The airports in the airport creation tool are considered "detailed airports". On the other hand we have global airports, which are auto-generated based on other sources, not hand made. We're of course going to improve the algorithm to create these global airports at higher quality, perhaps add terminal buildings, etc. The man-made airports, when they exist, can then add higher detail when the certain region or DLC is installed. We probably cannot ship all airports at once, not at least in the mobile version, where we are limited to 4GB in storage space.

Hi IPCAS,
I noticed two (2) 777 aircraft under FS4 "Aircraft" folders:
1. b777
2. b777_300er
"b777" is an empty folder, and "b777_300er" does not have a TMD file with camera views.
Is there a full 777 TMD file available to be viewed/changed?
Thanks
The main TMD file has moved to the base folder and the base TMDdefines the available cameras and the parameters.tmd sets the positions of the camera. All this is in preparation for other variants of the 777, like the 777-200. As you can imagine most of the TMD is shared between both aircraft and only a few parameters are changed for the -300ER
If you want to add new camera positions to the 777-300ER then change the b777_300er.tmd file just like before.

The slot of the flap is too large at the moment but that is an easy fix.
-
I have found the issue and fixed it internally and it should roll out with the next updates.

I don’t know how to do that can you please show me how to switch to vulkan
I cant switch to vulkan can you please fix crashes thanks
Ok thanks. We're working on a fix for the Steam Deck.
If you are using the beta please switch back to the normal version for now.

At an altitude constraint, the A380 PFD does no longer show the targeted flight level above the altitude band (see the attachment). But, the climb will start again after the constraint as expected.
Do you have a video where I can see this happening in the real aircraft?
The A320 does not show the selected altitude as long as it is in the ALT CST or ALT CST* mode and instead only shows the constraint altitude above or below the tape when it is off-scale. When the altitude is within the visible range of the altitude tape the fixed readout is replaced by the moving altitude bug. So far the A380 matches that exact same behavior. But if you find any video of the real behavior I am happy to change it.

Regarding the crashes, is it possible for you to switch from OpenGL to Vulkan renderer in the graphics settings?
The network connection does not need to be very fast if you are just casually flying around.
-
Propwash is implemented, yes.

Thanks for the report.

As the number of flights increases. These caches will also increase. How do we clean up content I don’t need? This feature is something laptops desperately need.
I don't actually know if admin has programmed an upper bound to the cache yet.
The cache files are stored in your documents folder as far as I can tell, if you delete the files in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Aerofly FS 4\resource_files it should clear the cache if you ever run out of space.

Ok thanks for letting me know cheers
Oh and is this streaming service free or is it a paid thing?
Oh and can i still use current DLC that i already have offline?
If you disable streaming then you can use DLCs that you have and you can continue to fly offline just like before.
Streaming is currently free, we are evaluating how much data is used and how much that is going to cost us.
-
If streaming mode is turned off. Will the block be lifted?
Without streaming enabled Aerofly FS 4 runs just like before.
Only when you manually enable streaming will you get global airports and global cultivation files.
-
For now an internet connection is required, at a later stage this may change so that already downloaded data can be used for offline flights. But that would only be the case for areas that you have already visited.

1gb for an hour flight is much😥
Keep in mind that we are talking about the PC version of Aerofly FS, not the mobile version!
And that is only an estimate, we don't yet know how much data is going to be used on average, that's what the beta is for
-
Another very important feedback
How many GB are these data in total? How many gigabytes does a (short, medium, long-haul) flight cost approximately? How many GB of storage space are recommended to reserve?
That is the exact question we are testing with this beta. A one hour flight may only use about 1 GB but we can't yet say for sure.
-
So, I can't see my custom made photoscenery with the streaming enabled. So Europe and the US work fine, but for example the Hakodate-photoscenery (by Schnuffelduffel) doesn't work together with the streaming.
For now streaming only uses data that was streamed as well as airports already installed. Other images and cultivation already installed are ignored at the moment.
-
Will the Android version of Aerofly be the same as the PC, using streaming data? Will Aerofly version
Android has a global map?
The Android beta already has this streaming but not the airports yet.
-
If you go to the Steam DLC manager you can disable all DLCs, then the installation should only be about 30 GBs and should take a lot less time.

A few observations on the beta from 22.09.23 (B747):
- small glitch with the right hand VOR
- entering a flight number (start from RW) does not illuminate the EXC button (maybe the button just has no lamp)
- executing a flight number change does not actually enter the flight number, it clears the field again
- pressing the LEGs button does not automatically bring up the LEGs page with the active waypoint
- the LEGs page does not indicate which WP is currently active
What glitch does the VOR have?
The flight number should not illuminate the execute light I think but of course it should not be erased when the execute light is pressed either.
