Roger,Regarding the number of parts. Have you tried joining several parts together into a single one? For example, you could join all antennas into a single part. You could do the same with seats, etc. as long as you don't need that part to move. Jarno can give you a better idea about how to do this.Regards,http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/banneraa.jpg

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!Welcome!!! I agree with the "two pillars" analogy, it's nice to see them getting stronger. For years I followed TRI's advice of reloading every time I got a Winrun.CPP error or CTD on startup. Thanx to these forums, I now know to just get rid of my AutoSave.sit file, and if that doesn't work all .HST files.Did you know Terminal Reality has taken over selling and supporting FLY 2? Maybe if we pester them enough we might get another patch...Best Regards, Donny:-wave

G'day Donny,"Pestering" I think that's a case of poor choice of words.No I didn't know that TRI were again supporting Fly! II. Are you sure???If you do want TRI to get involved with Fly!II again then the best way is to support The sim, get involved, help out newbies ( and oldies :-) ) on the forum, produce add-ons, or simply just use Fly! II and give a little praise to the Sim. Let TRI see that there are simmers out in sim world that really APPRECIATE their efforts with Fly! II.Anyway if TRI is putting it's toe in the water testing out the market that is good news indeed, but pestering for bug fixes will be a surefire way of driving them away ( IMHO ).Cheers,Roger

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!Sorry, I meant to type Take Two instead of Terminal Reality. I recieved a copy of FLY 2 from Global Star Software. The info included said to contact take two for support. I did call just to verify and was told that support was available thru them, just call. It was a short call, I was too happy to ask any more questions. You're right, "pester" was a poor choice of words. When support was available thru TRI, it was very good. They went as far as sending me patches on a CD and "walking me thru" instalation. I was not on the Internet and had not heard of Avsim. I found out FLY 2 is for sale directly thru Take Two Interactive for $14.95. Had I known that, I would NOT have gone thru Ebay. Not sure if the patches up to 210 are pre-applied, she said nothing had been altered so prolly not. I will buy a few copies from Take Two for christmas gifts, I am sure they are also tracking how well Shareware is doing. I bought the 777. Taken together, this points to a hopeful signs. Once again, glad F2Fd is expanding. We now return to our original topic...Best regards, Donny:-wave
