Steam users and 3rd party planes

  • Please check if this path or similar exists:
    Macintosh HD⁩/Users⁩/…/Library⁩/Containers⁩/com.aerofly.aerofly-rc-10-mac/⁨Data⁩/⁨Library/Application Support⁩/aerofly RC 10/
    In Windows it's just in user documents directory.

    Inside that folder there should be an aircraft folder and an aircraft_mod folder.

  • Thanks Jan - I've found:

    /Users/xxxx/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-rc-7

    /Users/xxxx/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-rc-8

    /Users/xxxx/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-rc-9

    but no ⁩/Users⁩/…/Library⁩/Containers⁩/com.aerofly.aerofly-rc-10-mac/⁨

  • I think it is here:

    /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft

    This folder is out of the Aerofly FS 4 installation folder so you don't change the original if you add something (or delete something).

    There is also a folder for scenery.

    In the aircraft folder, a plane will be a subfolder and its liveries subfolders again.

    You can even add liveries to a default aircraft, for example the existing A320:

    /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft/a320/A320 First Flight Test

    In that case the a320 folder only contains subfolders of liveries because the original one in the installation contains the aircraft.

    PS: to access your library folder, open the Finder, menu Go to, maintains the ⌥ key and select Library.

  • Thanks everyone, I have it sorted now - there are two directories to consider:

    1. All 3rd party planes go into this directory:

    /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/aerofly RC 10/aircraft

    2. All custom configs of planes go in this one:

    /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/aerofly RC 10/aircraft_mod

    Only Steam should install anything into the Steam folders. If you or third party add-ons are installed into the Steam folder then they can get deleted at any time without warning. Please install user content and third party content into the user folder if you want to keep it.

    Please try and use this folder for user made aircraft
    /Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/aerofly RC 10/aircraft/

    and this for user made aircraft modifications|
    /Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/aerofly RC 10/aircraft_mod/

    And this for user made sceneries:
    /Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/aerofly RC 10/scenery/

  • Thanks again Jan,

    I followed your instructions:

    Aircraft here: /Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/aerofly RC 10/aircraft/

    Aircraft Modifications here: /Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/aerofly RC 10/aircraft_mod/

    And can confirm that they work :)


    However, 3rd party sceneries from RC8 and RC9 crash RC10 when I try to load them (or don't appear). Do you have any tips on a fix for this or is it a bug that I should submit?

  • Sceneries are not compatible unfortunately. We have changed the file structure and cleaned up the old mess that it was. It is now much more streamlined.

    it would be easier for us to provide landscape conversion tools like for RC7
