Anyone already tested the "Wettergeraet" does it work?
How about the Justflight planes, do they work?
Will my repaints of the F18, C172 still work?

If the repaints use the option.tmc that was used in the latest version of Aerofly FS 2 then those should still work.
Just copy them from your FS 2 user folder over to the new Aerofly FS 4 folder.
We're in contact with JustFlight, they want to offer their aircraft for Aerofly FS 4. The previous Aerofly FS 2 planes are not compatible with the new Aerofly FS 4 but I've already started converting them so that they can easily add them back for the new sim.
-
option.tmc is what I had to add at some point.
SDK btw is still the old one
-
Everything is OK for AFS2 textures

Does old homemade airports and sat. images work in AF4?
-
Same question.
-
Just tested custom project and only images and xref objects work properly. Airport runways incorrectly positioned and nothing else such as trees, 3d models and autogen building appear.
This was to be expected as IPAC's has already told us this, just need to wait for SDK.
-

That is a real pitty. Especially the 3D objects did cost a lot of work!
It would be good to get a converter from IPACS which changes the text files in a way, that the sceneries only need to be recompiled!
-
Hopefully converting all great freeware efforts will be made easier in the near future!
For now I will keep FS 2 installed with all the great freeware scenery and helicopters, we will see what FS 4 brings us in the future... -
Aerial images as well as elevation data is backwards compatible.
3D sceneries will need to be converted, but the amount of work required is really not high. However adjustments might be needed on how the data is organized, it will get more clear once we explain how the new system works.
But you will need our new tools which we will publish soon.

Thanks. Waiting with anticipation and hope that the explanation will be easy to understand.

We also don't really know how user content is organized, we did see some bad examples in the past so our tools will likely need some extra functionality to work smooth in our new system. As an example, in FS 2 one could create a cultivation file covering arbitrary regions, in FS 4 we now divide the data in equal sizes aligned to our generic world grid system. This has some advantages with respect to the performance on when and how data is loaded.
-
So the old aerial images just can be moved to the new Aerofly FS4 root and will work?
-
Yes, I have copied all image files 1:1 to FS4 and it works.
-
It worked very well for me (Canary Islands by Taburet, freeware of the Balearic Islands, Hawaii and Italy).
-
I also pass the images and it works very well, but the houses, buildings, trees, 3d objects do not work, in this new AFS4 it does not have the "Place" folder which we used for all that!
-
Actually, I was going to ask where the folder goes because my ortho scenery was in a folder within the steam root:
\steamapps\common\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator AddOns\scenery\iberia\ -
I used only the "elevation" and "images" folder for my scenerys. It works for me perfect with the cultivation of Aerofly FS 4.

Cultivation for Norway
Cultivation for the southern part of Norway is excellent. In fact, very accurate.
It will therefore be very welcome to expand this further north as well.
Has it not been mentioned that IPACS has developed a new tool for this (cultivation)?
