Dear all, I would line to know what are the compatible rc télécommande for Rc9 on a MacBook Pro 2021. I don t find any clear infos on the internet (except for PC users). I have a dx6 Spektrum, but I guess I won t be able to use it with rc9, cause the Spektrum recepter dongle is not Mac compatible.

The Spektrum WS2000 dongle works on a macbook pro 2019 with aerofly RC8 and 9 for sure. No problems at all.

Thanks JP! That is perfect. I’ll get in touch with support also regarding licensing.

Hi there - I am mid way through creating a new panoramic scenery for Realflight RC9, and I thought it might be a good time to create one for Aerofly at the same time and give it to the community here.

My goal is fairly modest - I have a high resolution panoramic photo of the field, and the main thing I want to do is create the field in the sim so that it looks great along with making basic collisions possible for the buildings, trees and fences.

Has anyone documented how to do it? I've had a look at the Aerofly 5 manual and it seems to be entirely concerning the creation of planes. It did mention that a license file would be needed and that is a complication. I have a full MacOS licence for Aerofly RC 8 and 9, and Windows (steam, standard) license for Aerofly 7. Is that going to be a problem?

I can muddle my way through most of this, but some help on how to use the af5-createpano-x64.exe executable along with its expected inputs etc would be much appreciated.

Thanks for any help - M.

Hi Del,

Does it crash if you start aerofly without the dongle plugged in?

Hi guys,

When you get a moment could you please fix the following crash?

Software: Aerofly RC9 (all versions so far as I aware)

What occurs: Instant crash on Aerofly Rc9 whenever two Veloxity aircraft appear together on the display.

Repeatable: Yes -

* Either two people fly Veloxitys on multiplayer or

* Load a Veloxity for both player 1 and player 2 or

* Record a Veloxity flying and then play it back while still having a Veloxity on screen

System: MacOS Ventura (both Intel and M1)

I can’t wait to see how it flies - thanks JP - looking forward to its release.

Hello William,

As a beginner, I think you won't need to worry about dual rates - just set up a new model and bind that to your WS2000. That way, if things go wrong, you have the simplest setup to work from. The next thing to sort out is what mode you are using:

Learn about Mode 1 vs Mode 2:

Once you have that sorted, check to see whether the plane's controls move appropriately with your controller. When you apply left sticks, does the rudder and ailerons move correctly etc. You may need to reverse some controls in Aerofly to get that right.

Then if everything is moving in the correct direction - you should be good to go.

I'm putting together a list of all the user created sceneries I can find for Aerofly RC 8/9. If anyone has more, could you please add them below. I also want to thank the creators of these sceneries (in particular Paul Dürr, Jean-Pierre Aria and Cornelius Munz) - you add a lot of value and beauty to Aerofly RC.

I’ll be buying it! Thanks JP

It depends on the time. There’s usually people online in the European evenings. I’m in Australia and I rarely see online players during the middle of the day.

But multiplayer works fine.

Thanks very much JP

Thanks to everyone who has been creating content for Aerofly RC! In particular, thanks to P. Dürr and JP Aria for their work.

I had a question about scenery. Is it possible to use very high resolution images for the scenery? Many of the current scenes look fantastic, but as I fly towards to the horizon, they start to blur as the camera zooms in. This is expected of course, but I wondered whether higher resolution scenery files might help here? I know that in 2010, computers would have struggled with these images, but perhaps at 2020 computer could handle it?

Also, can I covert scenery files for RC7 directly to RC 8/9 - or do I need the original source files for the scenery in order to make the RC8/9 files?

Hi Jedorme,

Does this fix it?

1. unplug any dongles from usb.

2. plug them back in.

3. bind or link your transmitter back to it.

4. start aerofly

5. in aerofly select “controller”

6. select your transmitter.

see if that works.

If it doesn’t, pm me - I’ve been using aerofly on a mac every day for more than a year without problems.

Great to hear! With a little fiddling, you'll be able to get flaps going from your transmitter because the WS2000 supports 8 channels. I setup a 3 way switch also to do: nothing, brakes, smoke.

I have used aerofly rc 8 on a mac using a DX9 and NX10 and a WS2000 wireless dongle and it has worked perfectly. I setup my work station with the WS2000 always plugged into a USB slot so that when my laptop is plugged it, the WS2000 is ready to go. I just turn on my transmitter, then start Aerofly RC and it works. Now I have a NX10 and I use the cable instead - although the WS2000 works with that too.

Unfortunately, the situation is very unsatisfactory for our customers as well as for ourselves.

...

We will therefor consider an alternative way of offering future versions of Aerofly RC to Mac users, preferably through Steam.

Thanks for trying so hard to get this fixed with Apple. I read that Apple is very difficult - and many other development houses have failed in this regard also.

Well, your new preferred solution (Steam), is also mine - as it if flexible. I'd like to be able to use Aerofly RC on a mac or pc without having to pay twice.

Now that you have control of the situation - can you give an update about what the plan is - with a timeline perhaps?

Thanks very much JP!

bought the slick of jp aira and it flies horrible
Not worth your money i wish i bought a other one

Didn’t I buy that Slick for you by donating to JP Aria on your behalf?

Quote from jparia

To progress well with an RC flight simulator, you must consider each flight as in reality.

Make and repeat new figures until they are perfect.

Good to meet you Jparia. I find that as long as there is something I am consciously trying to improve, I generally improve. Though not as fast I as would like.

Quote from jparia

In my opinion, the multiplayer mode does nothing to progress. It's more for fun.

I agree. Although it does help indirectly. For example, I met Andra Cervi flying on Aerofly RC multiplayer. His flying and encouragement inspired me to keep going.
