New Aircraft Type

    lot of good responses here, let me just offer my thoughts. In the future of Aerofly' I'd love to see:


    - Trent 1000 added for 787 variants

    - RB211 added for 747 variants

    - Virgin Atlantic 744 livery

    - A320 sharklet variants accurate to IRL counterpart - if the real aircraft which the Aerofly one is based from lacks sharklets or does have them, it should reflect in the sim. e.g G-EUUL, the BAW320 in AF has sharklets even though the real one doesn't.

    - maybe a 757-200 if the RB211 and PW2000 get good sounds, there's also a decision of whether to go for a 757 that has a full glass cockpit or has still retained some of the old analog gauges eg artificial horizon

    - A330-300 has a lot of good liveries as previously listed so a good consideration for future airliner: Air France, Finnair, KLM, Virgin etc

    (possibly either the 330-300 or add the -900NEO variant?)

    weight and balance settings (doing a 13 hour flight with an FOB figure frozen at 47 tonnes is a tad unrealistic :S)

    - another warbird sounds like a good shout, maybe a P51 Mustang, Spitfire Mk IX, or something slightly more modern like an F14/F16/ F22 or 35

    - many of the airliners at least offer structure to build other variants from them. From the A320, 747-400, 787-10 and 737-900 other variants could be built eg 320NEO, 747-8i/F, 737-700 or -800, 787-9 or 787-8, could even build the 772ER or 77L out of the 77W

    what do you guys think?

    All of this sounds good, BUT:
    There should be a Qantas livery for the 747 and an updated Qantas livery for the A380


    Delta/KLM/Airfrance/Condor/Swiss/Qantas/Virgin Australia/China Airlines A330s would be good

    Kind regards and safe flying.

    Were you the one posting a ‘flawed QF livery A380’ in the gallery or was that someone else?


    Something tiny is wrong with the qantas 380 livery and i have no idea what 😂

    Phil747, the F-35 family(the F-35A actually) is a huge win win. Along with the upcoming chinese J-35 Gyrfalcon family, we'll have a true 5th gen battle for sure. The F-16(F-16V block 70/72) is very needed for going against other fighter aircraft, like the J-10C from china. As for the F-14 and the F-22, not at all. We don't need these fighters(the F-14 is old and the F-22A is just so obsolete, like not worth it). Also, we need more modern F-15 and F/A-18 variants to counter with other fighters, which china has fighters that are almost at the american fighter level, unlike russia's fighters that don't have enough serial numbers and are not good at all when it comes to air fighting and ground support(they're obsolete too). So American, European, Chinese and Middle Eastern fighters are needed in the game(except for russian fighters). We need aircraft carriers and strike groups along with air force and squadron liveries, and weaponry for said fighter aircraft.

    Dude this is aerofly not DCS 😂😂
    I’m actually slightly offended though because the F14 is a 1980s Top Gun classic, how could you? The main focus of this sim is airliners and light aircraft, if you want those others go and play DCS, all my last post was about getting maybe 1 more fighter to join the F15 and F18 which are already in aerofly. You took this wayyyy too seriously 😂

    I would like FS not to become a combat simulator, but to continue to be a pure flight simulator that gives us the opportunity to fly interesting aircraft.

    Tschüss, Michael (🍎🚁)

    I was- the two-letter registration representation on the stabiliser (ex. VH-OQD=QD) is mirrored and a little bit of white is visible on the trailing edge on the right side


    We also need a new livery as well. They did it for Lufthansa, so why not for Qantas?

    Kind regards and safe flying.

    An all tubeliner SIM would be something to own. IPACS would be the industry leader if they did something like. Ya baby, lets do it ! lol 😉👍Hint Hint, Nudge Nudge 😉

    im not tryna give you ideas man but im just saying, with 2 fighters, an italian trainer/aerobatic jet, a cessna, something like 2 or 3 choppers and the same number of gliders, i dont think IPACS are trying to turn Aerofly into DCS which is seemingly what this other dude wanted ^^^

    I think more military aircraft but heavies instead of jets. A few aircraft I’d like are l-1011, c17 globemaster, p8a Poseidon but that could come as an extra to the new 737, t2 or 1 hawk, a400m atlas. Seeing that more and more sims are starting to recognise helicopters I’d like to see the aw169, puma hc2, ch-47 chinook hc6, Augusta Westland leonardo EH-101 hc3a or mk2 added or thought about and a rework of some military bases in sim. One of the major ones being RAF brize Norton as it’s (in my opinion) very poorly modelled. Please reply with some thoughts about this

    Your suggestions are excellent. I hope they are put into practice by IPACS in the future. You mentioned something that is very important in a flight simulator, which are the weight and balance settings. We also hope to see these settings in future versions of Aerofly.

    also forgot about this bit but weight and balance on the concorde would be great, especially as it burns fuel like no other modern airliner. that would require it to be able to shut down though, and i dont think that's possible with the way IPACS built it.

    To date, I've only seen the Concorde in cold and dark mode in PC flight simulators. It seems to be very complex and laborious to put it in this mode because of its old configuration and its multiple systems. More modern aircraft have simplified systems, which facilitates the work of developers in producing.
