Is it possible to create a .tma file without 3ds Max? Like with Blender. Because as far as I know for 3ds Max one has to pay.
Because if possible I would also like to add animated elements to my sceneries.

Hi AeRodri
There are big airport like Osaka Kansai or an enhancement pack for Tokyo Haneda
Medium ones like Hakodate or Kagoshima
and small ones like Hachijojima, Oshima, Saga airport
Here you can find some screenshots:
Is there a creation tool by IPACS?
There is one, where you can place so-called "x-ref-models" (default models used at basically any airport) and place the runways and taxiways. So you can already build a basic airport.
If you want to make custom 3D models, you first need to have a 3D model (a terminal for example) in a 3D software like Blender, and then convert the model to a readable file for Aerofly.
Thank you very much for your explanation, I installed them all, they appear to work very well.
Q: I noticed in some of your airports, like TFFF (see screenshot below) but also OOMS, DTTJ or CYUL, that 2 Parking stands can be choosen at the same spot, but one behind the other. I have not seen this with default sceneries. (lately I flew in/out of RJTT, LEMD, WIII, VHHH, WMKK, WSSS, GCLP, EFHK, LTFJ, EHAM, VTBS, LTFM, SBBE and SBGR, and did not see any double parking spots. Is this a fault of some sort, or a glitch that perhaps occurs with external sceneries only?
With some sceneries I have done this intentionally.
When choosing a larger aircraft like the B777, then you can choose the stand further behind, and when choosing an A320 the one which is in front. I always felt like that especially the A320s are too far behind from the actual parking position. But I guess that's only me...![]()
I will update all airports, so that it doesn't use the slightly different names and change all the custom objects to a POI-object. This should then completely remove the problem, that two sceneries overlap. (It will be like the "Mar de Plata" / SAZM airport). The double stands should stay the same, but if everyone doesn't want it, I will remove this option.
How to install the sceneries:
First locate your scenery folder of Aerofly. Usually under documents.
For my airports follwing folders are used:
-"airports"
-"elevation"
-"poi"
The airport, the file with just a name (green) (e.g. "SAZM" or "Montreal_intl_airport_ca") needs to be placed into the "airports" folder
If there is a funny number (coordinates) (e.g. wXXXXXnXXXXX) , that folder has to placed into the "poi" folder
If there is an elevation fix (red) , that has to placed into the "elevation" folder
I will be updating most airport to use the "poi" folder, since now there are a lot of error messages when loading Aerofly in the tm.log.
Since Flight-sim.org has shut down I have to find a way to still make my airports availabe for download.
I have uploaded the airports to my google drive.
Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/…waY?usp=sharing
Included airports:
-Ulsan_RKPU
-RoiEt_VTUV
-Muscat_OOMS
-Montreal_CYUL
-Martinique_TFFF
-MardePlata_SAZM
-DejerbaZazris_DTTJ
-ChristmasIsland_YPXM
I have not included yet:
-Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (VTBS)
-Japan Airport Pack
Since they are all undergoing updates.

I only use this site to download files, but the owner banned my account without me doing absolutely anything. I don't even participate in the discussion forum and only download add-on files, but the site owner started banning several accounts, including mine, without any apparent reason, in an extremely hostile, authoritarian, and aggressive manner, turning the site into a kind of dictatorship. I believe he must be doing this as revenge because users aren't financially supporting him with the site's costs. I was going to make a donation, but when I logged in, I discovered that my account had been banned, even though I only downloaded files occasionally and not very frequently.
He said, that money is not the main problem.
The biggest problem is, that taking care/ the administration of the webiste takes a lot of time. Each new Upload as to be checked and in the past few month there has been a lot of many uploads with limited description, and in general more uploads. He doesn't want to invest his time into flight-sim.org.
Why he banned you, I can't tell, but for sure not of revenge or because he is very hostile and authoritarian. Maybe it is because you have only downloaded and didn't take part of any disscusion. Only taking, without being an active member for Flight-sim.org.
The A330 is dead
If IPACS doesn't develop the A330 themselves, then unfortunately this aircraft is uninteresting for Android mobile users. That's a real shame 😢
No and No.
Because ther are no Updates published it doen't mean we are not working on it.
We are also trying to make the mobile version. For Android.
Currently it will be out hopefully by January
But could be earlier or later.
That is quite ambitious.
Because making a model is only one thing. Making the textures, flight model, animation, etc. a whole another.
If you are able to pull it off I will be really impressed. And don't get discouraged when you will see the big red STOP cube.
Going back to making Airports for Aerofly
I'm updating my Bangkok VTBS scenery. A complete overhaul. Version 2.0
You might know that I made a Bangkok Scenery for old Aerofly FS 2. At the time it was a great addition, because there was no global scenery yet and therefore people could go somewhere else than Europe and the US. I have converted the scenery to Aerofly FS 4, but I haven't made any changes and now it looks... well pretty rough. The models have been created just as I was learning how to use Blender and therefore are not looking good at all. And the new SAT-Terminal is completely missing.
Then IPACS made Bangkok availabel and my scenery looked even worse compared to the one made by IPACS.
But this is going to change now. I will show here and there some screenshots of the progress.
Note that I work alone on this project, so do not expect any frequent updates.
Update 1:
Better shape of the Window.
The current/old one was simply an oval.
The new one should represent the real one better.
Is there a release date for the A330, or is it still under development?
just wait!!!
Hi!I wan’t to join the A330 development
What do you want to do, or what can you do?
3D-modeling, textures, fligth dynamics etc.
No, I don't have it, but from what I understand, it should be released by the end of the year, around November or December, although I'm not entirely sure.
Who said that!?!?! There is no release date at all. (As far as I know. And I work on the project, so...)
I think you don't quite understand.
As eliozo mentioned: We are a team working on the A330, but we are NOT IPACS. We are making an independent Addon for Aerofly.
We are going to release it for PC and are currently testing it on Mobile too.
Hello everyone!I am currently trying to make some aircraft by shortening models etc but I can’t get them into blender….
Bringing current models from Aerofly into blender (like 777-300ER or 350-1000)) is as far as I know impossible.
WOW! Another user made aircraft. Looks fantastic!
