R rated passenger.

Can anyone let me know if the import procedure to flatten three airfields in my Seattle 2004 pack has worked properly ? The airfields affected are Auburn Academy, Coupeville NOLF, and Clover Park TC. You shouldn't see stuff like floating trees and buildings, and you should also not be able to see your plane sinking into paved runways :-)Chris Low,ENGLAND.

Hi all, The restoration of the DH82 Tiger moth by the FU3 Vintage aircraft restoration fund is progressing albeit they are struggling with a very tight budget of only 2000 polygon credits.Cheers, QvdG
