I agree with most things, but whenever I see the word "free," I wonder if people think the IPACS team lives on love and fresh air. Some things cost money. Of course it's sad that some people don't have much money, but that's just the way it is. You have to understand how expensive life in Germany has become; then you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Exactly. And first and foremost - read the forum rules. All these things were requested in the forum before

And personnel. €13.90 minimum wage. They want and need to get paid. And Aerofly is compared to other mobile sims relatively cheap. (Sorry for comparison)

I said that because all the other games have multiplayer included in the subscription fee."

And aerofly can do It too

You actually wrote "Since a connection is already required, why not introduce a multiplayer mode? Making it free would also benefit players who cannot afford paid subscriptions."
I put emphasis on your own words.

Neos Air No one said that if multiplayer gets added it will be an extra charge.

Infinitely flight has it included (sorry for naming it) but costs 90€. Which is way more. Hence you can chose if „included“ is based on a fixed fee or the amount paid 😅

Here in Germany, I can play Aerofly for 4 years and then it costs the same than 1 year infinite flight.

These are all great suggestions, each of which would take several months though and are not easy to "just add".

You got it absolutely right. I hope you make the right choice so that most users will be happy with what's getting added next but never everyone will be happy .

Hello, I have a list of requested features and updates that I would like to share. I believe these additions would make Aerofly FS a truly complete simulator:Airbus A330 & A340: This is one of the most requested aircraft bundles of all time.Dynamic Weather: Please add actual rain effects and thunder sound effects.Real-Time Clock: Implement a feature to sync the in-game time with real-world time.Free Multiplayer: Aerofly FS is often considered an offline game, but it actually requires an internet connection to stream worldwide scenery outside the default San Francisco area. Since a connection is already required, why not introduce a multiplayer mode? Making it free would also benefit players who cannot afford paid subscriptions.Airport Ground Services: Ground operations should expand beyond just the pushback mechanic. Please add airport animations, such as passenger buses arriving and passengers walking toward the aircraft.Cabin Interiors: Please continue modeling detailed cabin interiors for more aircraft, just like you did in previous updates.Airbus A350-900: Add the A350-900 to the fleet along with a very wide variety of airline liveries.Expanded Boeing Fleet: The Boeing lineup currently feels incomplete. Following the addition of the B737-500, it would be great to see classic models like the B717 and B727, and especially the heavily requested B757 and B767.More Freighter Aircraft: There is currently only one cargo aircraft available (as far as I remember). Please add more freighter variants.Copilot Model (Optional): It would be amazing to see a visible 3D human copilot in the cockpit.Cabin and Announcement Audio: When using the wing-view camera, please add ambient passenger noises as well as realistic captain and flight attendant announcements.Experimental Features & Bug Fixes: Keep adding "experimental" options in the updates, alongside technical stability improvements like Vulkan API bug fixes.These are my suggestions to help Aerofly FS reach its full potential. I hope to see these features implemented in future updates!

I agree with everything except the requests for aircraft.

what if they open source few of game piece community will work on those mods and everyone can use it then

I believe that introducing multiplayer functionality and more interactive ground activities could significantly enhance the overall experience of the simulator.

Multiplayer would not only allow players to enjoy the game together with friends, but also create a more dynamic environment for those who simply want to spend time in the simulator and interact with other members of the community. For example, having other players performing pushback, taxiing, takeoffs, landings, or other ground operations would make airports feel much more alive and realistic.

This could also greatly improve the realism of air traffic. Seeing other aircraft moving around the airport, following taxiways, lining up for departure, and taking off while you are operating your own flight would create a much more immersive and authentic experience, especially during taxi and departure phases.

In my opinion, multiplayer and expanded ground operations could become some of the most impactful features for a future update, adding both realism and a strong social element to the simulator.

Hopefully, the developers will consider these suggestions for a future update.

I agree that an update with multiplayer would be great. But especially the ground operations. It would be great to have service trucks go to the aircraft before a flight. The pushback simulation also needs to be improved. Users shouldn’t have to drive the pushback cart and start engines at the same time. Instead you should automatically get pushed to where you want when you call for the pushback cart. The pushback cart should also be able to make sharper turns.

I agree with all this but it will take some time so we need to be more patient and support the team.
