And yet another vote for the TFDi Design B717!

Sorry for the time in responding on this. I have both S3Dxport3.zip and S3Dxport4.zip in my files. Message me with info if either of these are what you are looking for. Without Chris Wallace's direct permission, am unable to re-upload to the library. Cheers, Ken

In fact it was the 757, followed by the 767: Precision Manuals Development Fly! Airliner Series 757-200 v1.0 - 12/17/99 Fly! Airliner Series 767-200/300 Add-on for 757-200ER Owners Copyright © 1999-2000 Precision Manuals Development Group They followed up with the release of the 757 and the 777 for Fly! II : PMDG AIRLINER SERIES 757-200 V2.14 Build 09MAY02 VERSION 2.14 FLY!2 AIRLINER SERIES 777-200IGW V2.11 Build 27AUG01 VERSION 2.11 I still use these aircraft to this day as I am a diehard Fly! / Fly!II enthusiast. :wink:

I can say that under Win 10 TP P3D V2.5 does in fact work - but my nVidia GTX650 suffers with the beta driver from nVidia. Within an hour or so of flying the GPU is heating up and the fan kicks into high speed (noisy); and does cause lockups in the sim to point of having to reboot my machine (running on slower i5 processor (locked 3.40GHz - not able to OC). nVidia Inspector Tweaks included for FSX/P3D V1.x all seem to go for SLI tandem , thus do nothing in my case. Win 10 itself does not appear to be the culprit. nVidia has released only the one beta driver version (I check for updates nearly every day), and I will assume P3D V2.5 simply does not like my GTX 650 (re: not powerful enough for the graphics). Heck - I even have heating issues with Sims 3 for the kids, whether or not using the nVidia Inspector tweaks or Global settings provided. So IMHO Win 10 won't be the issue - rather the video drivers. Since you have updated your video card you more than likely should have little issues other than the full DX 12 compatibility - that will be dependent upon LM.

Having been with AVSIM practically since it's inception, I have watched all the wonders and pitfalls that have crossed this community's path. Still, when news of this nature comes to the forefront, it always leaves me dumbfounded and asking "Why this person?" As aptly stated in so many posts prior to mine, I can only add my voice of thanks to you, Tom - for bringing AVSIM to life and keeping it going through all the turmoils - and add my prayers and blessings to you and your family in this final challenge. Like Richard Harvey, you'll be fondly remembered for your courage in the face of adversity, and for the advancement of our flight simming hobby. May you - like Rich, soar with the Eagles and Angels alike. Smooth Skies!

To all in the Fly! Forum, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New year! Ken

Hello fellow Fly!ers, Been very quiet here, but thought I would let you know that the english version of volEdit by Didier Rigault (ROTW) is now back in the library under development category. Didier was kind enough to provide me permission to upload the file, and any others that might be missing and not available on the ROTW site. So, if there is something Didier provided but is not here, let me know - if I have it I will post it back to the library. Cheers!

Was going through some of the library files on TerraScene area many of us had done and of course was reacquainted with Randall Rocke's efforts to supply new shapefiles from the 2000 Tiger census info. So checked out my old link and redirected to the Census website for Tiger shapefiles. Low and behold - there is new 2013 files available! Soooo... am thinking while I am unable to work I may redo my Atlanta, Kings Bay sceneries (areas I frequent most right now) and maybe restart my Oklahoma and Puget Sound efforts with the updated roads, rails, etc. All I have to do now is get to my files so I can re-read Randall's instructions on the use of the shapefiles! LOL Hopefully I can also remember just how to use TerraScene!!! Thought if anyone else in the old group is around and wishing, they might like to know about the new data. If anyone is interested and still has Fly! II loaded with TerraScene as well, just download one of Randall's update files mentioning the Tiger Census 2000 files for the correct method of inserting the shapefiles into TerraScene for rendering new, updated sceneries. Thankfully I have an extra computer available to do the renderings!

In Win7, did you set Fly! II to run under Administrator rights and turn UAC off? Also, I found in some cases if I were to run Fly! II under WinXP compatibility mode for Service Pack 2, I had less problems. I run FLy! II on its own HDD with all scenery on same drive, so I've not really needed the feature. Might give above a try if you have not yet and see if that helps. Can always try Win98 compat mode, too! :lol: Cheers! Ken

Hi Randall, I still occasional issues under Win8 with Fly! II - namely video issues. Seawind for instance, with the 2D panel (*STILL* trying to work on a 3D version after all these years!) loves to cause flashing with this GTX650 I have. I may yet head back to Win7 as it seems more stable for my setup of Fly! II. What loss of controls have you experienced under Win7? I never really noticed much as long as I run everything under Administrator rights. Trial and error with the Compatibility modes from Properties tab tend to smooth some things over (such as video display). At Simvol, you can post in all forums in English. For topics in French I use Reverso Translation website which does a nice job. :smile: Likewise, I should get off my duff and upload a couple of sceneries I've done for Fly! II. Runway fixes for 4J6 (my nearest airport) and I added KPUJ up in my old county. It is just trying to get things looking good with Terra Models. Will have to go back and do some tweaking and hope to have something decent soon. To ensure I get the correct scenery files, et. al. will most likely have to reload from scratch on the older computer and then can ensure I have all the right files. Best regards,

Good to see you stopping in, Randall. Yes, it has been very quiet in here as most stopping in are looking for files AVSIM no longer has due to the Hack attack. See the occasional post for help with render / vcf files, but sadly very little going on in here. Hope your holidays were good! Best regards,

Hi Richard, Will need more information from you... what is your computer operating system and type of graphics card? Will help to know this in order to help you figure out where the issue is. Thanks!

We're in luck, Dominique! It was for Fly! II and I do have an intact zipfile on hand. Will see what I can do over the next couple days... Cheers, Ken

Hi Dominique! Happy New Year! Was the scenery for Fly! or Fly! II? I'll go through my files and if I have the right one, I'll refer theLib staff to this post and see if they will let me upload it. Cheers, Ken

To all fellow Fly!ers and Sim enthusiasts - Wishing all a wonderful and safe Holiday season and an even better 2014! Ken
