Hello Antoine - a while back I was testing Krsky1's world wide airports in Rob Corn's NZ Coromandel scenery (btw, that is not generally available). Some of them were out of place, so I fixed that, but I found that if I started the Beech76 cold and dark on a parking position, it sat down nicely with the chocks and tiedowns. If I started it on the threshold, ready for t/off it was about 30cm above ground level.
I like to land/ take-off 'on the photo', where possible.

Don't know if this is any help, but I suspect there is a clue there that I am missing.

Thankyou Michael, thankyou Hartman. It's all very good.

Thankyou , Hartman and Michael - gentlemen both

It seems to be picking up the altitude of the aircraft, instead of staying down on the ground where it should be.

Don't lose that 'bad' bit of code - can you substitute one of the static aircraft objects for the train object?

Well let's not start a war of every other sim vs AFS2. I remember MSFS4, which was amazing in its day, but it took about 30 years for MSFS4 to evolve into MSFSX, and another few years while LM developed that into P3D. That was with large, dedicated teams of programmers to make things happen. There is a great community here, just like UKVFR in the FS2000 days and later. I am mainly interested in NZ, even though I live in Australia, and I am trying to develop things in AFS2 to complement Rob Corn's , and Timmo's, VLC mesh and scenery. Sadly my brain does not seem to be as adaptable as it once was, but thanks to Arno, Nickhod, and others we have tools available to help that.

All these things take time - please be patient, and more than anything please work within the AFS2 standards, for filenames, file placement and so on.

ATB, Mike

My main wish is that the people who keep demanding an instant FSX clone would just shut up and let the IPACS team get on with developing AFS2.

Well, the Toys for Granpa Fund is pretty healthy at the moment, and the combined download is just over half a GB. My favourite beer costs $85 per carton locally, but I can get it for $67 half-an-hour's drive away. Looks like all systems go!

While those "airports" may be of help for developers, I agree they may be rather misleading than helpful for the general user.

Hello Michael - I think they would have been better described as 'location points' rather than 'airports'. But they are very useful; and the author makes it clear that they should be installed with forethought, not en masse.

All the best, yet another forum Michael

Nick, there are tsc files, and some pairs of tsc and toc files. I have Rob Corn's AFS2 test version of his NZ Coromandel scenery, which is not generally available. The photo shows all the grass airfields and the excellent mesh lets you land "on the photo". Chris's files let me show these places in the Select Location screen, so I can choose a runway and a starting point. Very useful freeware, for now.

Might add a passenger in the back as you only look that way occasionally, need someone to open the back doors

Like this, maybe?

Well, for people like me, who like to fly in an external view to create screenshots, it is good to have one or two crew in the cockpit, just for appearances, but it is not exactly essential.

I just wish that the people who are demanding this that and the other for AFS2 should be provided instantly would stop and think. Do they not realise that MSFS started 37 years ago, and had a big dedicated team to develop it until MS abandoned it?

The small IPACS Team have been developing a completely new simulator, and in barely 40 months, have provided things that MSFS never did. Please, people, pull your heads in and give them a chance.

I would have thought it was up to VATSIM to adapt to AFS2, rather than the IPACS Team changing their excellent product to accommodate VATSIM

Hi ! Hope your wife is recovering well . Do you have any news info about your project ?

Greetings

???? Mine ? But why ? What was offensive about my post ?

It is offensive (to me, anyway) because you are saying 'I know your wife is ill, but why haven't you finished the freeware I am waiting for?'

Personally, I prefer the IPACS system, where updates are released first on the Steam platform. This lets the Steam people do all the final RTM testing, so when the download becomes available to us DVD people, it is already fully sorted.

I think this is a PZL M-18 Dromader. It could be flying any day now? Get your fields ready for spraying.

Although there are not a lot of Moving Platforms out there, I would think that not supporting such interfaces would be bad. A lot of us are dreaming of this and you would take away this long term vision, one driver to buy this or other sims. Also all the examples of implementations on flight fares, shows or teams building their dream cockpit would vanish. I believe IPACS would make an error not supporting this kind of interface. It is ok, if this interface will not work for a small time span, if IPACS implement an IPACS high quality interface.

I don't say IPACS should not support interfaces like that. I do say it is up to the manufacturers of such devices to buy a copy of AFS2 and get their act together. Certainly they will need to consult with the IPACS team, on final integration but 'consult' does not mean getting the IPACS team to do the manufacturers' work for them. The team are very busy building us a brilliant flight simulator.

Well, I think AFS2 is the future for flightsimming, and I like to see how it is developing, particularly the strong community involvement. I do not think it should be developed to cater exclusively for people with enough pocket money to buy VR sets, and motion platforms.

Thankyou, Jeff. Everything comes to them that wait

Thankyou Jeff - I'll get it when the northern hemisphere goes to bed
