Thank you. What is the problem with the installer?
You're welcome.
There's no problem with the installer. It was designed and tested to install the software for use with AFS2, and it does that flawlessly.
The updates would be to accommodate either or both of AFS2 and AFS4. Far from rocket science.
In actuality, the testing would be more involved than the updates themselves...
Does this work with Aerofly Flight Simulator 4 ?
Hi rafson,
Yes, it does. But... the installer would need to be updated for exclusive use with AFS4.

My issue is that some messages (e.g., NearestAirport) does not seem to be received same way in Aerofly FS4 as in FS2. I have code relying on getting this info, and it is broken in the new version.
The SDK of 12/2019 exposes Aircraft.NearestAirport (0x6b0fc8827e6289ea) as a tm_msg_data_type::String8 - the icao of the airport.
The same value is sent by AFS4 as id 0xa997b8cdd488c3c7 also as a tm_msg_data_type::String8. AFS4 sends the lon/lat of the airport as id 0xfb26c904a49032df of type tm_msg_data_type::Vector2d.
Hi aenbacka, Peixsoft, qwrfvbnrj5hr:
Are you still having problems using the last published external DLL interface with AFS4 (from December 2019)?
What problems are you having? Maybe I can help.
Regards,
Karl
Hi Jan,
Thanks for your reply.
The Bravo Throttle Quadrant axes are, from left to right, Y, X Rz, Ry, Rx, and Z. My assignment settings are, left to right, throttle 1, throttle 2, Propeller Speed 1, Propeller Speed 2, Mixture 1, and Mixture 2. (See attached screenshot.)
These settings work fine in the B58.
No luck in the C90 - throttle and prop work fine; condition doesn't move.
I have AFS4 version 4.03.01.08 (20230517), beta_v4030x0x.
The workaround is to use the right mouse button. Not great but works.
Thanks again.
Best,
Karl
Dear Jet-Pack (IPACS), admin,
Is it possible to assign the C90 condition levers to controller axes? For example, the mixture axes of the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. If there is, I can't seem to find it.
Thanks,
Karl
Hello all,
It was recently brought to my attention that the website I previously used for AFS2 RC ATC has been taken over since I let it expire. My apologies to anyone who visited the website with unexpected results or had emails bounce. My team and I planned to migrate the website to a subdomain of my company’s primary domain (https://advresgrp.com) but haven’t found the time. (I intended to get the product on Steam as well.) My folks and I have been surprisingly busy during the pandemic.
The product is alive and well, still available and supported for Aerofly FS2.
AFS2 RC ATC will be updated to support Aerofly FS4 if possible and necessary (i.e., AFS4 RC ATC). That is, if Aerofly FS4 doesn’t have super-duper ATC out of the gate but does have the required SDK functionality. It would be great to upgrade some features of the product as well, for example weather, given SDK support.
AFS2 RC ATC is available for download at Aerofly FS 2 RC ATC - Flight-Sim.org thanks to Higgy as well as my Google Drive.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out directly (admin at advresgrp dot com or karl dot nietsch at advresgrp dot com) or through these forums as I still lurk on a fairly regular basis.
High hopes and waiting patiently for Aerofly FS4. 
Best,
Karl
it would be nice, when you upload it at our server, so many people will see it and can download and use it.
Hello higgy,
Thanks very much for your kind offer to upload AFS2 RC ATC to your server. I will upload it shortly.
My intention was to move the product's dedicated website to a subdomain of my company's primary domain but never got around to it. (We've been surprisingly busy during the pandemic.)
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Karl
Where I can find the program?
Hello antikuo,
The program is still available (and supported, of course). You can download it from here: Aerofly FS2 RC ATC
I've attached the Quick Start Guide to help you easily get up and running.
You can request a license key (trial or permanent) by sending an email to admin@advresgrp.com (note the license request in the subject). Your email will eventually get to me and I'll send you the license key.
Kind regards,
Karl Nietsch
Hello Felix,
While I considered adding support for VR shortly after release of the product, I decided not to move forward.
The product is still available and actively supported. If you'd like further information, feel free to contact me at admin@advresgrp.com.
Kind regards,
Karl
So if landing lights are available for VRM which I assume uses FS2 for its simulation how come we haven't got it ????
Totally agreed. This has long been among my top wishes for AFS2; a fundamental sim feature IMHO.
Think about how much we paid for Aerofly and how much professional training costs.
Are you suggesting we should pay more for landing lights that illuminate the ground? How much?
-Karl
Hi Pilzkopp,
The email address is admin@advresgrp.com.
For the last couple of days, there were problems with receiving email at this address. The problems have been resolved. The host website, advresgrp.com, is presently undergoing maintenance but should be back up by COB tomorrow (11/25)
Regards,
Karl
Hi Peter,
Yep, still around.
The product is still available and is still supported. The dedicated website has been shut down in favor of using a subdomain within our main website (advresgrp.com). The main website is undergoing maintenance at the moment.
What can I help with?
Kind regards,
Karl
Hi David,
An associate from my support team just replied to your request. For near-future support, please use our admin@advresgrp.com email address until we complete our move to the Steam platform. Thanks.

Karl
Se fosse simples assim eles já teriam feito.
It's obvious from your post in support of the IPACS team that you're a fan. Trust me, I am a fan also. A patient fan and supporter since my first AFS2 flight in February 2017. My post was meant as an expression of support as well. That is, that the community afford the IPACS team time to remain focused and continue down their path of continuous improvement of the platform and aircraft systems.

How about one additional choice? "Complete the functionality of the existing aircraft."
-Karl
Aerofly is basically just focusing on scenery and the planes looks, not the flight sim part.
Interesting that this quote describes perfectly the dumpster fire just released by MS/Asobo.
With the strengths of AFS2 as a platform, among them physics/flight modeling, stunning graphics, performance (i.e., FPS) and extensibility, IPACS has a tremendous opportunity here to leapfrog the competition. (A partnership with "some other" global ortho mapping source? Support for easier airport creation?)

Hello Karl , what is the best and easiest Flight Planner to use with Aerofly FS2 and Radar contact as i gather that a plan has to be created outside first ? I have been used to doing this inside FSX but AFS2 is only a basic planner that won't work with RC4 ? Thanks Mate !
Hello Peter,
I'm a fan of Little Navmap myself. If you're looking for something that doesn't require downloads or installation, you might want to give Online Flight Planner a try.
Regards,
Karl
Anybody knows whether this program is still for sale? When I try to e-mail them I get the response that this register(support)@@afs2rcatc.com is not on this server. Per G.
Hello Per,
Yes, the program is still for sale.
As we are transitioning to the Steam platform for sales and support of this and other products in our pipeline, we've consolidated to a single email for the product website: email@afs2rcatc.com. Any questions or license requests will be handled promptly via this email.
Best regards,
Karl
Greate news, Steve. Can't wait to crash fly her. -Karl
