    Does Word format work well enough for everyone that would like to read the documentation that's being developed for our hobby? I don't know how many FU3 modders have Word.I have the full Acrobat 3 (granted it's not the latest) to create hyperlinked PDF files from Word documents if that would be useful. In order to have it come out correctly, Word documents must use the built-in headings (i.e. Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) in order to build the Acrobat bookmarks along the side panel of the Reader, and Word cross-reference hyperlinks to build the Acrobat hyperlinks in the document. Word's Web hyperlinks are also supported.

    I ran across this great site with original "how to" training videos on for WW2 warbirds. I know there has been some discussion on the Mustang in the past (how to land, etc.) Let me know if this type of thing is useful to post or not.HTTP://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.comArt

    I finally made it to SF, was doing figure 8's over where the runways intersect trying to get the challenge to accept I had made it. Well, all I got was "boom". SO, where is the mid marker for runway 19 in SF?Thanks, Jim B.

    To all who helped, Indeed, all of everyones help with my original installation, was extremely helpful and the completion process is just about done... I have installed FU1 with no problem at all now.

Or anyone else out there who has any ideas where to get a patch or whatever else needs to be done...ThanksJ…

    Hi, I have installed the FUiiipatch (necesserily, otherwise my pc would hang up) and I cannot see any more the airport delimiting lines. I tried Shift+F11, Ctrl+F11, switching to the options menu and back to the Sim while on approach, I even tried switching to the desktop and back to the program, furthermore I tried all the possible combinations of settings and sliders but still nothing. The lines are shown when the sim starts and never again until the sim restarts from the desktop. I'm very frustrated because this has rendered all the airports with a non-paved runway useless. Of course, I know I could undertake the painstaking task of adding objects on either side of the…

    Hi Folks,Got 2 questions for you.Resviewer: I opened a res file for an aircraft(Markuses GB/ rt wing), went to textures, export-single using convert to psp, repainted with psp7, made sure its saved as 8 bit color, when I try to import with resviewer I get error code 1253. This is the same for all the textures and pallet.My SF region failed in a strange way: Went to quick flt and now I get "install fu2 disk" while flying and ground textures are fuzzy. So, decided to check out Steffens new nfs challenge, got the "install fu2 cd" again. The challenge seemed to work fine, between atc yacking I could here the "bad guy" talking/threatening me. If I continue flying, whether quic…

    I'm an interlopper from the Fly! forum and have noticed that you also have discovered a method of making UK scenery using the MultiMap aerial pics. What's more that Andre and Ben have developed the tools to 'automate' both the downloading and the assembly!Fantastic!I have made some composite aerials using the 1;25000 scale pics as these relate more closely to the 7.5m/pix resolution in Fly!2. A very long business downloading by hand.I have joined them together in Paint Shop Pro and was fascinated to see Andre's work in making an assembly tool.I use Terrascene 2.1 to produce a quarter Globe Tile and then sit my aerials on top (having re-sized)and re-slice it into Fly! scen…

    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to save all of my e-mail addresses when I want to re-format the hard disk ? In the past, I have copied them all down on paper, and then added them again after re-installation. There surely must be a better (and easier) way than this !I use Microsoft Outlook Express.Chris Low,ENGLAND.

    Hi guys,for all those of you interested in FU3 challenge script programming, I have uploaded a MS word document describing everything I have learned so far programming various challenge scripts.I got inspired by Jokke's AI documentation - my challenge scripting documentation covers many hints, tips, and tricks for challenge programming, including its possibilities and some bugs and work-arounds in the scripting language I found. Together with the CHALSCRP.DOC on the FU3 CD, this should give everyone interested a good idea on FU3 script programming.Blue Skies, Steffen
