The Flight Unlimited Series

Hi Im Only On Here To Leve A Message In Case Any Of You Use Fs2002I Know Fu3 Is Great Sim I Use It To But Decided To Try In Put Fu3 Scenery In Fs 2002 With The Same Texture ..This I Have Done If Anyone Interested In Seeing Screenshots Or Any Questions Let Me Know..Doug

I put together a new tutorial pack on how to make scenery objects (for TFT). But with Andre and Ansgar promoting the Gmax approach I fear this text editing approach may be superceded. I will send the pack to anyone who asks by email, but I don't think I should upload it to AVSIM unless people have difficulties following the more professional approach outlined by A and A.Rob D.

I know it's OT but here's a change for the cards.Jon Point*************************([email protected])*************************

Hi,anyone knows what that means:When ai of sanfran start up for callculation it gives me that message:"engtarans.c line 176 translation expected 13 but found 1008"If I click on ignore, ai callculation goes on and Fu3 runs fine.I found a engtrans.log file where a lot of entries are writte with 13 and 1008, but can not figure out what that means.SincerelyTFT

During install under WinXP (no compatibility mode), it was trying to read the "Scenery Disc 2" but going nowhere (continued periodic read light on CD drive). No success when I tried to cancel out of disc read or Setup program. Also, could not regain control with Task Mgr. So finally I just shut down the cptr.I found FU3 listed under Add/Remove Programs, but couldn't remove (said my "Flight III u.log" file was corrupt). FU3 not listed under Start/Programs. But re-insertion of FU3 Install disc shows option to Run, Uninstall, etc, as if program installed. I deleted the FU3 folder, and now can't figure how to reset Registry so as to attempt a re-install (this time under Win98…

The trim settings in FU3 seem to be initialised for take off. That's why I never have to touch them ! However, those in FS2002 are very different. Every aircraft that I have tried seems to have the trim set to "Journey to the centre of the Earth" mode :-) In other words, even with maximum flaps and maximum power, the plane still wants to dive unless a certain amount of pressure is applied to the joystick.Since I have absolutely no idea where the trim should be set for take-off for ANY aircraft, would anyone here like to explain this. Since the trim controls themselves don't seem to have any indication of the angle of elevator deflection, this causes problems when a partic…

The 10 minutes of writing a reply to Chris about the aerodynamics of "left drift" didn't go to waste in a "deleated" post/reply. If so, then let me know. My E-mail has [email protected]

Daniel,I finally broke down and bought Fly2 is a shovelware pack with 4 other flight sims for $9.95. I haven't installed it yet. My question is what patches do I need? Also where can I find some good scenery cheap (like free)? I prefer the Seattle/Tacoma area for comparison sake... but if that goes well I might branch out. Any help will be appreciated. :)

Greetings Friends,I'm almost ashamed to ask... I even helped beta this product ... but I can't seem to reinstall it right. Everything goes okay, but when I go fly... I get this message that stays on the screen: "Please Insert (San Fran or Seattle) Scenery disc 2" Meanwhile the all the detail is missing on terrain below. I completely reinstalled it the second time... carefully putting in the proper discs ... or so I thought... and same result.Obviously that shouldn't be there on a full install and I should have the detailed ground rendering.Does anyone know what I have done wrong?!?Thanks ahead of time... and have a wonderful Christmas season!Steve

I think it's time to upload my Baron interior views. I've been waiting for Steve's cockpit and a new exterior model by Ansgar. As it stands I've got a plane with interior bitmaps from Ed Weber's aircraft and a paint job representing this particular aircraft as well as I can, given the limits of the Windhawk texture mapping.Then I've used Tom Wunder's panel with a slight color correction to make it match the front quarter views.The flight model has been slightly altered by Daniel Lindstr

Hello Tom Allensworth,hello Tom Wunder,it seems that here are a bigger list of topics in the main overview-list of the FU3-forum suddenly missing or damaged (from 26.november - 07.dezember)!After a short test I did found out that all the threads are still there and they are mostly complete. So it seems that actually only the listing of topics is puzzled or partly damaged.Can this be corrected, or are they lost? May be that this is an first sign of some hackers, or a bigger crash in the forums structure caused by i.e. HDD-failures?There are some threads that may be needed as good instructions for other users (i.e. the gmax V1.2-thread). If we can

Just got a new videocard, a Radeon 9700 Pro.Works fine with FU3. The only problem is that FSAA currently does not work in 16-bit color mode. Aniso works however, and gets rid of the flickering textures. There's still some stair-stepping at the horizon. This may get fixed in a future driver update.FU3 is now 100% fluid all the time, even over areas with lots of 3d objects. This is with full Aniso, but no FSAA since that currently does not work.

Still no success. BTW, is it just me, or are there a lot of msg's missing here ? I'd like to reference my original post for everyone's suggestions, but it, along with several other folks' posts, seem to be missing.Question : I have the CD in its drive while starting FU. I'm assuming you need it there, because not everything was copied to the HD. Is this correct, for not everything to have been copied ? This is normal for many applications, but thought I'd ask, since I'm running out of ideas. 1) I've tried the patch. It seems like it simply changes the FLIGHT.BAT file. The FLIGHT.exe now in the genpile folder is the same as what is on the CD. 1/30/96 1:47 PM, 1,660…

Tom,Can you guess what I have just done ? Do you really need to read any further to find out ? Shall I just let you guess, and then I can say whether you were right or not ? :-lolChris Low,ENGLAND.Oh God, I'm going to get crucified for this............. :-)

Does anyone here that fits the above description know of any FS2002 aircraft that fly in a similar manner to those in FU3 ? I am finding it INCREDIBLY difficult to control aircraft in FS2002, and I would really like to be able to find one that suits my style (well, there's a problem right from the start) :-) What I am looking for is as follows:-1. An aircraft that "feels" like an FU3 model.2. More immediate response to throttle input.3. A nice VFR cockpit :-)4. Good quality visual model.5. Preferably a twin turboprop.6. Payware or Freeware, I don't mind. I just want to be able to fly the thing ! :-lolI have pretty much given up being able to fly a large jet in FS2002 (alt…

Well just got into FU3 again. Do you guys have any recommendations on good aircraft/scenery files etc?Thanks,

Looking for you alls' thoughts on these . Could be for hi-res England region. Not the Eiffel of course, I put it there to let you see it. This is just a fraction of what could be for England.Picts are Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and other notable landmarks. Also, you can see a light house buried in there.Jim B.

I've a couple different flight sims, and I bought this a couple of years ago at Wal-Mart, and was only going to install it when I got this one project done, as an incentive. Well, that project is finally complete.This is Flight Unlimited, DOS, circa-1995, and I assume it's what is now referred to as FU I, although there is no Roman Numeral 1 in the title.The problem is when it starts up, after I get the still Looking Glass title screen, with sound, and after the still Pitts aircraft screen, with sound, the sound continues with birds chirping as the screen goes blank, and remains blank. In fact, my monitor goes into sleep mode! The green light on it goes amber! The chi…

Hi All!Just got back from NZ - data centres can be really fun places at 2:30AM - NOT!Thanks to all of you for your input on this. I am going to do some flight model testing tonight with Ansgar's suggestions - I don't know where the offset came from but if it fixes the problem, great! I will also move the main wheels apart slightly on the ground and increase the lateral drag of the tailwheel to see if that helps.Other things:1. I've added some wing wires to the binfile2. I am working on the F4 view3. I have created a 'frame' for the cockpit glass so it looks better. Now I'll try '99.95%' transparency ;)4. I have emailed Steve Hess regarding implementing his great cockpit!5…

Hi Rob,could not find the describtion from Tomi about the rotating lighthouse on his homepage.SincerelyTFT

Here are some shots of ongoing work at Heathrow.Progress with Heathrow airport package: Cristian (Qaxo) has sent me UK-South scenery. I couldn't load it, lack of disk space, so he kindly sent me detailed instructions on installing just the scenery around Heathrow itself. Cristian also sent me terrain elevation detail just for this area, with careful instructions on installation. I did this. The colours are outstanding. I think the graphics source must be a plane rather that a satellite - they are so much clearer and better coloured than Seattle or San Fran - you have to see it to believe it! I have completed 9 models of varying complexity for Heathrow so far. Below ar…

OK, there are TWO entries for DECREASE THROTTLE in the keyboard assignments list. The first one should actually be REVERSE THRUST. Therefore, I changed this one from F2 to JOYSTICK BUTTON 1.Then the problems start. Whilst using the joystick button is CONSIDERABLY more effective than using the F2 key, reverse thrust itself appears to do very little. In fact, I couldn't detect any effect at all when I tried to slow my Bac 1-11 down. I had to use the brakes instead.So, where does that leave me ? I love the sound and effect of reverse thrust after landing, but FS2002 appears to simulate this very badly indeed. If I am missing something here, then will someone please let me kn…

I have just uploaded a second pack of scenery objects, coloured for the San Fransisco region of FU3 (and so by default, also suitable for the new UK-South region). A few of these models have never been released before, and others ahve been improved over their Seattle original releases.As always, please notify me of any problems with these models and I will try to fix them. But they should work OK straight out of the box.Installation instructions are included for San Fran. But its very simple: copy all of the MIP and BIN files into your RegionsSanFranGEN folder, then start up FLED in the San Fran region, open a package, and the new objects will be available to you through …

I'm posting this here because I know many users of this forum like playing with Orbiter too... Today the new version of this fantastic freeware space simulator was released to the public. I still haven't tried it (still downloading :) ) but the screenshots in the site are very promising...I just wanted to share this information, sorry for the off-topic!Cristian
