  • Aerofly 4 on Linux

    Check in the folder ~/.config/Aerofly FS 4/ for main.mcf and tm.log.

    The files where not present but I found it, works now. I copied it over from the windows pc.

    Also installed AFS2 because of some addons, all works.

    Thank you.

    Cheers

  • Aerofly 4 on Linux

    Hi all,

    just trying to run the sim on Linux but doesn't work. Works without issues on my other machine and Win10.

    OS is MX 25.1 based on Debian 13 stable. Runs without trouble generally but I'm not so sure about Steam performance.

    XP11 runs on Steam here but not as good as in Win10 as standalone app. Didn't check Aerofly 2 so far.

    My goal is to have Aerofly 4 on Linux on the long run but currently I'm afraid that Steam in Linux here cannot compete

    with Steam in Win10.

    So what exactly happens here: Installation/Download works, than start it and it starts but ends up in a black screen.

    Also cannot find the main.mcf where it is in the Linux Steam machine or whereever.

    PC is Amd Ryzen 5, 16gb ram, GTX 1060 6gb and 4 TB storage and it can do it with ease in Win10.

    Are there a few simmers here running it perfectly on Linux?

    Cheers

  • Save/import routes

    Hi all,

    the route created in the navigationscreen stays as long as it's not deleted and is saved in a text section of the "main.mcf" file.

    Cannot be difficult to migrate this little text section to a seperate file "routes.mcf" or so, store it in a folder "routes"

    and normally load the newest together with the "main.mcf".

    And than there should be a button in the navigation screen to load and save those files in the folder "routes".

    So I can save those nice routes I've created and load it for another flight. Or simply delete it if I didn't like it.

    Would be a great help to easily manage a lot of even complicated routes. The navigation screen is very good to use.

    Cheers

  • GPS/Slider

    Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

    The Cessna and Baron currently have no GPS in the cockpit so their autopilot has no GPS route following.

    Yes, the copilot can do it fully automatically, it performed the takeoff and entered the route but this is not what I want.

    I want the standard procedure using the nav/gps switch. But with that navigation screen and the moving map I don't need a gps unit.

    I think would be worth it to implement, nice aircraft.

    Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

    Regarding the collective slider, do you have the same issue for your throttle?

    No, the throttle works. And the slider is assigned to throttle for planes and to collective for helis,

    cannot do else.

  • GPS/Slider

    Hi all,

    my FS4 works well except 2 minor issues:

    - For the jets the flightplans are automatically stored in the fmc, always works. In the EC135 for example I can select

    "NMS" as nav source and than it also flies the flightplan. But I cannot find a simple nav/gps switch or so for the Cessna and the Baron to do the same.

    - Trying to assign the slider of my joystick to collective for helicopters. And it works but only in a very small range in the middle, so as soon as I move it

    a bit more it's too much and the torgue will explode and than fall back, doesn't work to adjust it properly. It must be spread over the entire range of the

    slider, works well in P3d for example.


    Cheers

    Agree with You. My keyboard is also over decade in use.

    It's not the keyboard, I have a new one connected, no difference. Also deleted a few more shortcuts, no difference.

    But I found the following: In the moment when it happens press the opposite key and it stops.

    And while holding this key press the first key again and now you can release both keys and it stands still again..

    Not yet 100 % sure about this but I'll try it now.

    Your Windows Documents folder is using Windows cloud 'onedrive'

    So what does that mean? You log into my computer from outside or what? How does that work?

    I have onedrive running but thats not the normal documents folder where the Aerofly files are stored.

    I have assigned a keyboard, a mouse and a joystick or 2 joysticks to use one for the collective seperately.

    This is the logfile, at this moment only one joystick is connected.

    Possibly a double assignment of the keyboard keys

    Thank you Michael.

    I have no double assignments, this is always announced in the screen and I can avoid it.

    And i have no file gc-main.mcf, I have a file gc-map.mcf which is for the controllers and it's

    not recommended to delete or deactivate it but do changings in the interface. But there are no buttons assigned to views at all.

    Currently I cannot use the sim anymore. I have version 4.06.05.08 (20241218).

    Hi all,

    my Aerofly FS4 runs well except the following bug which I cannot solve:

    I've assigned keys to the adjustment of the views so i.e. in the german interface "umschauen", to the left and right and up and down.

    And than I press a key to make a little adjustment and sometimes suddenly it doesn't stop and it goes further and further until the end.

    And than it's hard to get it back because the view is completely off after this action. Abolutely annoying, it happens during a landing procedure and I cannot see anymore what I do.

    Than a minor problem: Have no Copilot visible from outside in any aircraft even not the jets.

    And another minor problem: I cannot find the DME 2 display in the Lear Jet, I have the pointer but not the distance.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! :)

    Have it just running on the other screen over Baltimore, the scenery looks very good.

    Cheers

  • start location again

    Hi all,

    now my airports CYVR and Japan and so where gone again and I found out whats going on.

    What happens is as soon as I deactivate "Streaming" and restart the sim for that the airports are gone.

    As soon as I reactivate "Streaming" the airports are back.

    But I need to deactivate it sometimes because there is a problem with addon images using streaming, so this won't work.


    Cheers
