[Installing into Aerofly FS 2 on macOS]

Hi all,

 

We've had reports that installing products into Aerofly FS 2 on macOS doesn't work under some conditions. Our team has revisited the logic for installing on macOS and have updated Orbx Central to v4.1.8 which includes improved install behaviour. This update should resolve many of the reported issues on macOS.

 

How do I get access to Orbx Central v4.1.8?

Opt-in to Fastlane to get early access to the v4.1.8 build. It will update to v4.1.8 the next time it launches (or you can manually check for updates in Settings).

 

Where does Orbx Central install Aerofly FS 2 products?

We support both the Steam and App Store versions of Aerofly FS 2. The installation path will vary based on which one you have installed.

Steam Version: ~/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 2/addons/scenery

App Store Version: ~/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-2-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 2/addons/scenery

 

Does Aerofly FS 2 on macOS support Orbx Central install libraries?

Not at this time, as our testing has provided inconsistent results.

[FSX:SE beta branch - we are now compatible!]

Hi all,

 

ObjectFlow is now compatible with the FSX: Steam Edition beta branch currently available on Steam. This means you can now use all your Orbx products with this version of FSX. Previously, this version of FSX would crash on launch when using Orbx products. 

 

If you are not using this beta and wish to start using it, you can follow the guide on Steam.

 

In order for this to work with Orbx scenery, please check you have done the following:

1. Check you have opted into the beta on Steam and FSX:SE has updated.
2. Launch Orbx Central
3. Check Orbx Central is on version 4.0.7 or later (on the settings page)
4. Update Orbx Libraries (if you are already up to date, press Verify Files)
5. Launch FSX:SE
6. Press 'Yes' if prompted to run ObjectFlow
7. Enjoy!

[feedback : very slow download rate]

Hi all,

 

Over the weekend we hit a hardware limit on a number of our servers responsible for delivering content.  This has caused the download speed issues reported in this thread. As a result, we've begun an investigation into exactly what went wrong and will be arranging for hardware upgrades across our fleet of servers around the world. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused by this disruption and will work to prevent it occurring again. 

[feedback : very slow download rate]

Our team has put measures in place to mitigate this issue. Speeds should improve shortly, and return to normal during the day.

Hi all,

 

We're aware of an issue with our CDN and are looking into ways to mitigate it.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience! We'll try and get you back in the air as soon as we can

[How to make Vector recognise P3Dv4 .xml scenery]

1 hour ago, AnkH said:

Glad to hear, finally. One question: is Vector now capable of detecting ALL xml based addon sceneries or "only" the ones from ORBX?

 

Yep, all of them! Anything in scenery.cfg and the add-on.cfgs, so that should be just about everything

[How to make Vector recognise P3Dv4 .xml scenery]

We've just released Orbx Central v4.0.10 and Global Vector 1.6.3.

 

These updates add better support for Vector when installed into a library, and also adds support for scanning add-on.xml based products in the auto-config tool. Orbx Central will update on launch, and Global Vector can be updated by going to the Global Vector page within Central. You will no longer need to use the manual workaround from this thread.
