GT: Capn Dondo longtime flight simmer, working my way through missions and challenges. Feel free to add me as friend, I'll do the same.

Kind of ironic, I'm reading about Flight on an iPad.....<X-filestheme.mp3> :Nerd:

Count me in as a Forza fan......yes, the. Turn 10 developers are car nuts IMO . If the Flight things even gets 50% of the Forza thing, it could really go far.

Gamer tag: Cap'n DondoForza 4, NASCAR the game 2011, Race Pro and now Flight.

Ah, that worked, thanks!

I can't seem to get Games for Windows installed, much less Flight. It downloads the file, tried to install then tells me it failed. All the support thing tells me is try again.Any idea's.Pc is plenty fast enough, drivers etc updated, win 7 64x,Pieter

Coolp, thanks! I guess that was the problem, or the issue, or the setting. The computer was doing exactly as it was told!Thanks for all the replies from everyone. This is a great place to get help.Dondo

Hello everyone. I guess the title of this thread relly says it all. I have the engine and cockpit sounds pumping though the 5.1 surround speakers and ATC voices using my USB headset. When ATC talks to anyone (not just me), the engine and cockpit noises fade down quite low and then resume normal volume about 1 minute after the ATC transmission is finished. Some of you may think that this would be a pretty cool feature. I guess I don't mind it too much, although it does take me "out of the game" a little when it happens. It happens when I am using the default ATC. When using voxatc, everything works the way it is supposed too. I have dug around a little and can't find a setting for this "feature bug". Is there something in the cfg file that controls this?ThanksDondo

I am trying to work on south central Kansas. From about the Oklahoma border up to Salina. They would be globe tiles:185,157186,157187,157187,156186,156Although, given the opportunity, I would render all of Kansas if possible. Once upon a time, I did just that. However those CD's are long gone.If FTP is possible, that would be great, otherwise I would send disks and/or shipping postage to whomever has that data.Dondo

I installed TS2.1 and started my new project, however the data that TS is trying to download does not seem to be available. I am trying to regenerate some of the scenery in Kansas and the data at wingswithwires does not seem to be hosted anymore. Does anyone have any data for Kansas they would be willing to share? Is that data hosted somewhere else that I can point TS?Dondo

Thanks guys. Those pics inspired me enough to reinstal and apply the ROTW dvd. After a little bit of tweaking, I managed to get it working on my win7 machine. I added in some of my custom scenery and remembered one of the reasons that I moved on. About every 5 mind, flyII will crash out with a texture load problem. I am thinking that maybe if I install terramodels and terrascene, maybe I might figure out the problem. Is the TS data still online for download?

I have been kicking around the idea of reinstalling Fly!II for quite awhile now. I remember back in the day how many hours I spent creating scenery (Terrascene/Terramodels), and creating accurate taxiways for almost every airport in Kansas. Man, those were the days. I spent way more time messing around in Fly!II then I did flying it. I also remember the patching process, which was lengthy as well as the max screen res of 1024x768. Not sure how that is going to look on a 24" monitor, but I'm willing to try. Help get me back in the mood, lets post some screen shots from Fly!II. Cockpits, scenery, aircraft, anything. I think my favorite plane to fly was the Malibu. I currently hold the position of Hutchinson Airport Manager and we have one of the busiest Piper Malibu/Meridian/Matrix service centers in the United States. Everyday they run up those planes less than 500 from from my office door and it takes me back to my Fly!II days.Need some pictures.. :-)Have a good weekend everyone.Dondo

I searched for this answer and ended up with about 1000+ posts. HA!Can anyone tell me if the Eaglesoft Beechjet 400a for FS9 will work in FSX? I forgot that I purchased that sucker a couple of years ago. I remember that I bought it because I wanted something that could take me around the FS world and I cut my business jet "teeth" on the Flight Unlimited Beechjet. I loved that thing in FU2/3 and I really enjoyed the 400a for FS9. I see that it is available for FSX so that leads me to believe that I will most likely have to repurchase it for FSX, but I thought I'd ask here first.Thanks!Dondo

Where did you get this plane? I've been looking for something better than the default X-Plane 172.Nice video btw...didn't know you could do that kind of stuff in a 172 :)Dondo

right clicked the shortcut and checked the "Run in XP SP3" mode...all is good. Spent about 20 mins editing KHUT, have a pretty decent start but the more I start editing, the more I what to change!Dondo
