Aerofly FS 2023 Beta Version for Android

Quote from admin

Ok, performace is expected to be lower with aircraft AND airport lights enabled in this special version. We might have to disable the airport lighting ( from the buildings ) to keep performance acceptable. We might test this in the next beta.

I'm having major fps drops in the beta my game went from 60fps to between 5-15 I don't think the fps is device related since alot of people are also having this problem so I don't think removing airport lights is necessary and the lights are reflecting way to big

Estou tendo grandes quedas de fps no beta, meu jogo passou de 60 fps para entre 5-15. Não acho que o fps esteja relacionado ao dispositivo, pois muitas pessoas também estão tendo esse problema, então não acho que remover as luzes do aeroporto seja necessário e as luzes estão refletindo muito grande

Both the airport lights and the plane lights are wonderful in this beta version and make the simulator much more vivid, bright and beautiful. The flying experience is totally different from what exists in the 2022 version of Aerofly. This airport lighting was perfect. I am delighted with these lights and the incredible work done by the developers in this beta version allowing the lights to work even in the OpenGL API. My hope is for them to find another solution for the FPS drop other than removing the airport lights. Removing the airport lights would take away some of the beauty and shine of the simulator.

I prefer to play at 60 fps without airport lights, it's bad and horrible to have 10 fps no matter how beautiful the lights are, most users just want to play with quality fps, I hope they remove the lights from the airports, it's useless for them to be seen beautiful if it takes away from quality... hopefully developers just add lights to planes I'm happy without lights at airports and I'm sure most will be too

Yes that is why this is just a beta testing!

🙂

The fps drops occurs even in day time, when the lights are not visible. Hope the devs find the best solution to get optimal balance between lightning effects and overall performance. Hopping also for it to not take too long to get fixed. I am currently stuck on beta version, even if I leave the beta program, uninstall the sim and clear the cache, when I reinstall, it appears to be the same beta version witch is being installed, with lights and por performance.

Publicaremos uma nova versão no canal beta para usuários do Android hoje. O número da versão é 20.23.01.19. Esta versão apresenta apenas as luzes da aeronave e desativa as luzes do aeroporto por enquanto, pois o impacto no desempenho foi muito grande. Estamos trabalhando em uma versão mais simples da iluminação do aeroporto para uma atualização futura.

Gostaríamos de obter algum feedback sobre como está o seu FPS com esta versão em aeroportos movimentados como KSFO e longe de aeroportos no ar.

Observação: existem alguns dispositivos Android que não suportam a iluminação da aeronave devido a limitações de driver de hardware e/ou software.

Take advantage of this update to insert smaller general aviation airports that are missing outside Seattle-Tacoma Airport (KSEA). The airports are: KRNT, KPWT, KPLU, KTCM and KGRF.

I am very sorry that you have to turn off the airport lights. Even with the drop in FPS for me it was an incredible experience and never experienced in a mobile simulator. With the airport lights the simulator is more vivid, beautiful and full of brightness. I was really enjoying these beautiful lights and even with the FPS drop it wasn't disturbing the pre-takeoff procedures. The drop in FPS only exists on the ground at the airport and after takeoff the FPS increase with the plane already in the air. As a customer, I do not agree with the removal of airport lights as it takes away some of the beauty of the simulator.

on the ground it improved from 3 fps in the previous one to 5 FPS, 6 FPS, in the air outside it was already 20 to 30 FPS, more optimizations or a decrease in the distance that the light reflects would be good, but I believe that optimizations

I just updated Aerofly 2023 and indeed the airport lights were disabled. There was an improvement in the FPS which are now ranging from 40 to 53. One detail that I noticed is that the strobe lights are no longer reflecting on the ground as before and that several smaller general aviation airports are still missing in the vicinity of Seattle-Tacoma (KSEA ) such as KRNT, KPWT, KTCM, KGRF and KPLU. I hope they add these airports that in my view are missing because they are important centers of general aviation in Seattle.

With the aircraft on the takeoff runway, the simulator is running at 28 FPS with peaks of 32. With the aircraft in the air, the FPS increase to 40 with peaks of 43. I performed these tests after the last update with the simulator graphics at maximum and pixel density at 100%.

All airports are hand made so that would take time it isn't like they can say poof and they make an airport every update

I am still having fps issues after the update. Before the beta I was getting 50+ FPS on any airport. After the first beta the FPS dropped to 7~12 FPS on the runway and now I'm getting around 17 ~ 22 FPS. After taking off, away from any airport, I get 45 FPS. Not a substantial improvement. Weirdly, even if I turn all the aircarft lights off, I dont get any performance improvement and it happens also in day time.

Snapdragon 865, graphics on high and pixel density to 100%.

We will publish a new version in the beta channel for Android users today. The version number is 20.23.01.19. This version only features aircraft lights and disables airport lights for now as the performance hit was just too big. We are working on a simpler airport lighting version for a future update.

We would like to get some feedback how your FPS are with this version at busy airports like KSFO and away from airports high in the air.

Please note: There are quite a few Android devices out there that do not support the aircraft lighting due to hardware and/or software driver limitations.

At Amsterdam Airport I'm only getting 15fps and in the air 30 but when I'm in the menu it's 60 fps I feel like as soon as I enter a game the fps gets limited to 30 even tho I don't have the fps limit or on and my divice can handle 120fps

Qual processador do seu aparelho? No meu snapdragon 865 não passa de 20 fps com tudo no máximo.

Went from 5 to 15 to 15 to 30 at sfo. Midair at 60000ft in the middle of USA I get 51-60 which is my normal fps.

Esta versión solo presenta luces de aviones y deshabilita las luces de los aeropuertos por ahora, ya que el impacto en el rendimiento fue demasiado grande. Estamos trabajando en una versión de iluminación de aeropuerto más simple para una futura actualización.

Nos gustaría recibir algunos comentarios sobre cómo son sus FPS con esta versión en aeropuertos concurridos como KSFO y lejos de aeropuertos en el aire.

Tenga en cuenta: hay bastantes dispositivos Android que no son compatibles con la iluminación de la aeronave debido a las limitaciones del controlador de hardware y/o software.

magnificent update, I use a xiaomi poco F3 phone with snapdragon 870 processor with 8GB of ram ... now I have a stable 30 fps in cockpit view, and external I get to have up to 40 ... removing the lights from the airports significantly improves the stability of the FPS increased substantially, thank you very much... now the experience as an Android user is beautiful and extraordinary the lights of the planes reflect on the runway in an extraordinary way also strobe lights etc thank you very much Ipacs team

android 😉🥰

My device's processor is a Snapdragon 865. In addition, it has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The device I use is a recently purchased Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. I'm particularly satisfied with the FPS after this last update. I did not agree with the deactivation of airport lights but I have to accept it as it is for the good of all.

The performance of the simulator is the same because it is very heavy. Let's avoid complaining because that way the developers will keep tinkering with the simulator and removing more items leaving it with the appearance of previous versions like 2022, 2021 and 2020 in which it was practically impossible to fly at night with so much darkness and lack of lighting. Removing more items from the simulator would be a catastrophe as we would walk backwards like a crab. I want evolution in the simulator with the addition of more items and things that make it more and more modern and make it the highlight among all mobile flight simulators.

Technology evolves over the years and we have to keep up with this movement. With each update, the tendency is for the simulator to become even heavier due to the addition of new features. And to keep up with this evolution, we have to make an effort and acquire devices that have good hardware capable of running the Aerofly 2023 smoothly, in addition to the next versions that come over the years.

Ainda estou tendo problemas de fps após a atualização. Antes da versão beta, eu conseguia mais de 50 FPS em qualquer aeroporto. Após o primeiro beta, o FPS caiu para 7 ~ 12 FPS na pista e agora estou ficando em torno de 17 ~ 22 FPS. Depois de decolar, longe de qualquer aeroporto, consigo 45 FPS. Não é uma melhoria substancial. Estranhamente, mesmo que eu desligue todas as luzes do carro, não obtenho nenhuma melhora de desempenho e isso também acontece durante o dia.

Snapdragon 865, gráficos em alta e densidade de pixels em 100%.

Wouldn't it be better for you to uninstall the beta version and go back to the original version since you are not satisfied with the performance? My device also has a Snapdragon 865 processor and I'm running the simulator with the graphics at maximum. But I can also reduce the graphics quality to medium and also reduce the pixel density which improves performance. It's a very small improvement, but it's already something.
