The message is triggered by this switch on the pitch:

For this, the aerofly FS from 2016 is still very good.

Hi Steve,

I also wish you all the best.

Bye, Michael

Hi Jet-Pack (IPACS) ,

can someone from IPACS please answer my questions to the Thrustmaster Aibus TCA Controllers in this Post?

Thanks, Tschüss, Michael

Moin Jan,

in the STEAM version 2.05.03.27 (20210102) for the Mac, the Thrustmaster Airbus Quadrants 1&2 and 3&4 are displayed differently:

• The Airbus Quadrant in the switch position 1&2 is recognised as a thrust lever (see also the logo) and thus has
  - the reverse function and
  - the button "Eng N" and the button "AB off“:
  
  

• The Airbus Quadrant in the switch position 3&4 is only recognised as a joystick, there is
  - neither the reverse function
  - nor the two buttons:
  
  

=> Is there any way that the Thrustmaster Quadrant in the switch position 3&4 can also be used like in the switch position 1&2?

=> And how is the "AB off" button triggered - and what is that function?

Dear IPACS Team,

I would be happy if someone from the team could answer my question.

Bye, Michael

Moin Jet-Pack (IPACS) ,

do you already know an answer to my question above?

Tschüss, Michael

As far as I know, the joystick as well as the quadrants and the addons of the Thrustmaster Airbus Edition only work with a PC or Mac - and on my Mac without any problems.

I am not aware of a time-lapse mode that can be used to speed up a transcontinental flight by a factor of x in the pure cruise phase, for example.

Mir geht es wie higgy. Natürlich weiß ich, dass es verlockend ist, immer etwas Neues zu haben. Doch ich bin schon jetzt nicht in der Lage, all das zu nutzen, was wir haben - und langweilig wird es mir mit dem Vorhandenen auch nicht.

Ich genieße das, was wir haben - und freue mich auf das, was noch alles kommen wird.

————— deepl translation —————

I feel the same as higgy. Of course I know it's tempting to always have something new. But I'm already not in a position to use all that we have - and I don't get bored with what I have.

I enjoy what we have - and look forward to what is yet to come.

I have since received the Thrustmaster Airbus Quadrant:

• All switches and the both thrust levers, including the reverse thrust, work for me.

However, there are differences in the thrust levers between the Aerofly FS 2 versions from the App Store and from Steam:

1. In the version 2.04.23.01 (20200117) from the App Store I did not manage to put throttle and thrust reverse on the thrust levers at the same time.
   
   I solved it by putting throttle on the thrust levers …
   
   
   
   … and thrus reverse on the red buttons on the thrust levers:
   
   
2. With the version 2.05.03.27 (20210102) from Steam it fits as it should.
   
   
   
   
   

I will occasionally try to program the switches Eng directly in the gc-map.mfc.

The artificial runways can be hidden by deactivating the files "…_rwy.tmb". I do this by adding "___OFF" to the end of the file name, e.g. EIDW - Dublin Airport:

- from: rap2108m68m_rwy.tmb

- to___: rap2108m68m_rwy.tmb___OFF

The texture resolution in the cockpit is a function of device specs as far as I know. On the best devices you should see a higher resolution.

We also have to balance the texture size for all aircraft. They take up a ton of space and we can only load so much into your device memory before the app is shut down by the operating system.

I just looked at this on an iPad. The texture volumes of the different planes are already very different. While on a DASH 8 I can see the text pin sharp, on the LearJet or the G90 it is much more blurry.🔎

With the DASH 8 Q-400, "PushBack" is already possible today via the variable pitch propellers.

My order is due to arrive at the end of January 2021 - I am curious and will report back.

Moin Jan,

If I knew what I had to do to convert the motor (in the screenshot VIOLETT) glider from FS1 to FS2, I would be happy to do it. That also applies to the winch (in the screenshot BLUE).

Tschüss, Michael

After looking at this Oahu scenery addon, plus the fact that FS2 now has 2x heli's, I decided to buy/try this again (not even on a Steam sale, lol!). After a full day of flying a R22 around Oahu I gotta say I'm very glad I gave FS2 another go.

Many thanks to the developers of the scenery and of course FS2 developers as well. I'm having a ball with this now. Cheers.

I'm actually looking at a multiplayer flight sim to play with my 6 years old on two IOS devices, together. He's expressing interest in flight sim. In the process I stumbled across Aerofly FS 2021 that looks amazing -I know it does't support multiplayer-.

...

I started "virtual multiplayer flying" with Aerofly a few years ago with my grandson (then 7 years old) and we still do it today.

Virtual in this case means that we fly side by side on 2 devices in the same airspace. Yes, it requires a little imagination - but it's still fun.

Let's assume that no one would have created this DLC. Then this DLC would not be missed by any user. Now someone has created this DLC and made it available for free. So everyone can download the DLC and try it out. And if you like the DLC, you leave it on your computer, otherwise you delete it. Neither by the one nor by the other one arises a damage. Just because you don't like a DLC, you don't have to leave the whole simulator.

I am glad about all who support this flight simulator actively with adons.

On the PC version we have a TM.log in the C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Aerofly FS 2. Does this file also exist on the mac. if so can you post it.

This file will normally explain why the dreaded red cube has appeared

Also, many thanks for all the messages, really appreciated

Steve

Oops, I could have thought of that myself:
