    OFC you're absolutely right about 1) and I actually intended to write: "it shouldn't add all of the required rudder input but rather rely on the pilot rudder and rudder trim inputs to later set it's proper inputs based on pilot's rudder and rudder trim settings" but the remaining text didn't get into the post :-/

    Regarding the other two items, related to asymmetric thrust compensation, do you believe they'll get implemented in later updates ?

    Thank you !

    When I fail an engine in any of the A320 / 21:

    1) with the AP not engaged, I still see rudder being deflected - it shouldn't [rest of the post here should have read: "add all of the required rudder input but rather rely on the pilot rudder and rudder trim inputs to later set it's proper inputs based on pilot's rudder and rudder trim settings"];

    2) if I engage the AP and HDG mode, there's no display of rudder trim units being automatically set (central pedestal - rudder trim);

    3) only if I use the rudder trim knob (central pedestal) will rudder trim units be displayed.

    Would like to see the correct behaviour programmed :)

    Thx !

    Well, just like with aefs2, AEFS4 is IMO 2nd to no other SIM and Airbus add-on I have ever used in reproducing the feel of flight...

    About to ask a fellow 320/21 NEO fellow airline captain to try it....

    My only "experience" comes from a 1hr full flight simulator session (CAE) on A320, long ago - year 2002 !!!

    and also from about 6 jump seat flights in 320 and 321... and I honestly find the feel of "hand flying" the Airbus incredibly close to what I recall from those RL experiences, and much better from what I get from other simulators and various Airbus addons...

    Yeah, an updated dialog for setting date and time would really be appreciated.

    I think the missing date picker is also the cause for all custom missions ignoring the date settings.

    So, using the "tmd" editing mode, we have to:

    1) Find and edit the "main.mcf" file in the Aerofly folder under local Windows account "Documents" folder;

    2) Search for the "<[tm_time_utc][time_utc][]" entry and in the "time_hours" field enter the intended UTC time, in decimal format such that for instance 20:25 will be set as:

    20 + (15 / 60) = 20.25

    Is this it, such that when AEFS4 starts and I pick a place to fly, it'll show me the conditions for the set date and time?

    Thanks Jan, it does indeed - this is a bit of game changer for me and a shame its not integrated into the options. I might see if I can create a 'shortcut' to amend the date to the current day before launching.

    My path was /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4

    Could you kindly take a screenshot from LPPT at a date like today, January 7 2024, at around 20:00 (LT) / 19:00 (UTC) - LPPT from rw 02 ( actually 03 in the sim because not updated ) towards West and post it here ?


    Thx!

    I Love my Copillot ^^

    If you’re looking to transfer your Aerofly FS 4 installation from one PC to another, here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Steam Version:
    2. Non-Steam Version:
      • If you have a non-Steam version, you can manually transfer the installation:

    Remember to back up any custom settings or add-ons you might have. Enjoy your flight simulator!

    I have installed AEFS4 in one PC but want to transfer the install into a new one with more capacity.

    OFC I will install there the Steam client, but then what's the most effective way to transfer my present install into the new PC without having to download it all from the Internet again?

    Thank you!

    I noticed there's only one way to assign a throttle control to throttle in AEFS4.

    Using the C90 I see the lever going past idle into what should be the beta range, but with no detent.

    It would be great to either have a simulated physical detent (for those aircraft that have it IRL) or a control to toggle between normal and beta range.

    Turbulence and gusting / shear wind...

    Even at their max (full right) settings these effects appear to be modelled tamely...

    Would be great to be able to fight nasty weather conditions with a bit more of "stress" :)

    I recall x-winds with shear and turbulence were a bit more aggressive in AEFS2.

    On the other hand I somehow recall someone mentioning in a post that there were some "hidden" weather parameters that could only be set through config files (which files?) and allowed for deeper customization of the weather, including some variables not directly accessible through the in-game menu? Any suggestions welcomed!

    For instance, not that it makes a huge difference but it would be great to be able to set QNH or QFE for a specific flight situation, or to simply set it through the weather menu. Even better would be something, even simplistic, like being able to set QNH at departure and arrival airports if in use...

    Please make DATE setting available...

    When setting up a flight from the spots I usual choose for flying I get a completely out of sync depiction of daylight in AEFS4.

    I would like it t, at least, stay coherent with the computer date...

    The ideal would be to allow for date setting in the flight conditions menu.
