Frequently Asked Questions

There are different ways to find the sceneries in Flight-Sim.org:

(1) Overview map "Aerofly FS2 Scenery-Map":

With a click on a green marked country in the overview map the category of the country opens.

In this country category the individual contributions can then be selected.

(2) Categories in the menu "Filebase":

With a click on "Filebase" the overview of the categories opens.

Another click on "addons/scenery/..." opens the list of categories for the countries.

You can then select the individual contributions in the individual country categories.

The planes can be found in Flight-Sim.org here:

• The menu "Filebase" opens the database overview.
• The category "Aerofly FS 2" contains the subcategory "addons/aircraft/..." for the aircraft.
• The subcategory "addons/aircraft/..." contains the subcategories for each aircraft manufacturer, in which the individual contributions with the files are stored.

A small guide from our user "flightXtreme"
( this is only a recommendation from users, it also works with other systems/ paths)

According to Ipacs, you should never copy addons into the Aerofly installation directory.

With the DVD version you have two options: (ok, actually three. See below.)

A)

The standard addon directory is located in:

C: \ Users \ [login name] \ Documents \ Aerofly FS 2

So you didn't save it somewhere else on the operating system side.

B)

You have defined your "extra user addon" directory in the Aerofly file main.mcf.

This can happen, for example:

<[string8][extra_user_folder][D:\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator Addons\]>

You can now install new addons either under a) or under b).

In principle, there are:

.\aircraft <- This is where your add-on planes come in.

.\external_dll <- This is where interface DLLs come in (you shouldn't have used them almost never).

.\scenery <-Here all scenery addons come in.

But now it gets special:

We generally have the directories directly under scenery:

.\elevation <-there can mesh files / directories in

.\images <- This is where the photosceneries come in

.\places <- That's where cultivation and airfield scenarios come in

Furthermore, building_texture, texture_shared can be found here. vegetation and xref.

You can also freely define subdirectories in the directories yourself,

e.g. e.g. by country. \ ch \ \ de \ or \ us \ ... etc.

So far so good. If you install one addon after the other, it will quickly become confusing,

which elevation belongs to which cultivation ... etc.

A better approach - at least from our point of view (and also that of most Payware manufacturers):

Below the scenery directory I define a structure again, only with the addon name as the directory name.

At least that's what I do with my addons now.

So I just have to push the ZIP completely into the scenery directory, and good is:

The Czech Republic then sees e.g. like this:

D:\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator Addons\scenery\cz\documentation\--

D:\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator Addons\scenery\cz\elevation\--

D:\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator Addons\scenery\cz\images\--

D:\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator Addons\scenery\cz\places\--

(And here, too, the data does not have to be located directly but can exist in subdirectories.)

And I also build up such a structure for third-party add-ons. So I have everything that belongs to an addon.

In Aerofly there is no sequence of scenes like in P3D / FSX / XP.
