IZ0JUB Once you have had a rest, would it be posisble to summarise or share some notes on the tools used, best practices and other observations during this marathon session? I would love to contibute some scenery too but this for me is the inspiration and template!

Fanfare? Fireworks? Brass band? or do we have some small islands remaining?
Channel islands for one. I could name some more but don't want to get into a politcal mess. Let's enjoy what we have.
IZ0JUB if you have some way of accepting donations, I would love to buy you a beer or two (or coffee) to say thanks.

This is one to watch...

I personally like the idea of local downloads due to the quality offered and modern devices are also getting more storage by default.

You can already effecively do that on the mobile app, granted there isn't much in the way of detail to look at during cruise. You could effectivel fly Denver to NY if it was added without the need for sceneries inbetween. The cruise won't look as good as IF but the localised regions and airports would look way better!

Yes, always try to use the drivers directly from the manufacturer. Also, make sure that Aerofly is running on the AMD video card and not the INTEL if its equipped
Yup, the Hades Canyon is a curious beast, Intel i7 8809G paired with AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH. Definitely using the AMD GPU but 'officially', only Intel supply the drivers for the AMD GPU since it was a custom solution for their powerful NUC and Intel didn't have a suitable solution ready. The i7 has embedded Intel HD 630 graphics. MSI Afterburner confims AMD being used during testing with OpenGL.
The driver supplied by Intel is a rebranded AMD driver and control panel though so I'll give the latest official AMD driver a test over the next couple of days now others are reporting it works. The performance improvement with Vulkan genuinely shocked me so if I can clean up these visual anomalies I'll be a happy man!

Could ORBX Netherlands be ported over?
It would be interesting if the mobile could be opened up to 3rd party content. I wonder if the new iOS Files support could work?
-
Thanks both.
I'll give it a try this evening. Incidentally, I'm on the latest drivers but they are supplied by Intel due to it being a custom AMD GPU for their NUC and nearly a year old now! I've read people have had success running the latest official AMD drivers so will explore that.

Outstanding work IZ0JUB
It's very much appreciated, also with the assistance you have had from others. I've only gone for Scotland so far but now pulling down the rest of the UK. Donation will be on the way to the site as well.

I'm fairly new to AF2 on Windows (long time on mobile) but wanted to ask about VULKAN support and if there is still refinements happening or known issues with it? I'm seeing some visual anomalies but the performance of it is great. This is with the non beta Steam version.
I'm running an Intel Hades Canyon with the AMD Radeon Vega M GH GPU. I have FPS cap at 120 and running at 1440p with medium settings. Under OpenGL, I can start in the Dash at Newark and get 120fps but when flying over upper Manhattan and approaching LaGuardia it dips down to around 60 fps. If I do the exact same trip under VULKAN, it remains solid at 120fps all the way - a great improvement for my set up. The only issue with VULKAN are some visual things like a black shimmering instead of bright reflections on the aircraft or weird building textures at Newark at night time. Are these known issues or is this specific to my setup?

Do you see the propeller speed going down?
Yes, it shows this in the cockpit and you can hear a subtle noise like the props are spinning up or down but it is very subtle and it seems like it is the general engine noise that doesn’t change when lowering the power. The aircraft also loses speed accordingly so it just appears to be this noise that isn’t responding.
-
One issue I wanted to point out was the sounds on the Q400. On both desktop and mobile, the sound changes as you go to full throttle but if you throttle back down to zero, the sound remains the same and doesn’t change back to the idle sound.

Nice one. Downloading now.

Just as an experiment I made, using "AeroScenery" one tile over Edinburgh Scotland first in ArcGIS, that had loads of cloud cover and the second attempt using Bing in resolution 2M/PIX.
I also made the cultivation thanks to Crisy136 latest ScenProc script.
The OSM Data is not complete for this area but it looks reasonably OK in my opinion?
Pictures as follows:

Hi,
Do you have a link to this content on Flight Sim org? I found some regions of Scotland from yourself but couldn't find Edinburgh. Also saw the Forth bridges and would want to add these if you can give me any pointers? I'm new to Aerofly on the PC and Edinburgh is my nearest region. Thanks in advance.
-
I think a lot of people would welcome more regions on mobile, especially with modern devices usually starting with a higher storage tier. I personally would love the NY option on mobile, happy to pay for such regions to support devs.
-
Does it happen with all aircraft? Try the Baron or Aermacchi to see if it works. do you have the high res pack installed? What about conditions? May not have an impact but turn the cumulus cloud density down to zero as well.
-
No problem here. Have you tried rebooting your iPad then go straight in and try again? Are you running iOS 13? If so, also disable the widget screen if you have that docked on the left of your screen.

Is the beta channel only available if you have purchased the game on Steam? I ask because I only have Aerofly on iOS but have a Hades Canyon NUC and was considering trying out before buying to see how it performs on that.
