The Flight Unlimited Series

Does anyone here know where I can find pictures of the Clover Park Technical College airstrip ? The FU3 airports document in the file library indicates that the runway was asphalt, but what would this look like ?Chris Low,ENGLAND.

Hello all,;) I return to the load with Cardiff. I have to decide to publish the pack twice. 1/ Cardiff airport, in little time. 2/ Cardiff city and harbour zone. About October, November. By then, it is necessary me to reunify documentation to model the urban landscape. I foamed the Web without large succ

Hi all,Yesterday I spent several hours going through all the archive posts looking for settings / driver info / tweakers / problems with GeForce and Detonator graphics. There is a lot of info in here but I need to re-open the subject to help me with a little problem.I have now installed my GeForce4 Ti4200 and there is a vast difference. I loaded the latest Detonator drivers from Nvidia (44.03) and have set anti aliasing and anios?? (whatever it is) to 4xs and 8x.(I can tweak these higher but the colours in the cockpit "run").I now have, no shimmer, no jagged edges on the horizon, I do not see the towns "building" as I fly over them and I still get a good 25fps.But.....and…

Hi there,I'm having major problems with FU3. First of all when I fly into a cloud of any kind, FU3 exits to desktop. How to solve?!?Second of all when I take of from an airport everything is fine (hey, that's nice), but when I arrive on another airport, no taxilines! How about that?Hope somebody can help me...

I have just realised why there is a significant freeze after take-off (or landing) at McChord AFB and SeaTac International. It isn't due to the number of trees in the area (which is far less than in the San Francisco area), but the rebuilt taxiway lines and lights at these two airports. When I upgraded these two airports, virtually every line was deleted and reconstructed. Maybe the original LGS versions were optimised, or maybe they were just less complex. However, this made me realise that there is a solution (at least, when taking off).When you are given clearance to taxi onto the runway, press Shift-F11. This will remove all of the lines. The freeze of several seconds…

Here are a few screenshots of the updated R & K Skyranch and Asplund Field airfields for Seattle 2004.1. The updated Asplund Field, showing the runway logs, and densely packed trees. Many of the original trees were spread far and wide, but I have tightened these up considerably. Now you really do have the effect of a narrow runway with tightly packed trees on either side. The FBO has also been moved slightly.2. Ready for take-off on runway 16. Note the huge logs that define the runway (courtesy of Robert Driscoll).3. The updated R & K Skyranch. This package has been completely rebuilt. Note the logs that define both runways, and the new log defined parking area in…

Ok, so now I am having some silly problems.I recently created some models and converted into bin files. I put these and the required mips into the regions/uksouth/gen folder.I opened FLED, went to the location, placed the model. When i went to movr it I could not select it or any other model.I then went to place another model and constantly in the list of models that appeared it automaticallt dragged me back to my original model.I renamed the bin file, same result, rebuilt the model same result. Eventually after 1 hour I got a name that stuck. However, I had used the original model name previously and only replaced the bin file as I had made a slight adjustment.Anyody els…

Dear All,I have solved the Fled problem (no I didn't throw the PC out the window!). I never thought I'd be happy to see Fled againKudos to Hans who was closest with his analysis and gave me the clues and I needed to solve this. But thankyou all that offered support and ideas.The problem was a registry problem. You have to manually find it and delete before reinstalling. I re-examined the assumption that I had made a clean install of FU3 by rerunning the uninstall and reinstalling took around 2 hours last night. This time I used a third party uninstaller which uses FU3s uninstaller so I could watch what was coming off the system. The FU3 unistaller leaves some directories …

Hello buddies,;) I am pleased to announce to you the arrival of Cardiff airport for soon. :-beerchug I am taking cars, trucks and bus all mod

Hi everyone,Need some help. Fled is driving me nuts!I have 2 problems and would like any suggestions anyone can offer.1) I can't open fled anymore...it launches and does start up screen, then opens the soar window and sits there with no acess to the command window...it seems to be invisable. ALT f4 seems to close it fine!I have tried to reinstall but to no avail and have exhausted my common tricks.....ANYONE any ideas?2) Just before I had this problem I was tried to edit a package and I had an object that wouldn't highlight and delete...no matter what I tried. Anyone in the forum any ideas??I was working on Filton and this is burning sooo much time....Rob.

I'll be going to London again, from Aug. 7th to Aug. 12th. I won't have much time - 5 full days are barely enough for a look around - but I'll be bringing my camera with me... Anyone of our 3D building modelers need some photos for their textures? I can't promise anything, but I could try to take some good shots...Cristian

FLED froze on me the other day for the millionth time, and I had to reboot the PC. During the disk check, I noticed that a file in the FLIGHT3 directory (called "blackout.bin") had been corrupted. However, I cannot find this file on any of the CD's. Does everyone else have a file called blackout.bin in their FLIGHT3 directory ? If so, what is it for, and where can I find it on the CD's ?Chris Low,ENGLAND.

Just a reminder for those that can get Discovery Wings channelTonight 8Pm est is the premiere of their Flight sim programs :-)They do everything else so well, I expect a good series with this one too. We'll see...

Some of you will know that I have recently purchased a copy of Grand Prix Legends. I have been downloading a few extra tracks for this game, and I noticed that there was a track called Sears Point Raceway. The significance of this is that I am almost certain that this race track is visible in the SanFran region of FU3 and FU2. I have seen a track from the air just south of Sonoma Valley, and the layout appears to be identical.That has got me thinking. Wouldn't this be a nice addition to my upcoming SanFran 2004 pack ? I don't intend to lay down tarmac or anything (that would end up looking crude and unrealistic), but making some kind of scenery package here would be a nic…

Mine is FU2 (though I havent played FU1 before) With beautiful location, easy to use weather system and great framrates (and maybe i feel its the best because it was my first time with the series) it is my favorite. Whats yours?

Sorry to post this here, but I am aware that some of you are dedicated racing drivers. I have just bought Rally Trophy for a fiver......and I received a whole penny in change ! How's that for a bargain ? Anyway, I look forward to shaming you all with some phenomenal performances over the coming months. I haven't tried the game yet, but I am confident that I will have no trouble defeating a sad bunch of losers that have nothing better to do than fly virtual planes all day ! :-lolChris Low,ENGLAND.

Hi,Is it possible to change the aircraft in the FU3/2 challenges?

I was messing around with ResViewer the other day and lisiting to a few of the sound files. When i was going through the list I started hearing sound files that i have never heard in the game such as "Your cleared for a right 360 for spacing if you need it" and the ATIS lady's voice also has many different weather advisories such as haze, mist, smoke, dust, etc...........they also explain more clearly what to do and seem to respond to your actions more clearly. do any of you know why these were never included in the final version of the game or has anybody heard any of these different phrases in the game? I think these voices would add to the depth of the game trumendousl…

The following screenshots show upgrades and alterations to several airfields, for inclusion in Seattle 2004 and SanFran 2004.1. GREEN VALLEY.....showing the new log defined runway and parking area, and the increased number of trees.2. MARTHA LAKE.....This airfield package was originally combined with Apex Airpark and Harvey Field in a single folder (a result of one of my first ever scenery projects with FLED). I finally decided to completely rebuild these packages as three separate items, and this screenshot shows the new Martha Lake package. The trees do not extend around the lake anymore, since I wanted a tighter, more realistic feel.3. SEQUIM VALLEY.....I have only jus…

You probably dont remember me, but i have been into the FU series since FU2 came out in 97.........ive been in and out of the FU series ever since. I'd just like to say hi and i am glad to be back.-Tom Z

HiHere is some more info on my STRANGE instrument.I have had it to bits and put it back to how I think it was before my son-in-law got his hands on it.The R/H green pointer is the origional one, it was bent back inside. The L/H green pointer is home made, I am only guessing that it was also green. The orig needle was there less the pointer.The white markings I have added are I belive in the right place and the right colour, it looks like the orig ones where painted out with black paint or felt tip but you can still see where they where.The thin needle had green paint on, I just filled in the gaps. I suspect this was longer as I can see what looks like a piece broken off.T…

Just uploaded a fix for this problem to the library :-wave agtimhttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/24091.jpg

Hi to all,as a "normal" user, better consumer of all the work of the people here in this forum a big thank you to you all!! I published a little gallery of screenshots here: http://www.peonia.de/Bilder/FU3/index.htmlI have no fast machine and no fast grafics but I think there we all can see: Flight Unlimited is a very, very nice sim and all this new models (flying or on the earth) are a big evolution of this noncommercial sim. Thanks to you all and go on! I will use it!Rainer HensslerBonn, Germany
