Hello IPACS Team,
I would like to report a usability issue regarding the on-screen virtual controls in Aerofly (mobile version).
When flying with touch controls, the virtual rudder control is positioned directly below the throttle levers. During landing and rollout, this creates a serious control conflict:
It is very difficult to use reverse thrust while simultaneously
maintaining directional control on the runway, because
the rudder input area overlaps or interferes with the throttle/reverser area.
This is especially problematic during high-speed rollout after landing, where precise rudder control and reverse thrust are both critical. In many cases, activating reverse thrust causes unintended rudder input, or vice versa.
Suggestions:
Allow custom repositioning of on-screen controls
Or move the rudder control further away from the throttle/reverser area
Or provide an alternative rudder layout optimized for landing/ground roll
This issue only applies to the on-screen (virtual) controls, not hardware controllers.
Thank you for your continued work on Aerofly. The simulator is excellent overall, and improving this control layout would greatly enhance realism and usability for touch-control users.
