Thx!

Further testing from my side :

Currently on a flight from Malta to Frankfurt with a Lufthansa A321 IAE, with a weight of 73.5t. Here’s my feedback:

- the climb rate is much more accurate than before (managed to see a 600fpm climb rate !). It took 23min49 from ground to cruise at FL340.

- I’d like to report the fact that we can no longer modify/delete constraints on the MCDU for some reason… Hopefully we can get this fixed when possible.

this is so far what I got, I’ll continue testing and providing feedbacks.

I feel some liveries for a321 are missing.. hope to see them in the upcoming updates:

Asiana Airlines (IAE)

Air India (CFM)

Aegean (old) (IAE)

Air Canada New (CFM)

Aeroflot (CFM)

Ethiad (IAE)

Frontier Airlines (CFM)

Gulf Air (IAE)

Juneyao air (CFM) or (IAE)

Philippine airlines (IAE)

Is there a way to show (reveal) thermal fields? I guess this would be a cool feature for glider practicing...

A great bug fixing update, thank you dev team for your hard work, hopefully more will follow I'm on my way to try it out ASAP

Would love to see videos of glider towing by aircraft and winch with this new version, specially in the K21...

Any links?

Thx!

The IPACS-team have made a very good job with this great and beautifull update. I enjoy every flight with Airbus A321.

Thanks for the correction of the ILS rose mode from blue to magenta. All works fine.

But ,Yesterday I looked to a detail and saw a little Issue. - It is an arrow on the ILS needle. This is not correct. The arrow must be only in VOR-mode

I flow over FFM-VOR and the magenta arrow change from the To to the From opposite site.

Maybe , the VOR-mode is connected with the ILS-mode. I have made 2 pictures , of Aerofly FS 2 (like in the real Airbus , without an arrow) and a

picture of Aerofly FS 4 ( with an arrow).

I would be happy, that I can see an correction in the next little update

Aerofly FS 2 , the needle is like in real Airbus without an arrow

Aerofly FS 4 (after the new update, with an arrow at the needle)

Thanks so much Aerofly team for these free updates - please keep them coming, they are all very much appreciated!

I just spent as very enjoyable half hour fliyng the Antares powered glider over Germany in VR - really fun and relaxing!

Hi.

Besides the problem with the trim tab of the Cessna 172 I mentioned before, I noticed other things.

The turn coordinator is electric, but if the battery and the alternator are switched off, it still works. Also, the vacuum pump turning off seems to have no effect on the directional indicator or the artificial horizon. And there's the pitot 'head'.

Apart from that, I love the Cessna in Aerofly FS4
