Instead of making an interface to support an external application from another flight sim we should just implement these things ourselves into the Aerofly FS core simulator. That way all customers on all our platforms, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android can benefit from it.

It is the EQUIVALENT STILL AIR DISTANCE.
Yes, that's the one.
-
3D audio is already available for the A320 for example. Other airplanes will follow over time.
-
Estimated air distance I think.
*Edit: Equivalent still air distance

The configuration trim is currently not active on the ground to avoid inadvertent changes to the takeoff pitch trim if you set the trim before extending the flaps. Normally before each takeoff the pilots are expected to compute the weight and balance and set the takeoff pitch trim accordingly. I am not sure if the configuration trim would be active in the real aircraft during a touch and go, e.g. above a certain airspeed and not depending on ground/air sensor.
In the videos we use the default controls as much as possible, with auto trim enabled where this issue does not exist.

We're still working on both of them

Could the mobile Learjet’s runaway flap trim in manual operation be considered for a fix please?
The Learjet 45 pitch trim has already been updated with the current Aerofly FS 2023 version and Aerofly FS 4. It now applies a fixed pitch trim offset so it should be 100% reversible regardless of the airspeed at which you extend or retract flaps. So what runaway trim issue are you referring to? Is it a new one I am not aware of yet?
-
Probably one from the pilot radar altimeter and another from the copilot radar altimeter. Did you set both sides?
-
Ok that is a bug and I was able to fix it in my developer build with a single line of code. So chances are high that this can be included in the next update round.

It's been two months. Not sure if that already counts as many...
We've made good progress on the 737 but of course we also had a pause during the Christmas holidays.
Not sure if we can already show something, but I'll ask.

Some of the numbers seem to be incorrectly entered by default, I'll change them.
The actual mass of the aircraft without fuel is 39200 kg or about 86420 lbs and the gross mass is 46000kg, with 6800kgs fuel on board.
With an empty mass of about 31950 kg the passenger mass the remaining payload is 7250 kg, 47 passengers and 3250 kg cargo.
The mechanical calculator shows the value in a wrong unit, it should multiply by 2.2 but it currently divides the value by it.
With the ZFW entered into the mechanical calculator you can enter your desired landing flap setting with the knob in the lower right and the needle will point at the Vref for landing. For now a Vref of 135 is a good value for Flap 40. It should actually be lower than that but we'll address this issue once we implement a proper way to set the fuel and payload in a menu in Aerofly, some time in the future.

The cabin lights are a good idea. We already simulate this in the A320.
We are also still working on updating the sound for our aircraft. With the new 3D sound we have to adjust a lot of sound levels.

Try rebooting your phone and make sure you select lowest graphics settings to make sure it runs at all. If that does not fix it then please try uninstalling it and reinstalling it. After you re-installed Aerofly you can restore your purchases, you do not need to buy them again.

These are great suggestions of very big features. Each of these take a long time and are not added in a day. But we're constantly improving the sim and appreciate the suggestions

You don't need an expensive 3D program, you can use the freeware tool Blender!
-
Turbochargers are not yet simulated. So you would just have to increase the engine power (TMD has the value in Watts).
-
Please check if you can convert the DR400 from the SDK first. If that works then your own aircraft from Aerofly FS 2 should also convert just fine. After running the converter you still need to change a lot of things in the TMD file but I have a script for that. If you send me the converted Aerofly FS 4 aircraft files (even if it doesn't load in the sim yet) I can quickly convert it for you and get it to load again.

I don’t see the throttle information anywhere on screen except the display underneath the auto pilot stack. It’s not a big deal. I understand if this game isn’t meant for a PlayStation controller. I was just more curious than anything. Not sure if I missed something in the settings or something of that nature. My main curiosity still is with the dynamic lighting, not working on my iPad when it worked flawlessly for many years until the latest ““ update. My model number is a few messages above this one. Hopefully I will get an answer on that soon. IPACS Support
Sorry, I forgot that the mobile version doesn't have this.
-
The flight information also shows the throttle and flap position.
-
No, if you only use the menu it should be fine as well. Maybe delete the old route and create a new just to be sure there are no remainders of a previous route.
Keep in mind that some discontinuities on the route are expected during approach. Some segments are coded as manual segments or ATC vectors.
