Tm log if it helps

The tm.log looks fine. No issues there. It also looks like the simulator ran for 90 seconds.

As a test, open the file called main.mcf that is in the same location as the tm.log file. Open it with a text editor and look for the line with 'graphics_use_vulkan'. Set this option to 'false'.

Try to start Aerofly FS again. Does it then work?

Can you check if you can update the NVIDIA driver?
