Somehow my main executable got corrupted and the game won't start normally.
Renaming or deleting the file and next verifying integrity in Steam won't work.
I am apparently left with either replacing it with a healthy copy or re-installing the lot....
Just do a Steam integrity check on Aerofly FS 2, it should require the missing file.
As I wrote "verifying integrity in Steam won't work".
It says:
Validating Steam files - 100% complete
All successfully validated Close
... and the executable is not even there to begin with nor afterwards for that matter.
Should we possibly look for a way to get a message "Validating Aerofly FS2 files..."?
Your guidance is appreciated.

Something is 'fishy' on your system. Why did the EXE file get removed at all? Do you have some kind of virus tool installed here?
Remove the complete folder 'bin64' and repeat the validate function. If the folder is there and a few DLLs also but not the EXE, then something on your system is messing around here.
Are you sure you have a LEGAL copy ?????
It works! It finally works!!
More particularly the integrity check system did its job as designed, including giving out right from the start a conclusive clean bill of health where its recovery process had yet to start and was going to need more than half an hour to conclude with succes.
I did not realise that the missing executable had to be delivered through the update system, which takes an awful lot of time as we all experience.
So mr/ms admin you were right, I was wrong and reminded to not take every message for granted.
By the way, larrylynx, my copy is LEGAL. Not so sure of my ATPL tough...
Thanks everybody and best wishes.
