    I have been fooling around with Bazza's Micro~Lite which is available in the library. It comes with the Stemme's interior. I removed all of that and put in a slightly modified version of Gideon's great Cub panel for the IFR view... all other views including the VFR are blank. It makes a great plane for sight-seeing!My 1st attempt didn't work out so well... the tach needed recalibrating and there were...http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d3112fc24e97ccf.jpglots of green pixels and when the throttle was advanced it showed a green patch above it...With a little hunting (OK... maybe a lot) I finally got all them little green buggers...http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_f…

    Hi Agtim,sometime ago you detailed how to get rid of the terrain elevation error at Coupville Nolf (and other places) using one of your little geotiles tools.Any chance you could let me know which tool(s) I need to download to do this?Oh, and can I flatten the outer terrain with it as well?Thanks:-wavePete

    Hello all,Before I ask you to report some info , I wish to say that Flight 3 is absolute fantastic and it's close to perfection. What got my attention though is that while the frame speed is great , i can count numerous kind of little stutters every four - five seconds, and yes I have to admit it spoils a bit the fun when doing a pure sightseeing tour. What are your experiences with stutters and FU III ? Even the cockpit instrument light enabling gives a (very) short stutter , but notice-able, strange ... do you get the same result ?My system : Duron 800 Mhz , Via Kt 133A Mobo, 384 Mb , V5500 and the harddisk is a Mactor, 40 GB,7200 rpm, ATA133 (said the seller) but th…

    I was just wondering, out of curiosity, how many of you are still on a 56K telephone modem connection (like me), how many with ISDN, or ADSL, etc... In Italy very few already have high speed connections...Cheers,Cristian

    I have no experience from adding a new scenery area to FU3. In the avsim library I found the following 6 files for London by Andre Meystre:londondev.zipuk-elevation1.zipuk-aqaq.zipuk-AQAQ.zipuk-araq.zipuk-ARAQ.zipuk-ASAP.zipDo I need all of them? Do I need more files? What is the difference between uk-aqaq.zip and uk-AQAQ.zip? Any info appreciated!Roland, Uppsala

    Chris,I was serious before. I would love to see some more pics from your new video card... especially from FU3... but not restricted to it. And again... how do the FU3 panels look with it?I am not trying to pick a arguement with you... while I love my V5 card I need to get a new system one of these days and will probably have to go with a different video card.Any & all info will be appreciated. :)

    Hi!I have been looking into other FU3 sites, and there is one page by Peter James about recommended settings for this sim.He is explaining the different effects you can expect both for apowerful and for older computers.May be some of the regulars in this forum is familiar to this, but for any new FU3 pilot this is very valuable and good tips.You will find the site here:http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Han...8203/page3.htmlBest regards.Lars Peter.

    Here are some screenshots of what I'm doing. I have completed 15 megatiles. I have modified tilindex.bin to use the blank megatile.I have generated also the lower levels, so you can see the megatiles even in the distance (see screenshots).The slow-loading doesn't happen if you're not very near to the edge, so now that there is a large region to fly in, the problem only happen rarely (when you're at the border).In the tiles I've done, there are 9 airports, (but one is abandoned), including Bembridge, Lee-on-the-Solent, Goodwood, Southampton, Stansted and others.I have also completed the whole Isle of Wight.Now I'm working on adding the elevation.Do you like the screenshots…

    would want to own!)However, I have run across a curiosity: four times in a row (between game restarts), at some point in identical flights (weather, wind, time of day, flight profiles), it has lost power. Cruise would be around 140 KTAS (Knots TRUE airspeed), and after an altitude change power would suddenly decrease, and I'd watch the digital airspeed (ground speed) wind down past 116 KTAS while at cruise power, or about 80% power.On a hunch, I turned "Engine Failures" to "OFF" in the OPTIONS, and now the aircraft flies perfectly!Anyone flying the 182 notice similar behavior? (Yes or No answers appreciated).Dan

    Ansgar,I was fooling around with the 747-SP... I wanted to change it from 747-400 to 747-SP on the panel... but as I was using it I discovered that most of the digital readouts were truncated and hard to read... specifically all the red digit ones. I went in to CPD and changed the settings to match those in the 747-400 and they now work great... at least on my copy!http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d2519c166b70e12.jpghttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d251a0066f9cd5f.jpghttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d251a4a6763229f.jpghttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d251a73678b7f52.jpghttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3d251ac668249386.jpghttp://ftp.a…
