We have just updated our website with a new tutorial on how to add your own POIs ( point of interests, like buildings, bridges and so on ) to Aerofly FS. Have a look here
It would be great to receive some feedback.
New Aerofly FS POI Tutorial and tools
-
The new page is also interesting for MAC- and LINUX-User.

As feedback on MacOS, trying to do a conversion with ttx_etc2 gives the following error:

Only way to bypass the error is to set mipmaps = False
Note: the error doesn't get written in the tm.log, only in terminal. -

Note: the error doesn't get written in the tm.log, only in terminal.I can confirm. Also, setting Mipmaps to false will successfully convert it to etc2 however I’ve noticed the resulting TTX file will only work with Vulkan. It will not work with OpenGL for mobile phones. Might be worth looking into.

SageMage Does that happen with the example Denver POI we included?
Hello, sorry of the delay - I didn't expected an answer on a Sunday.
Tests done on MacOS:- Downloaded the gz from the page again so to avoid any .tmc shenanigans
- removed the security protections
- run "bash aerofly-fs-convert-pois-macos.sh"

No feedback but a question:
What do I have to enter on a TMB that already exists as a text file so that a POI is displayed in the "Location" menu when "Landmarks" is active there?
