Can't start Aerofly FS4 anymore. It stops loading immediately (2 sec) after pushing start in Steam. Has any update been loaded today?

Any problem with Aerofly FS4?

It works fine for me this morning.

Something must have been changed. My Aerofly FS4 exe ist from 9.1.2023 19:07 (version 4.1.3.7). Since then the sim does not start anymore.

It has to do with OpenGL and Vulkan. Aerofly FS4 does not start with OpenGL anymore. If I set to Vulkan in main.mcf everything works fine.
-
I can confirm it. I have most of the time OpenGL. Just gave it a try, got a small update and the sim doesn't start anymore.
tm.log attached.

Maybe try updating your nvidia driver to the latest one. I normally use DDU in safe mode to properly uninstall previous drivers.

Good point, Tom. I missed indeed the latest update.
Unfortunately, also with the newest driver (528.02) I still get the same CTD.

Looking at your log file it was a very old driver. You’ll need to use DDU in safe mode to properly uninstall and your current driver. Google how to do this. Otherwise contact ikarus support including your latest log file.

We can confirm that the OpenGL renderer in FS 4 is indeed broken. We will fix this ASAP. Since Vulkan is the recommended renderer anyway, it's a good chance to use that one instead.
-
This issue is now fixed, again we strongly recommend to use the Vulkan renderer instead.

I'm using OpenGL still and I have version 4.01.03.05. Is version 4.1.3.7 the Beta one...? I'm having no issues......should I switch to the Vulkan software....?
-
If you have no issues don't do anything. Vulkan is the preferred renderer of IPACS. However I prefer OpenGL, have the better performance and better low shadow display.
-
Um, I got an update tonight to version 4.01.03.09..when I fired up the SIM?
What was it....?

Don't worry, nothing new, just a little bug concerning OpenGL that has been resolved. We can't even call it an update, but a patch.
