Steam on PC horrific???
Yes updates and purchase history works good.
It works far better and faster then the DVD alternative.
Steam updates are differential, only new files are downloaded and installed. If Steam is allowed to start with windows it can automatically update games in the background for you so that when ever you start Aerofly FS it is already updated. When you purchase new items in Steam it automatically downloads and installs them for you.
You can generate a desktop link via Steam like this:
or for VR you generate a link on the desktop with this entry:
That will start the game directly with steam in the background.
Hi.
The Steam application is horrific, primitive, slow, etc.
Have you tried changing the Steam server?
I had the same problem, but ever since I switched to another server, Steam is super fast.
Most likely yes.
Most likely yes.
Thank you. My question was because you only publish PC teaser screenshots. I was anxious so.
I normally do but I think you can use Aerofly FS2 (and SteamVR) offline too...Launching Steam will install new updates if needed.
When using a VR headset you click in Steam library on Aeofly FS2>play and choose to run in SteamVR, it will launch both SteamVR and Aerofly...
If you use Virtual Desktop (Quest app) with a Quest VR headset wireless like me you have to launch SteamVR in Virtual Desktop and launch Aerofly FS2 in Virtual Desktop after SteamVR is running.
You can create a desktop shortcut to start Aerofly FS 2. It's still launching Steam in the background first though. And it's possible to start Aerofly in Steam offline mode as well.
Frank, many years ago I was not in favour of Steam when it came up and I did not understand its business justification. I wanted my dvds or cd-roms and nobody additionally involved. In the meantime I wouldn't miss it. It makes life so much easier, especially when you have other games beside of Aerofly FS2. I also have Train Simulator, TSW, TSW2, DCS to name a few. It is so easy, everything in one place, allways up-to-date, very easy to buy and instsall additional content (DLC). I highly reccommend Steam.
The Steam version works exactly like the DVD version, controller assignments are set in the sim. I've never had to change any settings in Steam for my regular joystick and even VR works out of the box. I think the Steam controller settings are for certain hand held controllers or VR hand controllers to configure the behavior in Steam itself.
Don't know how to do that.
In Settings, there's a Music thumb, what the --?
Menu bar->preferences->downloads->download region.
I hope this helps.
