The shadow issues seem to be related to the Intel(R) Iris(TM) Plus Graphics 640 GPU. It looks like this GPU has an issue with the way we render shadows, e.g. it doesn't seem to support all required features, even though the GPU reports this back to us. You might want to experiment with the lowest shadow settings and see if the issue improves. We are not sure yet how to circumvent this bug on those GPU's.

@gsobala: If you have the Steam version of Aerofly FS you can install it on Windows and Mac OS, no need to purchase it again.
-
Could we see your tm.log if possible?
-
@SpaceCadet: We just recently added Aerofly FS to Steam for Mac OS. If you contact us at mail(at)ipacs.de with a copy of your receipt for Aerofly FS we can check if we can migrate you to the Steam version.
-
The question is if the move from Hetzner to another provider will fix the issue. Any suggestions with a good german located hosting provider are welcome, please write us to mail(at)ipacs.de.

nickhod: Drop us an email at mail(at)ipacs.de please

Sorry, but we don't know ourself why we get those random slow downs or connectivity issues.

Matchstick: Do you have any user sceneries installed? If yes, can you run the test and send tm.log without those?
-
@Matchstick: We are currently evaluating these issues. Could you let us know under what circumstances you observe this crash, so we can try to reproduce the issue on our side? We have a 5600 XT and RX 580 for testing, but both AMD cards work fine with current AMD drivers.
-
@BeaglePup: Never copy anything into that folder you showed on the screenshot. The folder you are looking for is '~/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-2-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 2/'
-
What kind of response do you actually get? Slow website or any error messages?
-
We will investigate this issue, please report to this thread again, if you observe a slow website and tell us the approximate time this happens.
-
The Android beta version is at the same level now as the iOS version. Check that you installed version 20.20.17
-
Anybody who wants to try out the latest version of Aerofly FS 2020 on Android, opt into the public beta using this link:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/c…y.aeroflyfs2020
Any feedback would be appreciated.
-
Thank you for your detailed report here. Please give us some time to look into this issue, we will contact you via email.
-
We intend to add Germany in a next major version of Aerofly FS, but please don't ask when, it's still too early.
-
Can you please run the same test in non VR mode as well, e.g. does it crash only when using VR?

Like we mentioned before, publishing a road map is something we don't do, not because we don't want to say what we are working on, but a road map is putting a lot of pressure on us for various reasons. Software development in certain areas is very hard to estimate time wise, e.g. if we say we work on ATC, weather or traffic, our users want to know 'when' to expect this feature and what it will include. But we are in this business now for over 20 years and we have seen that it is very difficult to properly estimate the time it takes to finish a certain feature. Thats why we decided not to publish anything. unless we are sure when we can guarantee a release date.
It's also very difficult to communicate to our users how complex it is to implement certain features. E.g. when we talk about weather, we have to consider the graphical part, the simulation part and in case of future Multiplayer support, reproducibility. This is extremely complex stuff. When we work on a feature, we also want to ensure it's compatible for the various platforms we support. As it stands now, Aerofly FS supports Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android and our code base and resource files are 99.5% the same on all platforms. We do not prefer one platform over the other, anything we work on will always be available for all platforms eventually.
Again, our philosophy is to create a realistic, good performing and yet easy to use flight simulator. There is no question other products are better in certain areas as we are, but we also now that many users out there like the way we do it. It's what we want to focus on with our future development.
And before this is getting to speculative: We are financially very well positioned and do not need any investors, loans or other help.
And yes, creating this post has costed us roughly 15 minutes of time, so we would like to get back to work again and invest this time into some extra code lines instead.
