  • Winch launch and self launch gliders

    Hello IPACS, thank you very much for your new AF4! As an Aerofly-User from the beginning I see the progress, but also incomprehensible things.

    For example:

    It's very sad, that there are not new planes for general aviation, instead of this fewer because of the missing third party planes. I'm missing modern planes with glass cockpit (Diamond, Cirrus...) und also gliders with engine or winch-start. In my opinion the Aerofly FS has been a fantastic possibility for doing vfr-flight. In this regard the step from the AF 1 to AF 2 was a disappointment, because the winch-start was not possible any more, und there were no more glider with engine for selfstarting.

    My question: Do you have plans to add such planes and possibilities in the future?

  • The next major Aerofly FS version for PC is coming!

    Hello Jan,

    you see, that there are a lot of questions about the FS 4. It's very friendly, that you give some informations, and I'm sure, that most of us rejoyce for the new version. But it's a pity, that's not possible to get all informations about the new features etc. at this time. My questions:

    Are there further new planes in the FS 4, especially modern small planes (with glass cockpit)?

    And what about gliders? Will there be a possibility for start-procedures (winch launch, selfstarting gliders or drag start)?

    Can we hope for a release until christmas?

    Thank you for further informations! :)

  • Using the FS2 with SSD and/or HDD

    Hello, until now I save the FS2 (PC-version by stream) on a SSD. Now I think about a new PC with two hard disks - one SSD and one HDD. Is there someone, who has experience with using a combination by both hard disks? Is it possible, oder should I use only SSD for saving the whole addons?

  • Switzerland DLC texture's bug?

    Quote from Schnuffelduffel

    :/:/:/ I also wonder when I'll finally be on the IPAC payroll. I'm starting to feel like the caretaker here! :D

    German:

    Ich frag mich auch langsam, wann ich endlich auf der Gehaltsliste von IPACs stehe. Ich komme mir hier langsam vor, wie der Hausmeister! :D

    I can understand that. I also wonder, why IPACS does'n't correct the failures with some white clouds on the ground of north-switzerland long ago...? :/

  • The situation of cultivation in the border areas of Switzerland

    Hello Christophe,

    these are fantastic news, after some weeks without AF2 because of hard times!

    I've been frustrated, that I'm not ably to solve the current existing problems with the cultivation - especially because switzerland is grown to a very inspiring, detailled alps-scenery, which should get an appropriate cultivation. It's great, that you can use IZOJUBS business for this.

    Thank you very, very much! The previews let me be very appy! So much nice details...! :D

  • The situation of cultivation in the border areas of Switzerland

    Hello user-friends,

    actually we could be very, very happy about the fantastic business by some of us - Schnuffelduffel, IZOJUB, chrispriv and others. They give us a wonderful alp-scenery and very nice cultivation and airports, which make IPACS little Switzerland more and more attractiv as a diversified area for vfr as well as for ifr. Nevertheless I'm really frustrated about the situation of cultivation and vegetation. We have two possibilities for using general cultivation in Switzerland - ORBX and Drassaud, also smaller airport-sceneries.

    Now IZOBUj has given us a very nice cultivation for the border-areas to Schnuffelduffels alps. The problem is, that there are conflicts between these cultivation-possibilities and it's not possible to find an ideal combination between them. They also use different tiles. Unfortunately I'm not able to spend much time by learning how to make cultivation und solve this problem myselve because I'm involved in fighting against the corona-pandemie. I tried to find a solution (published in flight-sim), but there are more problems and conflicts, as I thougth first - also with the ORBX-airport Saanen an ORBX-Geneve. And that makes me very frustrated. Also there are areas without vegetation/trees - especially in france alps and in italy.

    Is there someone, who could be able to solve these problems and give us a cultivation for the whole area without these problems - perhaps a combination with IZOJUB und ORBX oder Drassaud?

    I hope for helpful user!

    Thank you! Be healthy!

  • Ok, here we go.... :)

    Hello IZOJUB!

    It's very nice of you to make the beautiful new cultivation für Schnuffelduffels scenery of the "Alps". Now I have a big issue: Would it be possible for you to have a look at your last cultivation of austria? It's very nice to use with Schnuffelduffels project, but for now there are problems with the dlc/cultivation from orbx and especially with the airport "Altenrhein" by IPACS. The buildings are flickering very strong, so it's not possible to use both cultivations - yours and the switzerland-dlc. That's really a pity, because even now we have a nice area at the border between switzerland and austria. I think, that I'm certainly not the only one, who would be very, very happy about a correction. Do you think, that you can do this for us? That would be very accommodating! Best wishes for you!

  • Ok, here we go.... :)

    Hello, after installing the new alps-scenerie from Schnuffelduffel I've a problem with the mesh near the Lago Maggiore. Suddenly there's a big difference in the height. I would be very thankfull, if someone can send me the mesh (19m, by abbiati50?). So I can try to repair my files. I can't find it in flight-sim.org.

    Thank you!

    Hallo Schnuffelduffel,

    Als ich heute früh hier im Forum vorbeischaute, lachte mir Dein Alpen-Projekt entgegen. Ich habe es mir gleich runtergeladen, hatte jetzt aber nur kurz Zeit, einmal hineinzuschauen - vor allem in die Grenzregionen Genf und Altenrhein. Du hast eine fantastische Arbeit gemacht! Tausend Dank! Das wertet die Schweiz enorm auf und erweitert vor allem nun auch die Sichtflugattraktivität in Richtung Austria, France und Italy ganz enorm! Da hast Du uns allen einen unglaublich tollen Gefallen getan. Dass da unbeschreiblich viel Arbeit hinter steckt, kann ich mir lebhaft vorstellen. Ganz sicher hast Du Dir einen Orden von IPACS verdient, zumal Du das alles auch noch kostenfrei anbietest! Klar gibt's trotzdem was via Paypal. Nochmal: Danke, danke, danke! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::)

  • Geneva animated traffic available now

    I'ts possible to use brunnobellics animations under vulcan, if you give up some animations-objects, for example the "birds" in Innsbruck or Geneva. That's not so nice for bird friends, but you have the traffic... :)

    You have to open brunnobellics "genevaanimation" or "innsanimation" and delete all files with "bird" in the name. Preferably put them in a special folder outside the AF2, so they are not lost. Perhaps this can help. I'm not a specialist... ;)

    Also the other animations of brunnobellic can be used with vulcan, if you delete some dispensable animation-objects.

    In other airport-animations of brunnobellic you can similar try to delete some animation-objects, until the traffic is usable under vulcan.

  • Geneva animated traffic available now

    Hallo! Für diejenigen, die mit Vulcan fliegen und diese Animation nicht nutzen können, hilft vielleicht dies weiter:

    Meine Beobachtung nach diversen Versuche ist, dass Vulcan mit manchen Animationsdetails "überfordert" ist - warum auch immer. Wenn man die Zahl bestimmter Animationsobjekte etwas beschränkt (durch Ausprobieren), funktioniert alles andere auch unter Vulcan. Ein Beispiel: Man öffnet für Genf oder Innsbruck die jeweiligen Ordner "genevaanimation" oder "innsanimation" und entfernt alle Dateien mit "bird" im Namen (am besten in einem separaten Ordner "zwischenlagern", damit sie nicht verloren gehen). Nun sind zwar die Ornithologen unglücklich, aber zumindest sollte der Traffic funktionieren. So hat es in meinen Versuchen geklappt... :)

    Auch die anderen Animationen für südeuropäische Airports von brunnobellic funktionieren mit Vulcan, wenn man durch Ausprobieren einzelne Animationsobjekte entfernt.

    Quote from Heinz Dieter

    Danke euch Allen für eure Unterstützung. Ja, es ist meine Einstellung auf Vulcan gewesen, die mir die Abstürze beschert hat.

    Mit OpenGL funktioniert die Szenerie-Erweiterung in 2D und 4K tadellos, sieht auch gut aus, aber ....

    wer mit dieser Innsbruck-Szenerie in VR fliegt und das vielleicht noch mit z19/20 Textur, sollte m. E. auf die Vulcan-Einstellung gehen, denn hier ist die Performance -"Ausbeutung" wesentlich größer als die mit OpenGL. Mit Vulcan kann im Nvidia Manager alles auf "Max" gestellt werden, was denn die Grafikkarte so hergibt. Auch auf die Einstellung von HDR muss hier nicht verzichtet werden!

    Darum habe ich schweren Herzens jetzt auf diese wirklich gute Szenerie-Erweiterung verzichtet, weil ich meine bisherige, sehr plastisch dargestellte VR-Szenerie, doch lieber so beibehalte.

    Auch in den Animationen anderer Airports von brunnobellic lassen sich versuchsweise Objekte entfernen, damit die übrigen Animationen nutzbar sind.
