I always stay between the center and the mark above with the ILS. Plus, my cockpit view is slightly lower than normal because of my modified 777 file, so I look more straight ahead. It's definitely not the case of eye position.

It's not like I flare more than 5 degrees. What i mean is that I sometimes have to force more input to get to that 5 degrees with the 777 than i would in the other aircraft like the 747. It's just how the plane's physics is in the game.

If you modified the 777 then this explains why it may fly differently. Did the last Steam update correctly change the b777.tmd file and overwrite all of your changes as is should or was the file blocked by your manual changes perhaps?

What would you like to do with such data?

In VNAV mode the speed is automatically managed for you. You need to switch to a different mode in this aircraft because is has no Speed Intervention button (SPD INTV) like the newer 737s. Press the LVL CH button to perform the climb or descent instead and then manually adjust the speed as needed.

Our 737-500 is retrofit with a CDU that is not very common. It wouldn't even have managed speed and no VNAV climb functionality in with this combination but for commonality we kept these features in. That's why it's not working 100% but most things work just like in the other 737s.

Please check in Steam that the Aircraft Add-On DLC was indeed installed.

Go to your Library in Steam, right click Aerofly FS 4 in the left hand column and select properties. On that menu select DLC on the left side and then check that the checkbox is set for the Aircraft AddOn:

If you check the checkbox it should automatically start to download the content for you.

I found the issue and corrected it internally. The copilot PFD was indeed missing that input. Easy fix though, should be included in upcoming updates.

Thanks for the report, even tough others have already reported that.

That is the selected mach number from the autopilot at high altitude. It's only a cosmetic issue tough.

THR CLB is a thrust mode not a speed mode, yes. You need to change to a different vertical mode first. Once the autopilot captures the selected altitude the mode changes from THR CLB (commanding constant thrust) to SPEED (thrust adjustments are made to maintain airspeed).

It's on the long to-do list.

Most likely the auto thrust is not in SPEED mode. This can be dangerous if you fly manually which is why some airlines prohibit such operation in the real world. Either engage the autopilot or force the auto thrust into speed mode, e.g. by using a vertical mode like vertical speed or altitude hold or just disengage auto thrust if you fly manually.

During approach you need to press the MCDU activate approach phase so that the auto thrust decelerates to the approach speed, depending on flaps.

You are absolutely right, multiplayer is a must for simulations. Owning and managing an airline would be great. And more importantly, the arrival of the meta and the current time.

I've never seen a Level D simulator for professional pilot training that features multiplayer. So not, it's not a "must". It's a "nice to have".

Aerofly FS Global was designed to break the yearly cycle of new apps. With the subscription model for global scenery and in app purchases for individual aircraft only time will will if this new app can remain profitable long term so that we can keep it around. So far we've been able to skip the 2025 version successfully and we were able to add more new aircraft throughout the year than in previous app versions. With your support we can keep this app going, so thank you!

What device do you have and what route did you fly?

If we get a A359 in the possible future,will the A35K winglets be remodeled ?

We're just waiting for Airbus to fit the new winglet design to the -1000 as well

The winglets have been prepared for a possible A350-900 at some point in the future.

The APU rotation speed is correct, yes.

When you are flying the area around you is downloaded to your device and then displayed on screen. This requires an active internet connection. The downloaded data is then cached, or in other words it's not delete right away, so that you don't need to download the same area over and over if you already have a local copy.

Reload the aircraft and never touch the drive disconnect buttons and the issue should be fine. Once the generators are disconnected you have no AC power unless you keep the APU running.

When you press the generator drive disconnect buttons the generators become inoperative until a mechanic opens the engine up and puts it back together. On some aircraft in Aerofly FS all you need to do is shut down the engine and then press the button again to fix the disconnect. I'm not sure if that is implemented in the 787 though but please give it a try.

They do not operate the MAX 9. Only the MAX 8.

where to disable it on A320?

On the A320 there is a NWS / Anti-Skid switch near the gear lever. You can also press on the steering tiller PEDAL DISC button to temporarily disable nose wheel steering during the flight control check.

Actually liveries take up most of the storage space of aircraft. And they are already compressed data...
