Is there some news about the Aerofly 4 SDK ?

I have some ideas to connect with external applications, but without the SDK we are in a dead end.

Or you know... just assign a button to reload the aircraft, that will place the Duchess on the runway with engines off as well. No need to change any files

Thanks ! I didn't know that trick.

Ok, i found what's happening with cold & dark:

If you place the plane in a runway header, it's loaded in the "takeoff" state.

Instead, placing it at any other location in the airport, the plane is loaded on cold & dark.

Not all airports have spots outside of the runway headers. Just find one of them and try.

Investigating the plane files (at C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Aerofly FS 2\aircraft\Duchess76), there are three .tmd files: "duchess76_clean.tmd", "duchess76_landing.tmd" and "duchess76_takeoff.tmd". I assume a different file is loaded depending where you place the plane.

I guess you would overwritte "duchess76_takeoff.tmd" with "duchess76_clean.tmd" (make a backup before), to force the dark & cold state in all conditions.

Not a configuration tool, but until they improve it, i'm happy with that.

TrackIR works fine for me with this plane, but i cannot find either a way to set cold & dark.

The first time is used the plane it was on cold & dark, but now it loads always ready to fly.

Hi, i'm searching for the most convenient way to speedup the time on long flies.

A quick way is to move the plane directly on the map, using "Location". But that resets the plane to its default state, initializing radio settings, etc.

Is there some alternative ?

Thanks,

I've puchased Aerofly FS2 recently, and i'm very pleased with it.

But i find some minor downsides as this, which i guess it would be fixed easily.

Please, add an ICAO selector to the map.

Thanks !
