    To achieve this, the object type of this geometry inside the TSC file needs to be 'object_transparent_atc'. So export the gras objects to their own TGI file and inside the TSC reference this special geometry and give it the typename 'object_transparent_atc'. Have a look at LOWI TSC for example:

    Code
    <[tmsimulator_scenery_object][element][0]
      <[string8][geometry][innsbruck_vegetation]>
      <[string8][type][YOUR_GRAS_OBJECT_NAME]>
      ...

    You folks will get all the help you need, just ask :), Orbx hasn't also done it.

    The main reason for not making it public in the Wiki yet is, that we would like to reserve the right to change this in the future and we don't want too many developers get used to something that will eventually change.

    In that case, you can use the internal 3D Studio Max animation features. Once a 3D Max file has those animations and you export the file, you will see a TMA file. This TMA file then needs to be referenced in the TSC file, its best to have a look at the existing places so you can see this.

    @RoyPettit: Making Aerofly RC VR compatible is something we are already planning. The major issue is however, the Aerofly RC with its current GUI is not really suitable for VR, basically any desktop based menu stuff is not very user friendly. So we are still experimenting and trying to decide whats the best way to make our RC Simulators VR compatible.

    Dalfrak,

    yes, this is possible, but its not officially documented as you can break the simulator with it if you do anything wrong here:

    The problem is most likely your CPU. You only have an entry level CPU with just a dual core and fairly low Cache memory. If Aerofly loads new stuff in the background you will likely hit the limitation of your dual core CPU.

    Also, it is strongly recommended to not tweak anything on your system, e.g. remove those tools that allow you to adjust some system settings, with Windows 10 this is not required at all and will likely mess up your system. Also, restore all your BIOS settings to default and also do not overclock. In most cases this does not help at all.

    When running Aerofly, ensure no other program is active in the background, especially your 'tweak tools' or other things like Skype, Browsers and so on.

    Ah ok. As fernsehturm.tsc is in 'web mercator' you have to change the following block

    If you can't deal with web mercator, use lonlat instead so it would look something like this

    But the fernsehturm is modelled with autoheight false so to adjust the position add a height offset to the line marked with XXXX

    The height parameter has no effect for object placement.

    The Tower position in the TSC does not place a 3D object there, its just for properly handling the 'tower view'.

    The tower is usually inside the TMB file as a virtual name which is then pulled from our XREF object library. You cannot modify this.

    If you ask us, the developers, we must also ask you: what can you do wrong with Aerofly? Adding all available AddOns, the sum of all your purchases for FSX is still significantly lower everything you can purchase for Aerofly. So why don't you give Aerofly a try and enjoy it for what it already offers? At its current state, we of course do not offer many things other simulators have, but on the other side we also have strengths where we excel existing simulators and its not only VR!

    Also to answer a few of your questions: No, we do not only focus on VR and we personally don't think it takes 80 GB to create a good looking scenery of England!

    Behind the scenes we are working on many other features like new regions, new airplanes ( and helicopters ) and of course new features. Aerofly is an evolving simulator so expect to see many exciting features. We can't promise anything at this point, but we can tell you we are fully dedicated to enhance and improve Aerofly FS.
