Jarrad Marshall Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 G'day Mark, This is probably a question best directed to the IPACS team; this would be a major feature implementation to the core sim and I wouldn't want to speak on their behalf about such things. Cheers, Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you simply use the built-in camera features or are you using some kind of (yet not available or at least unknown to me) camera tool similar to Ezdok, Chaseplane (for FSX/P3D) or X-Camera (for X-Plane)? Some aerial views suggest the use of some additional tool, which is something I often miss while in AF2. Thanks Filippo I also wonder: Find Jarrad video on this page and see how is moving all around with some kind of tool https://www.facebook.com/flightsimcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Hulme Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Very close now. I see there's an official Innsbruck FS2 page. I thought I'd try downloading a fresh FTX Central, but its crashing when I click "download and install" on the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrdangel Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I see Innsbruck and Meigs are released for AFS2! Am I to assume an update to FTX will be released to show AFS2 as an option when first launching FTX Central? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefVR Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Everybody, this is completely spectacular. Just had a first flight and its all whats proimised and more. By far the best visuals detail and performance I have ever seen in Virtual Reality. Only thing I would like to see is the cars on the roads moving but there is a train which moves and the detail is increadible. On a high end system performance is also great just need some more ram to avoid reloading issues but thoise have been there without the addon too. Its a showcase of the future of VR and a beginning of a new aera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unfortunately away from home for work, so I can't try these til I fly home tomorrow. ☹️Just bought both sceneries anyway, so I can get in to it as soon as I get back to my computer. Am supposed to be going out with the gf tomorrow night - I stupidly said yes, forgetting about this release date. If anyone can think of a good excuse to get out of this unfortunately-timed commitment, let me know so I don't miss out on my Friday night Meigs/LOWI Aerofly session.

When you click on FTX central, you should see a new update available, once that's downloaded that should allow you to see AF and the options to purchase/download the scenery. Not Working for you?

BG2518 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 No, that didn't happen. Stuck with P3Dv3 and v4 only. Reinstalled Central - SAME. It's a no go for me but thaks for your input.

Griphos Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I wonder if when you click on LOWI or Meigs in the Global scenery section, it won't open with the option to buy or install both the P3D and AF2 versions and you can then install the AF2 versions you bought?

BG2518 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Tried that via the P3D v3 option (of the 2 I have, v3 and v4) and it simply says installed (as it is in P3D). Thanks again for this idea too. I'm simply not being updated to include AF2 and I can't do anything to force it - I have logged out and in etc etc - nothing works. BG2518-Bob.

BTW, I also had to run Aerofly first and allowed the sim to run a small update. Then I went to Ftx Central to run the patch. Hope this helps.

However, it is still unclear how Jarrad can walk around that way without anything like Ezdok, Chaseplane or X-Camera, to make the most known examples. Maybe it's me, but I am not aware of any free camera or world camera in AF2. So far I help myself with panning and zoom the best I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, we used a built-in developer mode to slew around the scenery. I am not sure if IPACS want us to share how to enable this mode, but I'll ask the question.

NoLonger Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Well, what a surprise... I never expected this but LOWI made me remove my Rift and fly in 2D again...! It looks nice and all in VR but man, that low resolution is killing the detail! I just had to see it on a 2D monitor to enjoy everything in a worthy manner! VR is nice but it sure does have some huge disadvantages... Anyway, great addon! It has been quite a while since I bought an Orbx airport and boy, I have never seen the surrounding of an airport being modeled in such a wide area and with so much detail! Great job! Only now I have to decide everytime if I am going to fly in VR or 2D LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiFlyer Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I switch back and forth pretty much at whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I also switch back and forth. I haven't actually used my Rift for a while because I've been flying airliners a lot, and the Rift isn't compatible with setting up flight plans, searching for weather reports, reading charts etc. However nothing beats the Rift for certain types of flying. Would you rather look at a mountain that is 30cm high or 3000 ft high . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly would be. Some type of EFB such as the one in the TFDI Boeing 717 would be perfect. A virtual tablet would appear full size while in VR, and as long as the res is good it should be readable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFlyer Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 There was a post on the Ipacs forum by somebody that was working on something similar. I presume if flyinside can do it, that others could as well, for Aerofly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
