Simulation time should eithe be time after simulation start in seconds or time of day in seconds, universal time UTC. 24 * 60 * 60 would be the max value for time of day at which it resets to zero.
Clouds cannot be changed by external messages as far as i know. The library that we use for the clouds does not support this.
Thanks for the info, very much appreciated!😀
What messages in particular need further explanation?
In particular, the Simulation.Time message format. And what is the difference vs. TimeChange? Also, is it not possible to access the weather parameter such as clouds via the plugin API (considering the parameters can be set through the configuration file)?
Hello,
I have been looking into developing some custom plugins for the sim based on the C++ dll example however, I am unable to find any documentation of the different messages (parameter meaning) supported. Is this type documentation available?
Please find attach my tm.log file. I also get a black screen in Oculus VR mode (Vulkan) using the Nvidia GTX1080 and Nvidia driver version 457.30.
Been hoping the same too. The custom livery would be a very nice addon for the EC135 indeed. So I hope a paintkit of some kind could be added.
I am working on developing a custom HEMS training scenery around EFTU (Turku, Finland), and for this I would prefer a custom livery (FinnHEMS) for the EC135.
Can such a livery be externally developed, or does it require complete modification of the model?
Did some testing with the release version of the EC135T1, great work! Attached is a short video of testing the AP upper modes, flight around my under-development EFTU/Turku scenery.
Considering liveries, will it be possible to create custom ones?
Yes it is quite huge, the final .tmb is around 800k.
I was able to reconvert the model using Blender to ModelCoverterX (via FBX format), and now when running it through the Content Converter I did not receive the error messages. However, adding the model to my custom scenery dramatically decreases performance. I have attached the text format .tgi file to this post, in case you could provide some feedback on what could be the issue. Is the model too complex, and need to be simplified?
I got the following output from the Content Converter:

EDIT:
The .tgi.txt file can be downloaded from the following WeTransfer link (~20MB): https://we.tl/t-ETMLbwfBZQ
Thanks for the feedback, I will inform the ModelConverterX developer. The tgi file is around 50mb, but I could provide a link to it so you could check it out as well.
Hello,
I am trying to convert a custom 3d object (heli dollypad) that I have converted to .tgi format using ModelConverterX.
When running the Aerofly FS2 Content Converter, I receive the following error messages in the log:

Any information what could cause this issue would be greatly appreciated.
One thing that I have noticed when testing the alpha EC135 in different scenarios is that you can pull quite a lot of power without getting anywhere close to max continous. I guess this will be tuned still during the development?
Will the FMS be implemented for the EC135? Seems that at least the buttons are clickable
Is a paintkit available for the EC135? Would be nice to be able to do some customisation. Great work, it already flies very well, and the autopilot works great!
Display MoreHi.
I had the same problem. If you go to the main Forum you will see Scenery Lofoten.
Here is the link.
https://flight-sim.org/wbb/ind…hread/78-scenery-lofoten/ this will give you the info you need
Kind Regards
Thanks a lot for the suggestion, will give it a try:)
I am working on custom Aerofly FS 2 scenery for the Turku, Finland (EFTU) region. I have generated the images using AeroScenery tool (levels 9-15). I am now attempting to create a custom terrain map for the same area using the GeoConvert tool from GeoTIFF files (same levels 9-15), process finished without errors. However, when loading the scenery into Aerofly I notice strange peaks (see attached picture). What could be the cause of this. It did not occur before adding the custom elevation mesh.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Andreas
Thanks for the info, seems to work great!
Hello,
I am looking into developing a custom weather plugin for Aerofly FS2, however, the lack of detailed SDK documentation is an issue. Is there any messages defined for controlling clouds etc (corresponding to the same weather options that can be manually configured in Aerofly settings). Also, there is e.g., a message Simulation.Visibility which seems to control visibility; what is the allowed parameter range for this message, and can it be used to set visibility to a specific values such as 10km?
Any information about this would be greatly appreciated
Best regards,
Andreas Enbacka
