Cessna 150 or 152

IPACS should take a look at the Condor 3 simulator's weather. They don't have volumetric clouds, but have a very good weather simulation. For me, something like that would already be very cool in Aerofly. And, in my case, that would make me use Aerofly more for my training, not just for a bit of flying fun

Thanks, yeah these things are all on the to-do list for the future. The spelling error for pitot heat should be easy to fix through...

Thank you for the information.

Can't wait to see those improvements on the Cessna,

Keep up the excellent work

Hi.

Besides the problem with the trim tab of the Cessna 172 I mentioned before, I noticed other things.

The turn coordinator is electric, but if the battery and the alternator are switched off, it still works. Also, the vacuum pump turning off seems to have no effect on the directional indicator or the artificial horizon. And there's the pitot 'head'.

Apart from that, I love the Cessna in Aerofly FS4

Hi.
Been testing this new beta, and, in general, looks great.

Love the updates on some of the aircraft.

One thing I noticed though, is that, at least in the Cessna, the trim wheel still moves the elevator, and not the trim tab, as it was supposed.

But, overall, keep up the excellent work on this great simulator!

I'm a big fan of Aerofly FS 4. But was just checking my Year in Review on Steam, and found out that my love for AFS4 is bigger than I thought...

Trim tab movement is not only when it is stopped...

Ok, thanks for the information. I haven't had the chance yet to try the new update

Hi.
Just noticed that, in this last update, the C172 received some cool updates. Was this issue also fixed?

No. For example, when trying on the ground, if I rotate the trim wheel, it's the elevator that moves, and not the trim tab

Hi there.

I'm starting my PPL (in a Cessna) and, as I was flying the 172 in Aerofly for some training, I noticed that the trim wheel moves the elevator, and not the elevator trim tab, as it should. Since the trim tab is clearly present in the geometry, is this a bug?

Heliports are only shown in FS4 if I have selected a helicopter as the aircraft

I tried that, but the heliport shows on the map, but not in the scenery

To suppress FS4's own buildings and plants, you have to use Tamaras - works great.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is 'Tamaras'?

Try this one:

- rename the tap-dates to lpsc01.tap (this ICAO code is not assigned)

- change the ICAO code in lpsc01.tap from LPSC to LPSC01

- also enter a short name (FS4 always displays the short name)

I will try that, and all your other suggestions.

Thanks a lot for the patience to write all this detailed help

Hi

I'm having some small issues with the small airfields i'm creating

LPSC:

The center of this airfield on the map is a bit to the right of the proper airfield. I tried to change the ‘model_center’ value manually in the TAP file, but it doesn’t change, on the map

Plus, the helipad is not showing inside the sim

LPSR:

In this airfield, I added some parking spots, but in the Location menu of the sim, when selecting one of this parking spots, I don’t get the options for ‘ready for taxi’, ‘before engine’ start and ‘cold and dark’ on the side panel

Also, there are some buildings belonging to the airfield that I added, but those buildings are already present on the cultivation, so I have buildings overlapping. Is there any way to exclude those cultivation buildings, and replace them with the ones I placed?

LP0048:

This one is a small dirt airstrip. The problem is it’s not showing on the sim at all

Here are the TAP files:

LPSC.tap.txt lpsr.tap.txt LP0048.tap.txt

Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot

Hi.

In the C172's cockpit, shouldn't this read 'pitot heat'?

admin Thanks for the answer.

I'm doing LPSC, an airfield that I know very well. Your assets are very good, but, as a 3D artist myself, I would like to try adding some custom buildings to the airfield.

I still don't get the numbers in the position field in the custom object section of the .tap file. They don't look like coordinates

HI.

I have two questions

1 - Is it possible to add custom objects to the airport through the web interface, or just by editing the .tap file manually?

2 - What are the units of the values in "<[vector2_float64][position][68147.00000000 43026.00000000]>" in the example's custom object , and what are they relative to?

No problem, we use what we have. It would be nice for some special cases, though

Is there a way to scale the buildings? If not, that would be nice, even if in small amounts, so that we can adjust them to the footprints in the satellite image

Hi.

I've been using the airport creation tool, and it seem very good. I was just having an issue with it duplicating several times the apron I draw. I don't know if it is a bug, or my mistake. I exported the tap file, edited it to remove the duplicates, and then deleted the airport and imported the file, and it solve the problem.

This made me think it would be very nice to have a side pane with a list of all the objects in our scene (a kind of an Outliner, as seen in Blender or Maya, for example), where we could select or delete any object

Hi.

Thank you for your answer, but I'm still missing something. If I put the Magnetos in the M1 position, the propeller rotates a bit, about 30 to 40 degrees clockwise, but nothing more, even if I wait some time.

As for the rolling, I thought about that, but the rolling should be in the direction of some inclination of the ground, but it always goes back, no matter where I start (tried several airports already).

Also, what is this for?

Thanks once more.
