Awesome, thanks Andre. I installed the updated maps (along with the updated SanFran maps I managed to get off the scratched DVD). I then took a Beechjet down to SFO from Olympia, over the course of a few evenings and stopping off once or twice. Was really impressed when I crossed into SanFran region and it loaded the region data midflight, made for a very immersive experience even after all these years.

If you could upload it somewhere that would be great. It's annoying using the 'default' map as all the approach plates etc I have printed out are for the '08 version.

I dusted off FU3 for the first time in years the other day and had a quick fly around. I found my copy of the Seattle update some kind soul had burnt to DVD and posted but I've just tried it and it's got a massive scratch down it. Can anyone help? The library only seems to have sea0802.zip but no sea0801.zip!

Hi all,I'm just reinstalling FU3 after a HDD failure and I've got a few questions:1. What are the 'recommended' flt3.cfg options? I seem to remember that there was a 'mega' cfg floating around that fixed a lot of the issues with sky banding.2. I am using a PS2 joypad (I know, it's not great but it's allI have) and I've lost my joykeys.cfg, can someone post theirs so I can rebuild my one. I am particularly interested in how you can cycle the views on a button press, how to stop the throttle being auto assigned to one of the axis (I prefer it on the X and square buttons)Any help greatfully accepted and thanks to all those guys who have sent me the updates on DVD!

Bad news I'm afraid. My 2TB drive with my FU3 install has gone titsup, taking with it my entire music collection, including some songs I had written myself. I *think* I've got copies of it elsewhere but I hope I haven't lost it all!I am in the process of reinstalling but I'm getting stuck on a few bits, I'll start a new thread for those.

I've just sat down from a break from FU3 to play it again and I'm getting this irritating message. I have added an extra drive to my computer so I am assuming it's due to that. I've tried editing REGIONS/SEATTLE/region.cfg but this doesn't seem to make any difference.What do I need to do to fix my FU3 installation?

I'd like to setup an ILS system at Bristol and Filton, but I can't seem to find a tutorial on how to set it up. I've had a look at the ones already done and I can't see what I'm doing different? Where is the glideslope beacon supposed to go?

Exactly what I was after, thanks agtim!

Yep, thats the process I was using, I figured out early on I didn't have to regenerate 5-7 each time. I still have problems getting it right though. Is there an easy way too overlay what you can see in FLED (printscreen?) onto the tga files, as I find it very hard to judge where the airport would be. Also how would I go about fixing that area so the exact coordinates fit? I've got an airport setup now, although I need to read up on how to create runway models, as it looks a little complicated. At the moment I am using one of the stock models but it's a bit too long. I have to admit it's a very good scenery pack. Flying along the coast around Porlock and Minehead in the Mooney is perfect, 12 miles from the St Athans VOR at 212deg ;-) Great job guys!

Ah ok, manage to figure out most of what I wanted through RTFM. I used a combination of FLED to get the tile name, GeoTileViewer to extract the TGA, GIMP (with RLE disabled, of course) to edit and then used level57maker to regenerate. I still have a few questions, but I might start another thread for those.

More oddness, I've made a simple airport at EGDX following the instructions in the help file. It loads up ok but it seems that halfway down the runway it turns into water! I'm assuming that this is because it is at a lower height than the water nearby. How do I go about flattening airports?

Ah, that helps a lot, thanks. The only problem I have now is that when I put those coordinates into FLED, it goes to Watchet/Minehead area instead of St. Athans. I am guessing there is something in my flt3.cfg that is wrong. EDIT: It appears the coords in FLED are 51 36.690307, 3 25.665621 Odd.

I'm hopelessly stuck here. I'd like to add this VOR beacon to UK-South:http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?nav=ST+ATHAN&nav_id=SAT&nav_type=3 I can figure out how to move and add beacons but I can't figure out how to convert the coordinates into something I can put into FLED? Little help?

Got them, thanks again Chris. EDIT: I seem to not be able to do challenges now, they are greyed out? Something in the advanced configuration file is causing it, as my old flt3.cfg lets me play the challenges on my new install. Wierd. EDIT2: Duuh, I forgot to change the region back to Seattle in the 'Airport' section.

If you could upload your region updates that would be great, thanks Chris! Just reinstalling FU3 now.
