  • Aerofly FS2 Re-visited

    Hi,


    I have just re-installed AFS2 from Steam. I already have AFS4 but I decided to re-visit #2 since I did buy a number of addons for it, e.g. I would like to fly JustFlight's Turbo Arrow 3/4 again amongst others. A minor problem has arisen though. I have re-acquired most of the dlc both free and payware (15), but I cannot get the Q400 and the High Res. Texture Pack for SW USA both free to play. Steam states that both of these are in my library but they don't appear in my dlc list or in game. I have of course got the Q400 in #4 and scenery streaming enabled so it's not a massive problem, but I am curious as to why this has happened.


    Has anyone else had this 'problem' and found a solution?


    The AFS2 installation is from a family shared library on this computer but I don't see how this could be a problem since everything else is spot on.


    Glad I re-installed though as AFS2 is not without it's attractions still.

    Thanks to you both. I would love to give it a try but it is a bit expensive and I would like to lay out dosh and find it just gives me motion sickness! :)

    Hello,


    Has anybody used the above flight stick in Aerofly FS4? Is it easy to set up? Are you limited to flying the A320 & A380 or can you fly any aircraft in the sim?


    I have been using the Thrustmaster Hotas-X for a good while now. It is fuss free and works perfectly with my copies of FSX-SE, MS2020, X-Plane 11 & 12 and of course Aerofly FS4. Just looking for a little more immersion. A yoke system wouldn't suit as I dismantle my setup, (it is laptop based), and store away at the end of each session.


    What do the rest of you use?


    Regards,

  • September Update for FS4

    Ok. So I removed all images from my Extra User Folder, verified the game files (7 re-acquired) and then tried the tutorial flight for the 777 from KDEN TO KSFO. Firstly PFD and EIFIS would not display correctly but then did after I paused and relocated the aircraft internal sound came and went as well. Then it froze and crashed on approach to KSFO.


    Aerofly is usually bullet proof but this is beginning to remind me of FSX and its little foibles.


    Please advise.


    Regards,
