I move the controllers behind the sensor an then they disappear completely. Starting in Steam is no problem when they are behind the sensors before start.

But i use the oculus, maybe the vive handles this in another way.

Thanks Jeff,

i know, but the Question was wether i can use addons bought via orbx direct on my two pc with a steam version of aerofly or only on one of them.

i am not sure if there is a difference between an addon bought via steam (dlc) or an addon bought via orbx.

Sometimes orbx has much better prices for aerofly addons compared to the steam prices, so i would prefer to buy via orbx direct.

Roger

I have two different gaming rigs and use the steam version. So I can use my Steam account to play on both, not at the same time but it works great. If I now purchase addons via orbx directly, does anyone know whether I can use it on both machines or only on one?

Maybe its possible to add for this setting (and others) a file in the aircraft folder e.g. c172_user.tmd for overwriting the default values, so the program could read for example c172.tmd + c172_takeoff.tmd + c172_user.tmd and so on. Perhaps this user-setup can be stored in the user directory C:\Users\Roger\Documents\Aerofly FS 2\aircraft\c172 ... instead of the application folder.

I'm currently looking at the feasibility of internally taking a screenshot of the GeoConvert window every 5 seconds and testing for the presence of any green (as seen in the success message).

Slightly bonkers but would work.

I am a software developer for over 35 years now, and i think it should be an easy task for ipacs to add a

• command line parameter like -q(uit) / -e(xit) or
• an option in the tmc-file like <[bool][exit_when_finished][true]> or something like that to do that.

I think your idea looks like 'crack a walnut with a sledgehammer', so why not ask ipacs, should be an intermediate task for relaxing from r22 development

I agree, but sometimes when I leave the pc alone doing many tiles I got reboots. Tested on machine with intel and Ryzen processors. On Ryzen processors the the reboots occurred more often, even with many more cores. I know that GeoConvert isn’t designed for using it this way but if IPACS decides to enhance it with these little improvements, protocols and starting and stopping with exit code for success , then AeroScenery can start a configurable amount of instances and that would make it a great solution avoiding many problems. But as you wrote I was able to run more smaller tiles, too.

Thanks for this great tool!

Everything works great, Selecting Areas, Zoom Levels, downloading, Stitching, creating files for geoconvert.

Only weak point in the moment is geoconvert. I had to increase swap space significantly to avoid geoconvert system crashes on windows 10. Geconvert needs up to 25 GB when converting. Next point is I have to convert in smaller partitions. When aeroscenery starts too much instances of geoconvert, everything gets unstable and often stops working.

I think when geoconvert can be started once, writes some protocol and ends itself with a defined exit code and can then be run with the next area and so on, that would be a wonderful workflow.

nvapi64.dll is part of NVIDIA Windows drivers, have you installed the latest version?

My version is 24.21....

Just bought USA South Florida on Steam !!

Size: 3.1 GB

Awesome !!

I understand that the common controls of different vr controllers are hard coded to get a similar base.

But it would be great, if additional buttons ( i use the oculus) which are not in common use can be used for some extra commands, for example switching views ore others.

Often i'm fumbling for keys which are not assigned to my joysticks so i could map some of them to the oculus controllers.

I bought my aerofly fs 2 sim and all DLC's via Steam. I installed the sim on two different machines (home and office) with my steam login and can use it alternately.

If i would now buy the monterey scenery (or other coming sceneries) directly via FTX Central, is it possible to install and use these in the same way on two machines or only on the one where i installed it first?

In another thread i found the hint that migration of compatible STEAM purchases into the native user interface of FTX central shopul be possible but i found no way so far.

Hi Again,

if you google around you will find some others with this problem,

and please see the last remark from drhotwing1

Just installed the 21Gb update, and the 16Gb.
Just testing the Training, On the first and 2nd Training ops..... but the PC/Game has a Crash Crash Crash to "Debugging" every single time `ON COMPLETION OF THE EXERCISE` (before & after successful `Verify` game).

NOTE
Game itself does not crash.... Just the Training missions.

In my specs.

Just throwing it out there.

This is known. Please give some time to work out.

Hi Jeff,

thank you for this quick reply!

As i described, i checked a lot of things to fix it.

If you have any idea, how i can help finding the reason with more system infos, maybe trying debugging versions etc., please feel free to contact me again.

PS: I have a german Windows 10 64-Bit. Some months ago i had a program error in another product (1password) that was caused by the german version...

Regards,

Roger

When will this error be fixed? Nearly every second flight lesson crashes on two different systems as described above. I try that after each update, but nothing changed. So i hope you do not forget this problem.

Regards, Roger

At the end of nearly each lesson, when you got your rating and the screen will then change to close your lesson the main executable crahes and the program is restarted.

I tested that on two different systems with newest Windows 10 64 Bit, newest BIOS, newest drivers for main board graphics etc.

Systems are (both with no overeclocking):

1. ASUS Z270-A, 16 GB, Intel i5 7600, ASUS ROG Strix 1070 OC, 8 GB, Samsung M.2 SSD

2. ASUS Prime X370 Pro, 16 GB, Ryzen 5 1600X, ASUS ROG Strix 1070 OC, 8 GB, Samsung M.2 SSD

Checked following settings:

- Starting game normal/as Admin

- Using Full Screen/Window Mode

- Using all graphics qualities from high to low

- Using Windows w/wo gaming mode

- all possible solutions from forum

Normal flight is possible without any erros. External Hardware is only Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro, no TrackIR etc.

I found some themes depending this error, checked all possible forum hints, but no success.

Because this occurs on two completely different processor systems, i assume a software error.

Even if thats an error which is difficult to evaluate, i can reproduce it nearly always, only sometimes (<5%) one lesson works and the crash occurs after second lesson.

Maybe, some code refactoring in this section where lesson ends, may solve that, even if no one knows why

Regards

Roger
