Any spring centred Joystick will also do just fine for the EC
and if you have a split throttle on the left (joystick on the right), you can use the throttle for collective control by reversing the control setting so when you pull the throttle toward you (plane idle) you get collective UP.
Try SHADOWS = MEDIUM and TREES + BUILDINGS = LOW.
If you do a search on clouds I believe there is an explanation that the current clouds were provided by a third party and that more realistic clouds would have to be part of a future weather engine addition.
add common Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator/scenery/places/USA/fl there are 5 files /cultivation 2.Miami-port ,3 Miami city, 4 key bridge_02,;and 5. key-bridge_01
w08015n2585-miami-port
Are these the same 5 folders?
Also, does your FS2 link in Steam have the [beta] suffix?
If not, right-click on the link and click on the BETA tab and choose the beta dropdown option (no code needed, leave blank), then exit. Steam should start updating your version to the beta version.
I don't think so.
Do you have any other Florida addons installed under your Documents > Aerofly FS 2 > scenery > places folder?
My guess is that you don't have the same addons installed on your laptop & PC. If you have old addons on your PC, you should delete those folders.
Looks fine. Do you have these same 10 subfolders under the fl folder?
night lights reflecting other objects haven't been implemented
I vaguely remember seeing a post a year or two ago that said the FS2 graphics engine only handles 1 point source of light/illumination (sun or moon).
If you go into the KEYW folder ...
and open the keyw_key_west_intl.tsc file using something like Notepad++
Does the autoheight line show true or false?
Can I directly copy Aerofly FS 2 from the current hard drive on my PC to the new CPU?
Nope - bad idea.
Based on this reasoning of yours, could I erase FS 2 from my hard drive and download it again from Steam on another brand new CPU? . This is because I have to buy a more powerful PC than the current one. Is that possible ?
Steam allows you to install FS2 on 2 different PCs under the same account but you can only play one or the other - not both at the same time.
I think you can right-click on the Aerofly link in Steam and select uninstall and it will remove it from your PC's hard drive but it will still be in your Steam account available for download again.
If you completely exit Aerofly and then restart it from Steam and select KEWY as you starting airport, do you still have floating objects?
If you have the South Florida DLC, you might want to try this free tower lights + traffic lights add-on that enhances the night flying for that DLC ...
Will this also be too many pixels - or will it work great with AFS2?
It will probably work great with AFS2 if you have a GTX2080 or better.
5120 x 1440
That's 7.3M pixels that your 2080 will have to push which is 2 WQHD monitors side-by-side (2550x1440). Aerofly will probably still run smooth but you might encounter low frame rates with Car Racing sims and MSFS.
what holds me back is the fear of nausea.
VR nausea is a possibility when either 1) you do a flight maneuver that would generate a change in forces on your body, or 2) your frame rates are too low, causing confusion with what your brain expects to see.
- when flying level and constant speed, you can look around with little nausea risk
- if you fly like a commercial pilot (smooth, gradual maneuvers), also little nausea risk
- if you fly like an aerobatic pilot (rolls, loops, etc), nausea is likely for first-timers - might want to keep those flights short (10 min)
Being able to naturally scan the horizon and look overhead in the F-18 is amazing, particularly when inverted over an airport 
My advice is to go with a widescreen instead of triple monitors. I have a Dell curved U3415W and a Samsung Odyssey WMR headset.
