Aerofly Life Project - Demo 1.0 Available now !
even though I am still working on this project I wanted to give you something to play with in the mean time, so here it is !
To try this out you need to simply unzip the file into your … Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\places folder.
This current package only has the following South Florida DLC airport locations active; Key West International, Key West NAS, Marathon, Tavernaero, and Ocean Reef Club.
Please keep in mind that this is only a 'proof of concept' demo so expect some bugs like floating vehicles in some locations (due to 'autoheight' being temperamental), not all roads have traffic (as this was done mostly manually currently) , and even though I have an internal working copy with the remaining airports going into Miami they won't be included in this first release as I have to still tweak them.
Also, very importantly you need to understand that this is a personal project at this time and it not an official IPACS feature release. It may turn into an official release down the road but for now it isn't. I also have to mention that this is what it is for now so I won't be changing too much in terms of volume, except for maybe a special new feature here and there. I may also move on to another DLC once I complete this one but please don't ask me to make special locations for you at this time. I will however be releasing a tutorial so that others can do this as the actual process is rather simple.
Well, without further ado, here is the link:

I hope you enjoy this taste of the future

Aerofly Life Project Coming Soon!
I feel that it's about time to announce a special project that I'm working on that i'm sure will please the masses.
How many of you would like to see some life in Aerofly? Well, the time has come (or just about has come)
It's important for everyone to understand that this is not an official IPACS project or feature at this time but down the road it very much can be. For this feature to be made internal it will still need more work to make it fully 'deployable' to make it easy for us to add this everywhere. But for now I will only focus on the South Florida DLC. I may add this to other DLC's following but please don't hold me to it.
So, let's get down to it, I will be releasing a demo shortly that will add road and sea traffic, plus a couple of other Easter eggs that you will have to just find yourself A lot of detail has gone into this, including some highly detailed vehicles that match the real life counterparts. My focus right now is for proof of concept, and the proof is that it is pretty amazing and i'm sure everyone will agree.
I feel that this project is a long time coming and when you see it in action you too will agree that it brings Aerofly to the next level of realism.
Please give me a little bit more time with this as i'm still working out some minor items, and the Miami area is a bit busy so I want to try to fully capture that in this project.
For now, until I release the demo for all of you to enjoy, here are some sneak peeks (static ones but you get the idea).

Core Improvements Update moves to Beta
we have just posted an update which will address the following;
1) Probable fix for Vulkan issue with AMD RX 570/580 GPU's - it looks like this is a cross platform driver bug or even worse a real hardware issue with these GPUs. our fix should not introduce any performance problems or visual differences. This should be tested by any users with these types of cards and report back to us with the results.
2) Aerofly FS2 using 100% of a single CPU core bug - this update fixes this bug. It's possible that a few users will see improved performance here and there, but it definitely reduces power usage.
3) The controller menu has been reworked - You now see what channels and buttons are assigned to a controller function. you also now see if a button or key is assigned multiple times to different functions.
For any users with multiple joysticks connected, we need to insure that the fact that when more than one channel is assigned to a function it is not really an issue, but it can be in certain circumstances. Please report any findings with this change.
This update will be posted to the beta channel for now so that this can be tested by everyone. If you find any issues with this build please report back to us.
Thank you for your continued support.
