Would it be possible to incorporate helicopters into FU3? I would be very interested if anyone could tell me the answer to this. If not, then why??? :-rotor

Hi guys,for those of you who remember the "Need for Speed" adventure in FU2: It's back!I just uploaded a converted version of this FU2 adventure as a FU3 challenge to the Library. The challenge had to be written new but uses all the sounds of the FU2 adventure.Prepare for some exciting Piper flying when a "regular" flight into SFO suddenly gets a dangerous edge...Blue Skies, Steffen

I'll install win xp today on my machine.... Can you advice me about FU3 and Win XP (performance, hints ,troubles, etc)Thanks! Javier

Hello All,I've recently purchased and installed a copy of FU3 to see what all the (positive) fuss is about.I am wondering if anyone has/could compile a resource list for the new FU user that includes required and recommended files, informative posts and web links. The Fly! forum includes such a list and it proved to be very useful to me personally when I was first getting into Fly! 2.Speaking of Fly!, I seem to remember someone mentioning that one could use scenery generated with TerraScene (a Fly! related tool) to add scenery to Flight Unlimited (or was it another flight sim?).Regards,hoo

My new computer has an Nvidia GF2 MX-400 64MB card. I installed FUII and the latest version of the patch (-.1 through -.4 I believe). The sim seemed to work okay for a few minutes, then it froze. Also, I noticed that I couldn't change the visibility. There was a constant 10-20 haze, whether I had it set to 1/2 mile or 20 miles.Is this a problem between FUII and the GF2? Can it be fixed?Also, I noticed a similar problem (no visiblity change, but it didn't freeze) when I downloaded updated drivers for my 16 MB Voodoo Banshee on my older computer. Would anyone out there happen to have their original Banshee CD? Or is there a place I could get one?I don't know how it g…

I'm attempting to import raster data using the NIMAMUSE Raster Importer as described in the GTV readme file. I believe I've generated the 6x5z20.hdr and 6x5z20.fil files in the proper manner but I'm not sure where to go next. The readme states "...files are imported when no node is selected and both files exists in the same folder. output is then 6x5z20.tga." I'm asuming this means place the .hdr and .fil in the same folder with the geo tiles viewer along with the .tag file. When I select terrain elevation import without selecting a node, I get the message "select node, not map".Anyone have any suggestions?Thanks,Rick

I recently sent an e-mail to PC Pilot magazine, suggesting that an article could be written with respect to Flight Unlimited 3. I received a very quick and positive response, but it was suggested that maybe an article about FU2 would be more appropriate, considering that this is still available on the SOLD OUT budget label. After all, writing an article on FU3 is all very well, but if none of PC Pilot's readers can get hold of a copy afterwards..........well, you can see their point. However, the fact that FU3 exists, and that many add-ons for it are available at AVSIM will also be mentioned in this article, and that really was the main reason for my writing to PC Pilot i…

Does anyone here run Flight Unlimited 2 with Windows XP ? If so, can you provide details of your PC system specification ? Also, I would be interested to know if you have encountered any problems.Many thanks,Chris Low,ENGLAND.

One of my airport gives error, when ai planes are generated. The message is :Translation Expected 264, but found 1008(File engtrans.c, Line : 176 Yes to trap ...)So the ai planes procedures are in engtrans.dll.Jokke, did you try to watch the file engtrans.dat ?B.Adamski

During testing for the upcoming FU2 article in PC Pilot, I was surprised to discover that there is no general ground lighting in FU2. I had assumed that this was similar to that present in FU3, but that is far from the truth. In short, night flying in FU2 is highly disappointing. I can't see many screenshots of this aspect of FU2 being of much use.Chris Low,ENGLAND.

I recently upgraded my DELL 8200 (which I bought with an OEM version of the NVidia GF3 64MB Ti200 in October 2001) with a new GF4 4600. I am selling the original GF3.For your information, I have overclocked the Ti200, although very little. I added about 25 MHz each to the memory and core clocks using NVMax. I have been "flying" using these settings for several months and have not had any problems with the card. I saw a modest performance boost and kept it there.The card itself is a NVidia branded OEM Card. Memory chips have "EliteMT" printed on them (for what that's worth). Card is cooled with a large heat sink but no independent fan. I am considering selling the card on …

Hey Folks!I am uploading my latest package today - the last one was VH-ABR in period colours - this one is VH-ABR 33 years on (in 1971 Ansett colours). As before, the callsign has been updated. Some screenshots follow.- Jon Point

For as long as I've owned Flight Unlimited III, there has been one small detail that has bugged me and I wonder if it can be fixed.In FU3, the engine sound is linked to the RPM's...but in real life, engine pitch changes with throttle input (manifold pressure). Can the engine pitch noise be fixed (moved to the manifold pressure, instead of rpm)?Dan

This is a real nice aircraft. Has one odd thing, the right engine keeps flaming out, even at medium alts straight and level. You all know if theres a fix for this and where I could download it?Thanks, Jim B.

A few weeks ago I wrote about the DC-3 model that I downloaded and I could see through it while veiwing it from the outside. Yesterday as a fluke I pressed the 3D acceleration button on my Sony laptop and "Primary DI" came up. I thought this was odd and ran the FLUIII program. To my amazement the plane was no longer see through, the clouds looked much better and the frame rate went up alittle. I did not think that Sony laptops had any kind of 3D acceleration. Does anyone have a answer to this? The Laptop type is Sony PCG-XG700.

A big thank you to Andre Meystre for his guidance in scenery generation. Using uncompressed tiles with the San Francisco palette, the results obtained with synthetic TS2/FS textures are very acceptable. The screen shot shows the L0 megatile ASAP replaced in Andre's London package.Rickhttp://cc.ysu.edu/~rick/flt3006.jpg

Hi everybody,the good news is I finally got FU3 loaded onto my machine, and after applying the patch (UK version) it even seems to work. No longer a blank screen to stare at. I got all the add-ons I could wish for from Allan and am sure to have lots of fun with this sim.But now the BAD news.... my joystick is not recognized by the sim. Can't get it to do anything, except that my rudder pedals seem to control the throttle for some reason.Now Allan here has led me to believe that there will be somebody with the proper solution for my clumsiness jump up within the hour or so.... surprise me please :-) :-)My specs are:AMD 1,2 Ghz, 384 Mb RAM, GF2 32mb 200 MX graphics card, De…

Jokke,Sorry for being so slow.
