But the main.mfc is not that critical, IPACS itself has written something about it in the Wiki: https://www.aerofly.com/dokuwiki/doku.php/simulator:mcf

You can't really break anything in main.mfc, because in case of an emergency you simply delete it and restart the FS. This will automatically reboot main.mfc - now just use the default settings.

In addition, the basic rule always applies: always create a backup copy before every change.

The only drawback I see as a Mac user is that I can't use the add-ons in EXE - but I don't think that's so bad. Everything else is comparable for Mac and Windows from my point of view and fits.

Viewing the frame rate would be useful. But the suggestions here and in the instruction manual don't seem to work for Mac OS Catalina. They seem to be for Windows.

Am I missing something? Or is there a way of doing this in Mac OS?

Yes, you can change a value in main.mfc - at your own risk:

• original:
  <[bool][debug_show_fps][false]>
• changed:
  <[bool][debug_show_fps][true]>

I'm confused to see in other parts of the Forum that the Mac App Store problems have been fixed. But there seems nothing new in the way of scenery to download.

Look here and there, everything also works with a Mac:

• https://flight-sim.org/map/
• http://www.fscloudport.com

On my MacBookPro I have 2 directories, only in one it works:

Ich stimme Jens zu:

• Die Karte zeigt ja nur, dass es in dem Land etwas gibt.
• Die Kategorien listen dann zwar alles auf, aber in gewisser Weise ist das dann doch nichts so strukturiert.
• Die Liste von Michael ( pmb) ist da noch filigraner.

And creating airports in FSCloud-Port.com is not difficult either.

I think it's very nice that we experience so much volunteer work here in the forum, no matter what someone is doing (planes, scenes, photos, providing servers, etc.).

With "payment" it is very easy for me to donate money for charitable projects and to contribute to hardware costs. With direct money transfers I simply have difficulties.

I just downloaded the file and I see in it a file called "Instructions.txt" - by the way, this is standard at IZ0JUB, which does a lot of volunteer work for the community:

In the file "Instructions.txt" there is also a suggestion for the location.

There are also some posts in the forum with recommendations for saving the instructions - there are just different possibilities.

Not by me.....

If i have time, i have planned to made pack 1 an 2 new in smaller packs for the users, which have Problems with the large packs.

That is the result of higgy ´s work:

Quote from Trepidor

Pack 2 has been removed from the site, can u check it please

I have checked — pack 2 is always there:

The admin is currently converting the files that were previously too large into several smaller files.

thanks so much

Turbines running - rotor turning - that would be done for today.

Tomorrow I will continue.

Desweiteren könnte man die Szenerien die man grad eh nicht fliegen wird ... einfach vorher in

ein anderes Verzeichnis auf der gleichen Platte verschieben ?!

Es reicht sogar, wenn man die betroffenen Szenerien mit „__“ (doppelter Unterstrich) zu Beginn des Verzeichnis-Namen „ausschaltet“ — es sollten sich halt nur keine Dateien in dem Verzeichnis befinden, auf die sich bezogen wird.

Beispiel:

• Verzeichnis „eingeschaltet":
  .../Aerofly FS 2/addons/scenery/eu_cz
• Verzeichnis "ausgeschaltet:
  …/Aerofly FS 2/addons/scenery/__eu_cz

Das Beste ist, Du schaust mal in die Datei tm.log. Dort wirst Dun wahrscheinlich eine gefühlte unendliche Zahl von Zeilen finden mit dem Hinweis ERROR und WARNING. Ich hatte schon über 20.000 Zeilen mit solchen Hinweise.

Wenn Du Dir diese Zeilen dann anschaust, wirst Du sehen, was alles nicht gefunden wird. Dafür gibt es einige Ursachen, das beginnt mit fehlenden oder nicht passend abgelegten Dateien. Wenn man sich da ein wenig rein fuchst, dann erkennt mach schnell die Fehler — und auch, wie man diese korrigieren kann.

Hello,

To see the airports and the runways on your sceneries I must install separate elements ?

Thank's

How does one install this on a Mac? I am very new to FS 2. ?

I have it stored here with me:

• /Users/username/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-2-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 2/addons/scenery/…
  • …/na_us/…
    • .../images/…
      • …/img__na_us_fl__south_florida__20200202_iz0jub_file_id_1125
      • .../img__na_us_fl__south_florida_extra__20200203_iz0jub__file_id_1143
      • …/img__na_us_fl__tampa__20200205_iz0jub__file_id_1157
    • …/places/…
      • .../cul__na_us_fl__south_florida__20200202_iz0jub_file_id_1131
      • .../cul__na_us_fl__south_florida_extra__20200203_iz0jub__file_id_1140
      • …/cul__na_us_fl__tampa__20200205_iz0jub__file_id_1157

I adjust the file names in such a way that I can always see directly

- when and

- by whom the file is from and

- which fileId the file has.

I get along with this very well.

Quote from GregDude

Schnuffelduffel I'm struggling to download these huge files. Have tried FireFox, Internet Explorer and FreeDownloadManager5. I get 8-11GB then file download aborts and won't resume on any of these downloaders, despite all having resume ability. Do you have any suggestions? Would you consider making a larger number of smaller files, perhaps ~5GB each?

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Moin Schnuffelduffel,

eine Alternative ist, dass Du den Beitrag in flight-sim.org soweit einstellst und wir seitens der Moderatoren die Datei irgendwo bei Dir abholen und dann in Deinen schon erstellten Beitrag hochladen.

Oh man, how do I get my external hard drive docked to the Mac so that it can be read directly by FS2.

I know, this is a luxury problem.

Thanks and Tschüss, Michael (III)
