Hi, I uploaded it today and now it's there, order fu3 avsim list by date - then it's the first one :-) Thanks to the library manager for a quick service Andre

Hi, The sea0801.zip (85MB) was lost at the last crash of the avsim lib. originally loaded by Jon Point. I have the version 25.12.2007 I can try to load it at avsim or do you have another suggestion ? Andre

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all FU3 flier :-) Andre

Same view from FU3 simulation with Dash-8

This flight was not a simulation using John Point's Dash - it was a real one :-) after boarding in Basel short after takeoff from Basel on the way to Vienna after 1:25 landing in Vienna Andre

Hi Bruce, Long time since last contact :-), Your night lightng will be welcome :-) but not urgent. Regards Andre

Here you can see a complex airport with floodlights. Unfortunately FU3 can just illuminate the ground but not the plane. actually my activities have moved to Android Apps, but don't expect to see FU3 on your smart phone :-) Andre

over Lopez Island Orcas Island ahead Reaching Point Roberts Aligning to final at Boundary Bay Airport don't stop flying with FU3 :-) Andre

Hi Hans Petter,Did you try the DDFIX solution, see the pinned enty above. With DDFIX you can set the screen to other resolution than defined in FU3Good LuckAndre

When after FSS Challenge start you don't see taxiway lines and you can't speak to ground ( Message: move to the airport first !?!? )Just exit FU3, restart it , select FSS Challenge again and then taxilines will be visible and you can enter start command.Don't take a flight to Wasserman - this is a one way flight :-) The runway is not recognized by FSS and so you get taxi too fast when you try to start.cheats are necessary for this unfinished game, you must know the parking spot location in advance to minimize fines, I takes the Mooney to be quicker at the destination and for the autopilot too :-)Andre

Just finished the first flight using FSS v0.7After removing the browser check and the version check and also modify the BootFU3 call I get it running right :-)I had the zip since years but never found the time to use it :-) now it's doneFeel free to ask more if you want to use it too.Andre

To make it working you will have to modify start.htm and main.htm of the client folder in FSS.The jscript in start.htm do the check of the browser version.<script language = JScript>function start(){ location.href="main.htm";} if(clientInformation.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE 5.5") > 0) { }else if(1 > 0) // with this it will work for all browsers { }else if(clientInformation.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE 6.0b") > 0) { }else if(clientInformation.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE 6.0") > 0) { }else { document.location.href = "badIE.htm"; }</script> the jscript in main.htm is checking the validation date.<script language = JScript>var myPlane;function init(){ // freshnessCheck(); <-- this is the validation check inactivated by // myPlane = new aircraft(); nFlightsManager = new flightsManagerObj(); airportManager = new airportManagerObj(); sFlightManager = new specialOpsManagerObj(); storeManager = new storeManagerObj(); myPlane.init(); syncWorldTime(); setInterval('syncWorldTime()',60000 * 15); setTimeout('loadWorld()',1); //webInit();}//towToFBO()//onclick="gotoAirportScreen(myPlane.airport)"function shakeIt(e,t){ shaker.targetElement = e.uniqueID; shaker.to = t; shaker.beginElement();}</script> This alone is not all, you must set an application path to FU3 in the registry if not there. The original installation of LG is doing this but if you move the FU3 folder then it's the wrong path and FU3 will not start.This is my path for FU3:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionApp PathsFLIGHT3.EXE]@="F:Flight3flight3.exe""path"="F:Flight3" Version 07 of FSS has a well done pdf tutorial.The development was stalled since long :-( but Dexter Cofa did a huge coding work and menus remembering the start menu of FU2.All jscript in htm and js are encoded, but using the online tool http://www.greymagic.com/security/tools/decoder/ and pasting the encoded text into the window you will see the decoded jscript. Then you can replace the encoded script by the opened script and modify it.By this way it will be possible to bring this excellent challenge back to life :-)...more questions ?good luckAndre

Hi Steve,There is FSS version 07 in my FU3 zip folder :-)2 zipsfss_v07.zip 7.8MB and fss_v07_1.zip 24KB as a small update of the fist.If you are interested contact me by email, see www.agtim.ch as referenceIf AVSIM will, I can upload the zips to the libraryBest regards and good flights during 2012 to allAndre

The white triangle occurs mostly in totally flat areas, so what you can do is making the elevation of the area not totally flat but up and down on each elevation point about +/- 2 ft.This is harmless for taxiing and the may be the texture will then look ok.

Hi Grégoire,This graphic error is for all graphic card and systems, no change to get it away. It's an error inside the 3D computation of the visibility of a surface. The so called normal vector is inversed by special angles of view , so it is switched to see the back face and this has no color or is transparent. You can see such effects when you go inside a building or model too.So your card is ok and your XP system too, may be you can upgrade to XP SP3 but this will not change anything for FU3.I am running FU3 with XP SP3 and a NVIDIA 8600GT card. A last suggestion for the graphic problem : try DDFIX with a higher resolution of the screen, may be this can help, but less probable.Andrè

it's good to read this, I think you will have to desable the on board card and put a NVIDIA 3D card in your computer if it's a desktop.sorry the path is in the region.cfg inside of each region folder: reg_cd_pathAndre

1. What is your graphic card ?2. try to run FLED3. Check if you have to modify the path in fu3.cfg file, if the copied fu3 from stick is not in the same path than on the xp systemgood luckAndre

zip is on the wayAndre

I have a version with exe date 25.06.2001 and the zip size is larger than the one on the old FU3 page of Markus (it's not his original page but a mirror archive of it.Anyway I never used it in the last time, if you want the zip just send a mail and I will send it on return.Andre

Hi Andy,I hope you keep your old hard disk, then the easy way is just to copy the full FU3 folder to the new drive.That way all patches and settings are ready. For the UK-south region this way is the only feasible installation.good luckAndre

Here is a link to get DDFIX 1.1.1 but result during my test was an error message indicating dirctx 6 or higher needed !?!http://www.mediafire.com/?31844vmebl1l111may be it will work for you, good luckAndre

:-( too bad, same result and I tried to modify params in the ddfix ini file with no results.It must be a special graphic call used in the front view, you can activate panel movements in the front view, but not on the side view - no switches or instruments in the side views.I had downloaded the source but it's anywhere in my backups and no more online. I can try to find it if you want try to modify the assembly code.sorry , there are actually no solution .

Which plane ?

Hi NaJi, glad to help you, I have tested DDFIX in 2008 and wrote the tutorial but it was Juvat who found the DDFIX for the Thief project of Looking Glass.Actually I don't use it, because I have no problems with my old XP system and Nvidia GEForce 8600 GT :-)Good to hear that it will help on new hardware.have a good flightAndre

Hi Jim,Thanks for this link :-)Have just given a try - its working even with my old sound-card joystick. A bit slow and missing left/right quick view switching.Much much better than the earlier version.here screen shots of Eisenberg and Coupeville NolfTry it ! :-)Andre
