Aerofly FS 2 Plugin 2.1.1.0

17 I think

I haven't set up motion cancellation yet. My platform movements aren't big enough to really bother me for the view changes except when I'm way off to the side and even then it isn't that bad. Now that I have washout going, it fixes a lot of that anyway.

Here are the screen grabs I promised. I only show one of the filter settings for each axis since the other one is identical and don't show it for the forces that don't have filtering configured. This is also before I change anything and is how I was describing it above - probably too much or too fast of washout. I need to figure out if return controls the speed of the return but whatever the appropriate setting is, I need to slow down the washout just a bit.

Hopefully these help but it sounds like you've already been all through this stuff. I just know it seems to work pretty well for me. Good luck!

Also, was checking out the Aerofly website and forums. Looks like some cool stuff is coming and it's just going to get better!

Yet again, great info, thanks @Zed. Testing on hold for a few days now though. My 260kgcm servos have arrived early from China, so my G-Seat is just a few hours drilling and fiddling away. They don't actually delivery 260kgcm but they're 100+ and fingers crossed will do the job.

Hey @Zed ! I just went flying, with *everything* on for the 1st time. My G-Seat latest tune, modified buttshaker (using Voicemeeter banana to crank up the shakers wrt the headphones) and your SimTools settings (unfiltered on the heave though - I want immediate response on that one as its great for heavy landings) on my 3DOF.

It came together really well. With the extra shake and some turbulent wind I didn't notice the jerkiness of the washout returns that had been bothering me before. I was in the Bucker again - I just keep coming back to that. I love the responsiveness and the view out the side. Also the big dials work well with current VR resolution limitations. I like the older prop stuff in general. My ideal is probably a DC-3 or something of that area and size as I'd like a slightly more complex cockpit and to do some VOR navigation in bad weather across some interesting terrain like Scotland. A Spitfire of course vies for top place. By the way that's the reason for Spit40 - I wrote this game back in the 80s (well I did the Amstrad version under licence)



These is my tuning by the way. What are you using?

Wow, does that bring back early day of flight sims memories! Somewhere around that time I wrote a utility for Microsoft's Flight Simulator called ModClone. There were a couple of other utilities that would let you copy parameters from one mode file to another but they charged a lot for them. So I mapped the files and wrote my own utility and put it out on FidoNet then CompuServe. Brothers in arms of a sort! That’s very cool in a nostalgic sort of way! How far things have come now with VR and home motion/G seats!

I’ll grab my settings in a bit. Got some stuff to take care of this AM first but then will be able to. Been tuning things more as I learn more about how the settings work.

Also Aerofly's VR mode broke for me with this last update. One other guy is reporting it too but with a WMR headset. If your Rift is still working, that might be an important data point for them. Was flying X-plane yesterday evening and whacking those settings into shape. Tuning is the real time burner it seems.

Maybe some DCS?

Funny you mention DCS, i just switched to steam alpha 2.1 and am downloading it now. I hope its easier to use in VR than last time i tried. I'm tempted by 1944 and Spitfires if it is.

So far it seems 1944 is very hard on frame rates. Not sure if something else changed or just why. Nevada works great though - or at least it did last time I flew it. Will be trying that later - plus it supports multiplayer...

Now I need wind!
Indeed, things have come a long way since 1985. It was veeery geeky to be into computers then. I don't think I'd heard of Compuserve at that time. I've just been flying the Bucker again. At dusk of course with some FS2 cultivation to give me street lights and buildings. Its very immersive and just lacks some wind in my face. Not long now before we get SimTools 2.2 and Dash.

ello lads, when i start aerofly fs 2, game engine just crashes... anyone got a fix for this? even if i try to relaunch game engine, turn on game manager again, game engine still crashes if game manager is connected to aerofly

this is what i get when i launch it with both game engine and game manager open: https://imgur.com/a/tHYi5

Hello I am interressé by the plugins of aerofly fs2 but is he(it) compatible with simtools 1.3?

The plugin works with SimTools V2 only.

how can i update simtools then? do i just uninstall then install again..?

and is there a way to check what simtools version i have?

yeah you're right. And i installed simtools 2.2 (latest) but game engine's still crashing when opening aerofly uffff

Has GameVibe support been added to the Aerofly FS2 plug in yet? Would love to feel the engine vibrations.

Andrew

I'd love this too. Any possibility @value1 ?

The plugin aerofly fs2, works, but when I start the game(set,play), the simulator and tilted roll ), how corrected?
