Dear Aerofly users,
we just publish a new update for Aerofly FS 2. We mainly addressed issues with VR and added the possiblity to use the GUI with your controller only. Here is a list of changes:
- You may now operate the cockpit with your mouse while using VR. Please experiment with it and let us know what you think.
- In the controls menu you may now assign keys and functions for operating the GUI, this way you can avoid using the mouse while in big picture mode or in VR.
- Fixed ADF receivers can tune all NDBs
- Added MB339 flight director
In the next updates we are going to address further VR issues. Please note, in VR the moving map is currently not working properly. Its best to turn the map off by pressing 'M'. Also the flight infobar is experimental as well, you may turn it off by pressing 'I'.
Please also keep in mind, that if you use VR and you have set your quality settings to high, ultra or you enabled lots of clouds, you REALLY need a very fast 3D graphic card or you will notice stuttering while looking around.
In case you missed it, here is the changelog of our last update:
- Preliminary support for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Please note, this is a very early implementation. Also keep in mind to use a very fast 3D graphic card.
