The oculus window has to stay in the background as far as I know.

If you remove the "-othervr" it should use the steamvr. I don't think the start tag "-steamvr" is recognized, it may just ignore that and work as if you had no tag at all.

Give us some time to try and reproduce this issue.

From what I understand it is working for you now when you leave the oculus window open or when you start with steam vr?

I tried steamvr since I thought that if -othervr exist, -vr or -steamvr should exist too

-steamvr is recognized, since without, aerofly standalone version start without any VR engaged.

-othervr is for oculus, so it's probably why it starts oculus first and switch after to steamvr since occulus is not connected

Thanks for your help

Thanks for quick anwsering

OK, so you have two versions of Aerofly FS 2 installed on the same PC, Steam and DVD/direct download version?

They will likely write to the same user documents Aerofly FS 2 main configuration file and if either of them has a newer update this could cause issues on the other installation.

Yes, but Standalone version crashes before any start of the Steam version.Just before to launch standalone version installation, I renamed the AeroflyFS directory into AeroflyFS.Steam, so Standalone crashed with its own AeroflyFS directory created by the install process and the two consecutives updates and without any pollution of the steam version.

I will catch the tm.log asap...

One precision, I have my oculus driver installed too, but not connected. Aerofly Standalone Version starts first Oculus and then SteamVR. Aerofly Steam version doesn't do that since we can choice the VR fronted at startup.

Is it any way to force the VR frontend of the standalone version with some argument like -othervr ?

Here is the tm.log just after a crash always same default airport and airplane (San Martin, Cessna 172...)

idem after deleting the main.mcf

Hum, when I don't close the oculus window, it seems to work better. Is there anyway to force Aerofly to use directly SteamVR and ignore libOVR even if oculus and/or oculus revive are installed ?

Hum I tried to replace -othervr with -steamvr option and it's seem to do the job...

Hi,

I have both version of aerofly. When we like...

the standalone crash in VR (index, gtx980ti) after several seconds, on the defaut airport San Martin of the fresh install, without any addons installed and fresh aeroflyfs Folder in home directory (I didn’t test other airport or non VR mode yet).

SteamVR doesn’t crash, it’s only aerofly.

On the same PC with the same Aeroflyfs folder in mydocument directory. The steam version of aerofly doesn’t crash.

That was with last version available for each version the 22 mai 2020 at 11h pm Utc 0

Standalone : 2.04.09.25

Steam : 2.04.09.31

Win10

Nvidia driver : 445.87

OpenGL mode

Hi,

Thanks even if I would prefer an other answer

It not too complicated to implement, and very usefull for VR users.

Quote from HiFlyer

People have asked about that forever. It's one of those things that is just never implemented, and eventually you feel you are just talking to yourself.

Hi HiFlyer,

I did some investigation with some piece code, and it seems that the openvr resetseatpose function is never called by aerofly (automatically) during startup.

I tested with my valve index (with only one sensor) and it seems to be reproductable. I have always the sensor at my left when I look forward. I tested only the default airport of a fresh installation. Have to test other airport to see the first yaw initialisation depends on the QFU. Perhaps the hmd uses its internal compass to initialise it’s yaw offset regarding fixed sensor, I hope he doesn’t.

In any cases I think initialisation problems are only coming from the HMH and its driver.
I imagine that with standalone hmd (without fixed sensor) it will be Impossible to have a reproductable frame initialisation at each startup.

Hi,

is it a way to force the VR frame and avoid the auto reset at startup. My goal is to have always the VR cockpit at the same place relatively to the fixed VR sensor (Valve or oculus)

thanks in advance,

hi Guys,

Some questions about mesh creation :

Is there anyway to convert P3D mesh to aerofly ?

If not do you know a provider of DEM for France compatible with "aerofly mesh" creation tools ?

At last but not least, is there any tutorial somewhere to help me to create "aerofly mesh" from srtm1 files ?

Lot of thanks in advance,

cheers,

JPX

I FIXED IT !!!!

I deleted main.mcf in the documents/ Aerofly Fs2 folder and let the game rebuild a new one.

Still gives me the error but if I press "ok" everything works just fine.

What a relief

Thanks for the help!

Might be useful to keep the thread up if anybody else has this issue, your call.

great

did you make a 360° in yaw to try to find the control panel ?

A WMR should be "as" an openVR/steamVR headset.

do you see VRK inside your headseat ? Did you install team with SteamVR first ?

Hi Paraovski,

What type of VR headset do you have (Oculus, or open VR compatible) ?

For Oculus it's particular, VRK has to modify the simulator on the fly (via code injector) to be able to use VRK in the same time. I have an Oculus CV1 too but I did'nt success to run VRK inside Aerofly with Oculus.

With my valve index (openVR or steamVR) it's more simple and works well with Aerofly. Both softwares VRK and the simulator are speaking directly with OpenVR/steamVR. Actually OpenVR/SteamVR give the possibility to have several VR applications running at the same time. VRK use this natural feature in that case.

With OpenVR you can use VRK alone too since VRK speak directly with openVR. Just launch OpenVR and look inside your headset. If not, go in Configuration (Gear button), VR tab and set the VRMode you have. I advice to use steamvr).

If you have an oculus perhaps you can try "revive" software to emulate an openVR headset but you will loose framerate

good luck,

Here it is. It's a tight fit for the Intuos by the way. Maybe too tight? You may want to shave a touch off this overhang.

thanks, Phil, printing as it is for now, will see if too tight ...

Quote from Spit40

My Intuous S has arrived and I like it. I can load in airport info, navigation notes, even screen grabs from google maps for a bit of pilotage navigation - if anyone's interested I found a nifty way of creating a single large JPEG screengrab (8,000px x 8,000px) from google maps and with the kneeboard you can scroll around it like a live google map.

With my 3d printed bracket it all works very nicely. The slot is for a webbing belt. The right hand clip is for the pen.

Hi Phil,

I just received mine !!!
Could you share your adapter design with us/me? Parasolid or step files should be great ! 😉

Thanks in advance,

JPX

Still looking for it in the C172

As often thanks Phil,

you mean x.5 or x.x5 ?

CAN is 114.45, I tried 114.45 and 114.50

LGL is 112.7, does'nt work too

Hi,

It seems some frequency are not up to date or not working.

Where can I find the list of VOR/ADF from Aerofly ?

Is it any way to overload it ?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Hi Phil,

I install the last version yesterday, I still have the same problem,

I noticed that on configuring VRK, in the tab VR, several time the VRK window reduces its width when I pressed on Apply button.

Perhaps VRK as memorized that new reduced width permanently and that the origin of the issueroblem

Ok, I tried,

It seems to work in VRK with 8k*8k but original ratio is not respected. Is there a checkbox somewhere to avoid that or should I make snapshot with respect of VRK portrait ratio.

Do you know a solution to convert big png into in pdf ?

Cheers,

JP

To get a massive JPG map/skyvector offline do this

1) Use Firefox

2) Do Ctrl-M for responsive developer mode and create a custom screen size of 8,000px x 8,000px or whatever suits

3) Load your map/skyvector as normal

4) Get a firefox screen grab plugin which will snapshot the browser contents full size

Excellent, thanks

Does VRK support 8kx8k png files ?

I noticed some display bug with image. Pdf seems to be more supported by VRK. is it the same for you ?

Do a screenshot to jpg. There are ways to simulate a very large resolution monitor if you want more detail

thanks

Hi all,

What navlog pdf generator are you using for VRK ? I'm looking one tool genrating readable pdf inside VRK.

Pdf generated by Skyvector or mach7 are too small for VRK...

Thanks,

cheers,
