It’s been 3 months since the last airport update, can we expect some new airports anytime soon?

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

When you position yourself anywhere other than a parking position then you might collide with airport objects or buildings. That's why this isn't a good idea, it doesn't work reliably.

But Jan, this happens regardless in the sim even now. I don’t see how adding cold and dark would change anything. I’m assuming it’s an easy addition

IPACS, thank you for the amazing A350. I’ve been having lots of fun flying it around. But, considering Qatar Airways and Etihad are some of the largest A350K operators, it’s a real shame we don’t have their respective airports properly modelled for realistic flights… can we expect them soon?

You can remove trees fully on PC to my knowledge, it was probably made on PC

We don’t need anymore planes… Quality over quantity. The current selection of planes with the A350 coming is already fantastic. I’d rather the devs focus on some more important things such as weight and balance, weather, adding 3D airports (africa and the middle east still don’t have a single 3D airport apart from Dubai!)

One of my only complaints I have with FS4 are the cumulus clouds - to be honest they just don’t look good and look very outdated. Are there any plans to upgrade the cloud visuals in the near future? I think volumetric clouds would elevate the sim to another level.

Have patience. I personally have a feeling we will get it by the end of the month/beginning of next

This is an Aerofly fault.

Ahh, I see, so there isn’t anything we can do then

I believe this can probably be fixed in the airport editor. I don’t really mind the bumps in the surrounding scenery but at some airports it’s a big issue because you physically cannot taxi through some taxiways (like Paris CDG and Hong Kong). If IPACS can somehow fix the issue at just the airports it will be a good start

The correct term is 'third-party addons' and these should only be placed in the ..\Documents\AFS4\ file path and NOT in the Steam folder.

Yes, I did this and the game’s elevation still broke.

Documents/Aerofly FS4/Scenery/Images

and also in -> Scenery/Elevation

I’m still unsure if it was the add-ons that created this issue or if it’s a default Aerofly issue. I can send pictures of my folders later when I have the chance and perhaps someone will know what is wrong

This just happened to me, I changed the wind direction and the engines spooled up to mars… had to restart the game to fix it. It’s a shame 3 years later this issue still persists

Jan, any info…?

Hi, so I was playing around with some scenery mods (adding airports and orthos) from flight-sim.org but it seems that I kind of messed up the games’ default elevation in the process…

I do not remember these ‘bumps’ and hills appearing before (they happen all over the world now, the photos are just examples) so I was wondering if anyone knows how I can revert back while keeping the mods?

I tried repairing game files through steam but it didn’t help.

I’ll re-install the game as a last resort if needed

If they don’t release OTHH with/before the A350 i’m gonna be pretty disappointed

Absolutely agree. IPACS would literally be doing themselves a favour by making repaint kits since it allows the community to make liveries for them. I myself would love to make liveries

Also, I hope that they rework the entire process behind making liveries as it is currently far more complicated to make liveries in Aerofly compared to other sims

QR a320 would be amazing

Quote from A350dabest

Hopefully the A350 will have better thrust and not an unrealistic amount like taking of after 5 seconds

Until we get an actual weight and balance system in the game, this won’t happen. I believe the issue is that most aircraft in the game have a relatively light weight and thus takeoff roll takes a lot quicker than usual

I’ve tried clicking on it before on PC but nothing shows up, Is there a specific graphic setting needed for the cam to work?

Unfortunately, SDKs are only released for Windows. 😒

On a Mac with INTEL chip, SDKs can be used with Windows if it is operated via BootCamp or a virtual machine (e.g. Parallels or VM). Unfortunately, this does not work on a Mac with Apple's own Mn chip because it does not work there "x68".

Ah that’s a shame, I was going to make a lot of liveries for the community but it seems it’s not possible with my computer! Thanks ApfelFlieger

Thanks for the link Tomfa, its exactly what I was looking for

I'm currently trying to make my own livery however I realised you need the aircraft converter. After I download it from the Aerofly website, there is only an .exe but no .dmg executable file. Is there no way to use the converter for mac or is it only windows exclusive?

Currently trying to work this out...

Hi everyone, on this link the user says that all Aerosoft A320 liveries can be converted and are compatible with Aerofly FS4. In fact, they converted a livery already for Aerofly (Condor.) i’m unsure how to do this and was wondering if anyone would be able to create a tutorial on how to do it please? It would be appreciated
