A couple of qol. features that would greatly improve the day to day experience.

  • Overall I'm really happy with Aerofly, especially since it provides some aircraft which are simply not present in a simmilar quality in X-Plane or MSFS (A380,787). Nevertheless imo. there are just some things which I greatly miss in Aerofly that I took for granted in other sims.

    Something I'd really appreciate would be a generic EFB for performance calculation which could be used for all current and future aircraft which don't have an EFB provided by their manufacturer. I'm simply not a big fan of magically importing the performance values, nor are you able to adjust them for different flap settings, flex takeoff ,packs or runway conditions. The EFB could obviously be used for a lot more in the future (ground services, charts, aircraft weight and balance etc.)

    The next big thing would be Simbrief integration. Sure the stock flight planning tool is not that bad, but Simbrief simply is the gold standard. I'm not a big fan of having my flightplan magically appear in the MCDU/FMS, hence why a proper uplink feature would be great.

    Another thing which i'd love to see would be custom views (sure you can edit the config for the stock ones, but that is anything but convenient and user friendly.)

    What would be your idea for importing from SimBrief? A button in flight planning which allows for loading an external flight plan file? Is this something SimBrief would have to solve, or Aerofly?

    I am also hoping for some way to directly import from Skyvector. ;)

    Simbrief hosts a server which 3rd. party services can use to download a users flight plan, hence why a flight plan could directly be loaded into the sim without the need for the user to import a flight plan file.

    There are 2 ways i could imagine Simbrief being implemented into Aerofly.

    1st. by implementing a realistic ACARS uplink feature or implementing stored company routes for aircraft in Aerofly which offer these features irl. (This is also how Simbrief is implemented in most other simulators and their 3rd. party aircraft.)

    2nd. by simply loading the Simbrief flightplan into Aerofly's flightplanner for aircraft which don't feature the functions i've described above.
