Dear Aerofly FS Users,

we have been busy in the past months to work on a tool to create your own airport for Aerofly FS.

We now have an online tool available for testing purposes. It allows you to create an airport for Aerofly FS using a web browser. If you are interested in trying it out and giving us feedback, let us know. The amount of users is limited that we can accept and we recommend you only contact us if you have done airports using FSCP in the past, the workflow is somewhat similar.

Please note, this is so far the online tool only. The resulting file you get is not the actual airport for Aerofly FS, it is required to run through a converter program on a PC computer, so for now a Windows PC is required as well. This tool is not yet published as we would first like to get some feedback with the online tool first.

If you are interested and have done airports for our previous products in the past, please drop us an email at mail(at)ipacs.de.

Hi. Can I create a custom airport for Aerofly Mobile with this? As the tme file can be made right with the SDK?

Hi. I am facing the same issue with Aerofly FS 2023 as Aerofly FS 2022. The camera views cannot be changed while using a controller on Android. Is there any way to fix that?

Extra details: I am trying to use the Amkette EvoFox Gamepad 4. It seems to work completely fine with AF2021 but i can't change camera views in AF2022 and AF2023. I tested it across 4 phones, it yielded the same results. Stuck in the cockpit on AF2022 and AF 2023 but can change views in AF 2021.

Fog (bug?)

Dear @Jet-Pack (IPACS) ,

You can see the planes perfectly fine in the fog so it’s not affected by the fog but the environment next to it is affected. It looks so weird. It’s not really a bug, I assume it’s because of your graphic engine but it looks weird as I said before.

I hope you’ll improve the fog graphics soon.

regards,

Fab

Cloud/ Fog bug (again)

Dear @Jet-Pack (IPACS) ,

a few days ago I showed you that the planes don’t get affected from fog. So you’ll see them as there wouldn’t be any fog at all. The same happens with the airports fences. In this specific picture it’s a fence of aspen piktin and it’s unaffected by the clouds.

Oh. So it came in the 2023 version as well?

Hi, i can't help but notice that when landing or taking off in low visibility, it seems as if the aircraft is clearly visible no matter the distance but the surroundings seem very foggy. Here is an image of AF compared to real world for getting the idea.

It seems as if the aircraft is a seperate layer in the game. And breaks the immersion.

You can cut important parts and upload the original image. Formally, I noticed that when Vulkan was opened, the number of frames was almost half of openGL

Oh that way, a zoomed in version now i see. The first image of this post is a zoomed in version while using Vulkan and the second image is a zoomed in version of OpenGL

I have uploaded the 4 pictures showing one with Vulkan and one with OpenGL

the first one is with Vulkan and second one is with OpenGL. The pixelation difference is prominently visible if you try to look at the HUD.

Quote from Gravitational lensing

You can show pictures

Sure

Hello developers. I am enjoying Aerofly with the new Vulkan compatibility. I was thinking whether you can implement Anti Aliasing to the simulator as an optional setting. Because there is a pixelation issue in the game while using Vulkan. At first, I thought it was just a problem from my side, but then I saw another person's review who had the same issue as me on another device. I think it's either Aliasing or rendering at a low resolution. Anyways Kudos on the new sim. I am not experiencing any other issues other than that.

You realise that all the planes in the simulator have been free since Aerofly 2020?

Aerofly 2023 should have better weather Dynamics such as rain, storm, snow, etc.

However this is just my opinion.

OK, sorry I can't comment on android. I originally had problems with the change camera view (on the ipad with ios) until I worked out that the back buttons (top back buttons on the controller, not rudder paddles) change that view (on the xbox). You might try see if that works for the change of view and

Sadly it did not work. Keymapping also is not an option because there is no way to assign to the spot where the change camera lies because most of the onscreen controls dissappear when I connect to the controller

Quote from HKATER

I haven't been spending time lately on the new aerofly and haven't done this yet for my latest xbox controller but with the IPAD ios15 you should be able to go into the menu and customise the controller via:

general/gaming controller/custom controls

(this option will only be visible when the controller is connected via bluetooth)

for those using ios. Been using a controller on a mobile for a while now and would not want to have to do without.

yes but that doesn't work for android. the change camera button disappears once connected to the controller and the L1 key also has no effect

Quote from AirbusPilot

yes agreed!

Yes

is mapbox a viable solution?

Dear developers, one key feature that was incomplete in AFS2022 was the incomplete controller support. The L1 key, that used to change the camera view in AFS2021 does not work in AFS2022. I am trapped in cockpit view all the time. Please fix this issue as using a controller to play AFS2022 will be a big Quality of Life improvement/restoration.

I have noticed a few missing features in AFS2022, one of the major ones is the controller support. Devs should add an option to assign and change keys for gamepads/controllers just like the pc version of Aerofly. Cheers.

Probably a good idea. But a car doesn’t fly, it stays on the ground.

So the 2D headlight.png file is ok for the 2D ground. But a plane is flying and requires a 3D model lighting cones.

This complex cones (they put multiple cones of light) of light need a neat computing system.

That is true but the only difference is that if the plane points upwards, the light scales down as it goes far away when the plane points upwards. So the only thing required to be thought out of the box here is the adaptive scaling and placement of the the light texture( perhaps this happens with cars aswell since it is GTA which I am referring to, where cars are known to be pointing as well as being at places which they are not made to be there) Also for the mobile versions of Aerofly, there is no volumetrics except for the clouds (which don't react to light anyways) which is being interacted by the aircraft where one would need real lights instead of a texture to illuminate the volume. + the ground is the only thing which is required to be lit

everyone wants more planes and sceneries but I just want pushback... and the lighting issue to be fixed

Quote from Ethan's Aviation

I doubt they will do anything till they make the next one (2023/2024🙄), have lost all hope tbh.

They'll probably fix it after the development of Aerofly FS4 is done.
