how do i add addons to aerofly fs 4 on steam ? macOS

  • You can save the addons in the user folder. On the Mac this is a bit hidden:

    • open the FINDER
    • go to "Go" in the menu bar
    • press and hold the "option" key to display the "Library" entry

    • click on this folder (the "option" key must be pressed)
    • change to your user directory:
      - /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4
    • addons for aircrafts belong here:
      - /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft
    • addons for airports (scernery) belong here:
      - /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/scenery/airports
    • addons for elevation (scernery) belong here:
      - /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/scenery/elevation
    • addons for images (scernery) belong here:
      - /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/scenery/images
    • addons for pois (scernery) belong here:
      - /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/scenery/poi


    To make things easier for me, I then placed the folder "Aerofly FS 4" in the sidebar.

  • Unfortunately, I only have the FS 4 in the STEAM version on my Mac.

    I also had the FS 2 in the AppStore version on my Mac. Unfortunately, I no longer have a record of how I got into my user directory back then. The way somehow went through either "package contents" or "hidden files". It might help to specifically search for "airports" or another directory name.
