Great, thanks!

Do these sceneries, especially Canary Islands, work with the Steam version?

Whom do you refer to, Overloaded?

Ich hab nichts gelesen

Thanks Schnuffelduffel. I saw these areas, too .

Guess I will have to trial and error, starting with the mesh and working from north to south with images and cultivation.

Thanks to the new elevation mesh I think I will have a shot at Germany scenery as well. I wonder though, which files I will need to download. The new elevation mesh is easy, but then images and cultivation? There is Germany NorthEast by Schnuffelduffel and Germany North by IZ0JUB. How much coverage will I have with that?

And then, more cultivation by IZ0JUB, some smaller areas. Not to forget that I have already installed Helgoland and Sylt/Wattenmeer.

What happens if e.g. Sylt/Wattenmeer data from different sources overlap?

Thanks a lot in advance, appreciate your work (goes for iPacs and all that fabulous user generated stuff).

I have the Xbox Wireless Elite 2 controller and it works fine both on desktop and iOS Aerofly. In desktop, you can easily configure the buttons and axis's as you like. I never experienced a coupling of aileron and rudder, to be honest.

Overlays (views, copilot) can be dis-/enabled from the settings menu.

Hope that helps.

BTW: Talking of WIN10, not Mac when mentioning desktop.

Well, is that really a relatively low priced gaming notebook?

Interesting. There were other elements that have disappeared in the newest update as someone wrote. Which are these? Then I could check with my device. Some gates or bridges I think, but can't remember the airport.

I do remember a time when FS19 or 20 was updated once, and suddenly the game became very laggy, especially in places like Palm Springs. There were way too many objects, and iPacs was quick to deliver an update which reduced that to a previous level, and all was fine again. Mavbe the same happened here again.

Not true. I still have the Denver citylights at night. iPad Pro 10.5, same AF version as you mentioned.

And Lukla scenery! Several helipads on the way up to Mount Everest camps!

Since I now also use my notebook for flying together with the Xbox Elite Wireless 2 controller, I noticed that the EC135 is much easier to control on the desktop version. On my iPad, it feels like there is a lot of deadzone, and the value incline the is too steep. Meaning, a delicate and stable approach is hardly managable. Very small cyclice movements are hardly possible, so e.g. landing on Schilthorn is pure luck. Is there a way to improve that controller behaviour in mobile?

And if you are it, please consider button remapping .

BTW: The button customizing in iOS seems sub-optimal. I wanted to invert the vertikal axis on the left stick. But iOS then always inverted both axes and switched them, too Aerofly is not detected as game in that setting either, but none of my installed games are, except the Arcades ones

BTW 2: On desktop, I am now finally able to make full use of the controller paddles. They are of good use for elevator and aileron trimming. But this was only possible with a help of an additional tool called reWASD, since by default, the paddles are not intended for use as new buttons, just additional inputs for the regular ones (e.g. X, Y, B etc).

I need to use my new NB with power cord attached - on battery alone the GPU memory speed is only at 25%. There is no hint anywhere that this is an intentional feature.

Pretty similar to what happened to AF2 on mobile quite a while ago, when suddenly Palm Springs was not flyable anymore due to way too many buildings. They fixed that quickly then.

Funny thing: In the Helgoland scenery, flying over the north sea, I only get about 30 to 35 fps. I would have expected A LOT more due to missing, well, anything. What is that water, ultra (marina) HD?

Thanks Jan. As mentioned, I found a/the solution.

Found the solution after some thinking myself. Instead of the two-finger gesture for scrolling, you need to use the zoom-gesture.

Oh, knobs, it's called knobs

I now decided to use Full-HD, Vulkan without VSync and Anti-Aliasing, low graphics setting and am pretty satisfied. I think there is room to maneuver and will try, as suggested above, to increase to medium or high but keep buildings low. I noticed that in Florida, Miame region there are zillions of small houses which drop the frame rate quite a bit. In other areas without buildings it's a lot better. Maybe I will have to keep trees down as well.

When I want to use dialing wheels (not sure whether that's the right term) with the touchpad on my notebook, I can basically just increase numbers, e.g. altitude in autopilot, frequencies etc.) I use the two-finger gesture for scrolling that would usually be the mouse wheel. There is a very delicate area/process, when I just make a very quick and very short movement from the top of the touchpad downwards to get a decrease. But it takes ages to select the numbers I want and feels more like in a casino - pure luck.

Anyone knows a solution (except using a mouse, that is).

Thanks in advance,

Patrick
