Beim Start von Fs2 will ich direkt im Flugmodus sein und nicht auf dem Menü-Bildschirm

Joelfs — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 20:34:53 +0000

Hi,

ich möchte den FS2 so nutzen, dass ich beim Start des Programmes FS2 nicht auf der Menüseite von FS2 lande, sondern direkt den Flugbildschirm bekomme.

Kann man das irgendwo einstellen?

Danke

Title: Suggestion: Manipulate the cockpit buttons with the Joy-Cons or a controller on Switch

cayden — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 14:11:26 +0000

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your excellent simulator on Nintendo Switch! It is an incredible experience to be able to fly on this platform.

I would like to propose an improvement to make the experience even more immersive: allow players to manipulate the cockpit buttons directly with the Joy-Cons or a controller, without having to use only the touch screen.

Here are some ideas for this:

1. A cursor controlled by the joystick to navigate inside the cockpit. We could imagine putting a cross in the middle of the screen and when it is on a special button and we press A (For example) the button is executed

2. An option to disable/enable this feature in the settings, in order to adapt to all styles of play.

This would improve immersion, especially when playing on a TV screen, because touch becomes less practical in this case.

Thank you for taking this suggestion into account, and congratulations again for this game which brings a realistic and fun experience to Switch!

Kind regards,

…

Is it realistic?

WAR_Capybara — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 16:50:29 +0000

Hi everybody,

i like to fly fighter jets.

I often fly an F-18 in AFS 2, I also flew with an F-18 in another game and experienced a more realistic feeling than in AFS 2 (such as the plane shaking with sudden movement, the feeling of shooting down the plane in an abnormal maneuver)..

And in AFS 2, the plane flies without any difficulty, and no matter what I do, the plane doesn't shak or spin out of control, which makes it feel like it's really away...

What do you think?

You can take a look at the link I shared...

Titre : Suggestion : Manipuler les boutons du cockpit avec les Joy-Cons ou une manette sur Switch

SpeedBirdOff — Sat, 28 Dec 2024 07:02:29 +0000

Bonjour,

Tout d'abord, merci pour votre excellent simulateur sur Nintendo Switch ! C'est une expérience incroyable de pouvoir voler sur cette plateforme.

J'aimerais proposer une amélioration pour rendre l'expérience encore plus immersive : permettre aux joueurs de manipuler les boutons du cockpit directement avec les Joy-Cons ou une manette, sans avoir à utiliser uniquement l'écran tactile.

Voici quelques idées pour cela :

1. Un curseur contrôlé par le joystick pour naviguer à l'intérieur du cockpit. On pourrait imaginer de mettre une croix en plein milieu de l'écran et quand celle ci se trouve sur un bouton spéciale et que l'on appuie sur A (Par exemple) le bouton s'exécute

2. Une option pour désactiver/activer cette fonctionnalité dans les paramètres, afin de s'adapter à tous les styles de jeu.

Cela améliorerait l'immersion, notamment lorsque l'on joue sur un écran TV, car le tactile devient moins pratique dans ce cas.

Merci de prendre en compte cette suggestion, et encore bravo pour ce…

Ground roll sounds

Jet-Pack (IPACS) — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 13:44:36 +0000

Hello!

I've been out of the loop for a while, pleasantly surprised to see the A319, runs perfectly in VR. I was able to modify some sounds on the A320 years ago in FS2, I'd like to do the same for FS4 with the A319 (For some reason the sound designers leave out the ground roll sound) Feels very strange landing and not hearing the rumble from the gear etc, a bit of an anti climax with large speakers

What I'd like to do is increase the ground roll sound (if there actualy is one?) Like in MS2020/24 taxiing at 20knots gives a low rumble, by rotate speed the sound is quite loud until airborne.

From memory the TMD files need adjusting? Any assistance, or I'm willing to pay if some smart person is able to adjust the files for me. All other sounds are great.

Also, is there a way to force the CFM model to use the IAE sounds, for some reason the CFM does not sound realistic, they nailed it with IAE

Thanks

Below is what I see in the a319.TMD file

Real Cessna 172

Overloaded — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 15:18:01 +0000

C172 has the following drawback: the device variometer shows the change in vertical speed almost immediately after the change in static pressure. The actual variometer in the Cessna cab shows this speed with a very noticeable delay in time.

Aerofly has a static pressure channel and a vertical velocity channel, which receives changes from the first channel. How do you slow this down in a tmd file by analogy with the speed difference between OilTemperatureInput and EngineOilTemperature, where Speed = 0.5? The Speed command can only be used for the "needle" type, but not for the vertical speed.

Aerofly FS4 SDK

swampyorchid — Sun, 15 Sep 2024 12:35:23 +0000

I have still not seen any discussion on the SDK capabilities in the new Aerofly FS4. Will there be a similar SDK as in the current FS2? Will it offer more functionality, e.g., will it be possible to set weather parameters such as clouds? Also, will it be possible to create custom mission via the SDK?

Hi guys,

oh no, I did it again: Another video tutorial to show the workflow of cultivation.

With OSM data and scenProc this can be done extremely fast.

Split scimitar winglets for 737-900er

rhodiumghost — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 20:36:42 +0000

I’m sure you all know that the 737-900 is missing split scimitar winglets and it’s not that big of a deal it just would be really nice to have them to add even more realism that the plane has.

Hello luron 1976

Have you succeed in having this SDK ? If so It would be nice if you could provide it to me.
Thank you

Calibrating the thrustmaster TCA Captain pack x Airbus Edition

Linus28 — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 14:19:30 +0000

Hello,
I bought the Aerofly Fs2 and wanted to calibrate my Airbus joystick. Everyone who has it knows that there is still reverse thrust, that's the problem and I have full reverse idle but I want idle on my joystick. I've tried everything I could but I don't know what to do so I'm asking for help here.
Kind regards Linus

Meteor FL.53

Not sure if anybody would be interested in this Italian 1950s fully aerobatic airplane.

Every nut and bolt has been modelled with blender on this Meteor.

F104G Starfighter

orange//de mather — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 02:25:35 +0000

Hi Guys

Just a few shots to let you all know I am still working on the starfighter. Not got around to specular and bump mapping yet so forgive some of the shine and weird colors. Need to get all the modelling out of the way then I can concentrate on better texturing. Glass is proving to be a problem.

Cockpit is starting to fill up, all switches and gauges from the F104G Fighter bomber, German version are modelled but still lots of work required, strange to sit in a model I have built in VR. Plan to add a Garmin type map in the centre console to replace the Radar of the real aircraft. How all that works is beyond me at the moment but we'll get there.

At least it's in the sim and flies, not too well but it flies, roll rate is very FAST (thanks to Jan for his efforts)

Had I known how much effort goes into one of these aircraft I would have taken up golf.

Could we have a paintkit for the A320 please?

steven.martz — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 03:41:50 +0000

Hi

I know others have asked before, but could we please have a paint-kit for the A320. I would really like to have an Aer Lingus livery (the old Green top version) for it and I'd be willing to have a go if a PSD paint-kit was available

XREF library objects that don't show off

steven.martz — Sat, 30 Sep 2023 11:14:57 +0000

Dear IPACS team,

The XREF library is pretty cool and quite straight forward to use, at least for 3DSMax users (I think we should imagine a dummy we place without 3D modelling tool, for instance via MCX, but that's another topic).

I could easily populate my test bed AD with several of your object. Some of them however won't display in AFS2, despite placed in the same object group as other objects from the same library that properly show up on my AD.

I haven't tested them all, but at least the following items form the xref_usa_airport library don't show up in my AD:

- suv_big_01_virtual

- suv_big_02_virtual

- TankTruck_virtual

- TankTruckTrailer_virtual

Other items form the same library work properly, so it's not just the complete library.

I double-checked the object name spelling (copy-paste from the library).

Thanks in advance for having a look at it.

Cheers

Antoine

Pilatus PC-12 NG

Hi Aerofly community,

I do not know if anyone has already created this topic but I wanted to know what you think of a Pilatus PC-12 add-on for Aerofly fs 2. This airplane is magical, beautiful and having an add-on would be fantastic no ?
