Hi,Thanks for opening it back up. Looking forward to Saturday!Victor

I'm not sure if I'm posting this on the right forum, but is the registration for the Saturday night social at O'Hare still open? I can't seem to register.Thanks,Victor

Thanks for the info! I will take a look at those tweaks as soon as I can. I also ordered Fly!II on Ebay, and it should arrive in a couple of days.Victor

Hi Roger,Thanks for your helpful reply! I installed Fly! on my old Dell laptop that has an ATI X300 with 128mb video ram. It seems I have fixed most of my problems. Although there's no inverse settings in-game, in the fly.ini there's a "swapaxisXX" line for every axis of the game. It's just a matter of finding the right axis and set that to "1". For graphics I changed the renderer from "trid3d" to "tridx6" and the graphic problems disappeared, although there is a slight drop in frame rate.Now the only problems I have are blur textures on some aircraft (especially the Navajo) and terrain. For terrain, the ground textures seems to randomly flicker between the high resolution and low resolution versions as I get close to a high resolution area.Looks like I just have to get a copy of Fly!II after seeing all the quality addons available for it. Its a shame that I didn't discover all this sooner... Looking forward to it!Victor

Couple of days ago I stumbled across a used copy of the original Fly! in a local game store for only 3 bucks. Since it came with a nice thick manual I picked it up and loaded it on my laptop. I must say I am very impressed with the panels and systems modeling! Being an avid MSFS simmer for years, I couldn't believe I totally over looked this series ten years ago! I do have some questions however:1. What exactly is the difference between Fly! and Fly!2k? I patched my copy to 1.01.88, does this bring it up to the Fly!2k level?2. Is there a guide to editing the fly.ini, render.ini, and VCF files? I have some graphic flickering and texture blurriness problems, and I guess I need to do some optimizations?3. The mixture and prop levers on my CH yoke is inversely mapped to the game. Any way to fix this?Seems like the community has all moved on to Fly!II a while ago, so the answers to these questions are very hard to find. I will likely try to find a copy of Fly!II soon.Victor

How did you uninstall it? Did you delete the "iFly" folder in your main FS9 folder after uninstall?

If you like Soviet planes, there's a really nice An-14 in the library here. It has an absolutely beautiful VC, and it claims to be able to land "across" a runway!

Isn't the RealAir one free?

Thanks for the response guys! JD, expect a purchase in a month!Victor

I plan to buy RC in about a month but after browsing the forums I realized that version 5 is in the works. Is there an expected time frame for the v5 release? And if I purchase v4.3 now, will my license carry over to v5?Victor

I don't have the Alphasim T-6, but the .cab file should go into the panel folders directly and should not have the contents extracted. You can also put the .cab file in the "gauge" folder in the main FS9 directory so that all three panels can reference it. Did the airplane come with a readme?Victor

>>I have the captain sim Hercules for FS9 (Just flight boxed>>version) and i can start the plane in the virtual cockpit,>and>>without using ctrl+E :-hmmm >>>well, that begs the question - can you start it using the 2D>panels??I have the C-130 and I can start the engines fine in 2D. Maybe the proper procedure was not followed? There's a very nice tutorial available here in the library.Victor

:-eek Amazing! Loving the night lighting!

I run FS9 on a laptop and blurries don't seem like a big problem unless I fly ridiculously fast. I bought the Mid-Atlantic package a while ago because I use to live in DC, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it since. My only gripe is that I cannot find any Dulles scenery that will align with it, so I'm stuck with Megascenery's default Dulles, which isn't that exciting. Anyone know of one that does? Freeware or payware?Victor

I think the AC fan noise comes from the panel itself and not the aircraft sounds in the sounds folder. Look in the "Feelthere" folder in your main FS9 folder and see if you can find the fan sound there. You can then reduce the volume with a wav editor. Hope that helps.Victor
