Bug: Missing challenge messages in VR

  • I did quite some time with Aerofly FS4 in VR, but as I now for the first time used a challenge on a normal screen, I noticed an element which is visible on a regular screen but I could not find in VR.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Start AFS4 on a regular screen
    2. Select any challenge
    3. Start a flight
    4. On the upper center screen edge a message box shows up, telling you what to do next.
    5. Start AFS4 in VR
    6. Select the same challenge
    7. As far as I can see there is no message box anywhere.

    ...and a feature idea

    If this were to work, this box could do even more. How about custom missions / challenges being able to show text box depending on your position, e.g. for tutorials, sight-seeing or missions with multiple compulsory wayoints (e.g. gliding, HEMS missions, air racing). Examples:

    • "Keep an eye out for the approach lights of … to your left."
    • "The majestic Mt. St. Helens is right in front of you."
    • "Set flaps to full to begin your approach."
    • "Set your NAV1 to 112.8 and turn the OBS to 342 to intercept the ILS."

    This could be solved by recycling some properties already present in custom missions:

    Now imagine being able to turn on/off the challenge guides as well as the new objective markers - this could cover a lot use interesting mission cases. ;)

    (And let me tell you next time about my idea of adding 3d objects on a per-mission-basis like Red Bull pylons, tethered ballons, etc.)

  • This is a good idea but we of course want these messages on any flight, not hand coded just for some missions.
