Pause and play

This is not only true for mobile users but also on PC. I asked for this several times many years ago but unfortunately implementation has been refused, reason unknown.

I would like a "manual trim slider" on the ui but I'm not holding my breath

A possible solution on mobile. Would be to use the microphone with a virtual co pilot.

Captain AE Very helpful, I guess you never flew in VR.

So, mobile players, you know how FRUSTRATING it can be, when you are at a short final or any critical moment, and realize

'Oh wait, the auto brakes aren't set', 'Oh, the spoilers aren't armed!' 'Oh, the autothrottle is disengaged!'

Usually, in real life, pilots can easily navigate hands to the switches (and they have copilots), but in aerofly, you need to:

Look at the switch

Zoom in

Press the switch

If there is a yoke in the way, you need to close it.

This process takes time. And before you know ot, the plane is way off course by the time you look up.

So, can we get a pause feature, which ALLOWS you to look around and press switches (Like xplane10), and then unpause/resume the flight in that configuration?

It would be REALLY helpful,especially on the short final locations.

The auto cockpit would help but would break the simulation the player is trying to achieve themselves.

Display More

You can always go around

But seriously, this would be a good addition.

Well, xplane10 has this feature where you could just pause. And then you could configure the switches, and then resume to be on your way.

FS2004, FSX had this and I guess many versions before but I cannot verify that anymore. I am sure MSFS has it too.

And yeah, I never flew in VR coz I don't have a headset, and my PC specs are not good enough for gaming.

Sorry to hear. It is best possible immersion and Aerofly is the best flight simulator for VR, especially also with slower equipment. I started in summer 2017 with Aerofly FS2 and a Oculus Rift V1 headset and a second hand pc and I still use this configuration nowadays with Aerofly FS4 (see specs below).

And no, I am not talking about a playback slider. I am talking of pausing the current moment of the sim to configure switches. Playback is different.

Nobody is talking about Playback in this thread.

Yes, its surely true that the basic operations would be much easier and reliable in a real airliner than on a mobile phone!
