Hi and welcome,
How about trying this first;
1. update to the latest Radeon drivers
2. Try using only OGL renderer (not Vulkan)
3. Delete the 'main.mcf' file located in your documents\Aerofly FS 2 root folder
4. Test ONLY using a default aircraft (Cessna) and in San Francisco
Try this and let me know if your crashing stops.
Display MoreI get the feeling that what is happening is Aerofly is showing a level 9 square directly below you and using level 7 adjacent squares.
The level 9 is custom and the level 7 is stock Aerofly ground textures.
When I wrote AeroScenery I looked at the lowest level used in the all the high detailed scenery (parts of USA, Switzerland, Florida etc) and noticed it was level 9. That then became the lowest level in the app.
What I can't figure out is why it doesn't happen with IPACS scenery. In your example it looks like detailed textures as far as the eye can see. Why isn't it using level 7? If you look at the IPACS "CH" (Switzerland) folder the lowest level is level 9, exactly the same as custom scenery.
Anyway .. paging Jet-Pack (IPACS) drhotwing1 (IPACS) admin . As this is an annoying problem.
Is there any way to make Aerofly use level 9 custom scenery as the lowest level, or do we need to figure out some way of replacing level 7 scenery?
Request received. Let us take a look at this entire situation and we will provide an educated response as soon as we have one
After catching up on this thread, I wanted to say that it's a very good thing that you are doing. Sometimes humanity surpasses the norm and does something unexpected and spectacular 
We really have a good community here, and I'm proud to say that!
Have a look at MSI gaming laptops, they now have RTX2080 GPU's and use i9 CPU's. The GT Titan or Stealth series are your best but if you go with Stealth make sure you don't get the low power 2080m GPU by accident. It's much slower.
With a RTX2080, even in a laptop, you can run Aerofly with max graphics settings, and even 'Insane' shadows with FPS still in the 150 range.
TommyDee58,
Glad you got it working... very cool.
After you have a good feel for how FS 2 looks in VR, please share your thoughts. I have the Rift and am debating whether or not to get the S or the Valve Index. Thanks. Have fun!
I have tested both CV1 and Rift S Extensively and I can state these facts for you;
* God rays are virtually gone on Rift S
* The SDE when flying at night is gone on Rift S
* The resolution is sharper so gauges look much clearer on Rift S
* You can't tell the difference in refresh rate between the both
* No more worrying about external sensors
* No performance hit at all on the Rift S
* Sound is one of the only shortcomings on Rift S but with the latest firmware it's better
Bottom line, it's ultimately your choice but I don't think you will be sorry with upgrading to the Rift S
I see that you resolved the issue yourself before I could respond. I will be uploading a new version with this issue fixed as well as some more additions to the ongoing project soon.
Miami_traffic was just an internal test that I forgot to take out of the build
Awesome. I'm glad that you have it working! Now go enjoy some flying
Something is not right with your Oculus install. I recommend uninstalling the Oculus software and re downloading/installing the software. Begin with the Oculus software and don't plug in the headset until it tells you to. Make sure that you install the software for Oculus Rift S and not for CV1. I just want to confirm here, you don't have any sensors connected to your computer, correct?
Oculus Rift S does not use sensors. Are you sure you have the Rift S set up properly?
Looking through your TM log shows no issues in Aerofly but you are behind a few versions. We are at 2.04.09.09. Make sure that you install the latest update.
There are no signs that you are running Aerofly in VR mode. Either you have to add the parameter -othervr to your exe or run directly from Steam and select Oculus mode.
It is something that we know needs to me accomplished.
Is your Rift S working for anything else? Are you reaching Dash?
If no to either of these it has nothing to really do with Aerofly. You should post on the Oculus forums.
If yes, does Aerofly open in 2D mode on your desktop?
Has this been acknowledged by the devs?
Yes it has. It's going to be some time still before we can address this.
Thanks Jeff . I will reinstall slowly and testing. Now i have the next Problem. I got Oculus Rift today and the VR-Mode is not running. I posted it into the forum.
Before reinstallatio i had an exe for VR-Mode. I tried to copy and rename but i can't edit the exe. Can you help me?
Best regards
Thomas
This can resume in the other thread that you made. I just responded and we will assist you here if you have any further issues.
Do you own a stand-alone or Steam copy?
Either way, the parameter you need is; -othervr for Oculus SDK.
The boxed version has a seperate exe for starting in VR mode
Hello Jan.
I have reinstalled AFFS2. Before that I removed all freeware and paywere scenes. It's running again.
Best regards
Thomas
Glad to hear that you are back up and running. If you are going to add freeware I would suggest adding and testing each one at a time to see which scenery caused your crash. If you do find out which one let everyone know so that others don't have the same problem.
You should have access now. Go try it out.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
What are you flying passengers to the moon Thank you for the report. Jan will have a look at it tomorrow.
Greetings everyone,

This new feature can be accessed by entering the 'BLOG' tab on the top of this page.
Check back often while we try harder to update the community on progress.
As always, on behalf of the entire IPACS development team we wish to thank you for your continued support. We aren't finished just yet!!

Just Flight, in partnership with Propair Flight, are proud to present the PA-38 Tomahawk for Aerofly FS 2.
Following on from their PA-28 series, C152 and Duchess Model 76, this highly detailed simulation of the PA-38 Tomahawk has been developed by Just Flight's in-house team following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life Tomahawk, G-BNKH, based at Goodwood Aerodrome with SportAir.
The PA-38 Tomahawk is a two-seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a fixed tricycle landing gear, 112hp four-cylinder engine and fixed-pitch propeller – an ideal aircraft for touring and flight training.
The PA-38 is flown all around the world and our add-on reflects that global popularity. The package features liveries from the UK, USA, Canada, France, Australia and Germany.
