Using 12GB RAM, with the minimum setting, the problem still persists
That SFO hole has been in Aerofly for a VERY long time. I doubt that one is RAM related.

Since we can start literally anywhere standstill, it would be an amazing feature if we can also start in cold an dark mode. It’s kinda annoying to always manually shut down the plane for turning it on again. I don’t rlly like the fact that it’s already in taxi state. Furthermore, this feature already allows us to spawn at any position at an airport so we really need cold and dark mode for that
They’re planning to add parking positions to all airports Cold and dark everywhere

I was on a flight from KSFO / VHHH with the brand-new A35X, Cathay Pacific and when I was on final RWY 25L I didn't realize there was a large pole at Runway Threshold and crashed. My whole flight messed up
It is just me or someone else has same issue?
PS: Same large pole is on RWY 25R Threshold, is a sort of comms anthena.
Yes, this has been reported many times over the last 1+ year. The most recent update is here: EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING
Supposedly it was going to be fixed in the latest update with the A350, but mine also didn’t get fixed. -
I have to admit, it was much better before the update. Now it's especially bad at night. People should finally realize that older devices are simply no longer compatible.
Wow, I didn’t even realize how bad this affected night flying. The city lights are minimal or just blocky and cut up squares…..

It is sad that I cannot get an answer from anyone, I am someone who loves long flights and I want to fly more with the A350, when I use time skip I make good progress, but I also skip the Top of Descent point and teleport directly to the final point. My suggestion is that dear producers, the time skip should be able to stop at the position we want, so that I can take control of the plane before reaching the top of descent point and finish my flight with a nice descent and landing, it would be nice to be honest. I do not know how the system in the game works, but thanks to this feature, the number of people using the simulation will increase. Thank you in advance, best regards.
Yes, a number of users have already suggested that we can choose the exact point on the time skip. I hope it gets added.

I agree with you, I know the developers are busy and have a life outside of Aerofly, but there are many errors reported before and so far they have no solution, they seem to ignore people's mistakes.
Yes absolutely. I don’t want to sound accusing, but leaving bugs unfixed for so long has been very annoying.
IPACS is clearly a small team and what they have accomplished is undeniably incredible. But how small is their team? Is it time for them to expand so that these bugs can get fixed faster?
Again, not pointing fingers at anyone, but some times I have to wonder how some bugs escape beta testing, such as this laggy rendering. Are they rushing through betas? Are beta testers not testing enough? Is IPACS pressured by people to release updates faster? I hope not.
I’ve been using Aerofly mobile for almost 9 years now. While the new features have mostly been enjoyable, there always seems to be some bugs with every major update that take a considerable time to get resolved. -
This could be a "side effect" of reducing the rendering area.
Or it's an intentional effect that's paired with reducing the rendering area.
Honestly I'm really upset by these changes. It's ruined Aerofly's beautiful scenery. Why does it feel like every update has to come with some random reductions?
777F released? A319 IAE engine sounds get destroyed with no fixes for 6+ months so far!
Some new bug fixes? All of your city and airport lights disappear for an entire month! -
We also need the IAE engines for the A320ceo, also if you keep in mind that we already have them on the a319 and a321. I just can’t fly a British Airways a320 with CFM engines
Some BA A320 had CFM engines? https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/6738782

I'm assuming you have iOS, but iOS is just bullshit. That's why I'm an Android user. I'm actually talking about devices with little RAM! You didn't understand that.
Yes iOS and it’s fair to say android obviously has better performance.
But this means around 50% of Aerofly mobile users (those that use Apple) will be alienated by these graphic reductions. -
I have to admit, it was much better before the update. Now it's especially bad at night. People should finally realize that older devices are simply no longer compatible.
My device was released in October 2022, less than 3 years old. Do I really have to upgrade my device with the most expensive option every year or two just to get graphics that were already stable last week??

Giving users the option to crash the app is not our goal because crashes impact sales directly.
The option to crash the app already exists though?
If a user with a truly weak devices doesn’t limit their FPS and goes for high pixel density and ultra graphics, that will more likely lead to them having a self-inflicted crash.
And reducing the render distance will also simultaneously directly impact your sales. The scenery simply doesn’t look as good anymore, it’s choppy. Would customers be deterred by that? Can I really recommend that to potential new customers? -
Would it not be possible to apply these render distance settings to the graphics quality option? I’ve always used ultra graphics and had basically zero problems. Could you set a specific render distance for ultra (the original distance), high, medium, and low?
That way those with “weaker devices” would be forced to match their performance settings and those with “stronger devices” can continue to enjoy the original graphics before this update. -
Rare crashes are still crashes. It should never crash ideally.
I’ve racked up 200+ hours of flight time, 600+ takeoffs, 1200+ landings, and 300+ full flights in FS Global alone.
As far as I can remember, I’ve only crashed once during these 1.5 years of Aerofly FS Global which occurred months ago and it never happened again.
There’s no way reducing the scenery like this is the right solution just to lower from 1 to 0 crashes in the span of 1.5 years. It’s seriously overkill.
Please reconsider. It just isn’t fair to penalize users like this when it was quite literally 99.99% never crashing to begin with. -
First of all, the A350 has been fantastic. Easily IPACS’ best work yet. It’s been an absolute joy to fly it.
However, one thing in the latest update has taken away some of that enjoyment.
The reduced render distance of 3D buildings has started to make the scenery look poor and unfinished. Some times it’s hard to line up with the runway because it doesn’t generate until you’re close to it.
According to Jet-Pack, this reduction in the render distance was meant to reduce crashes on “weaker devices”.
I have been using an iPad Pro 2nd generation which has been affected by this reduction. Except I have RARELY ever experienced any crashes since FS Global released 1.5 years ago (I can barely remember ever having app crashes). Is this really a “weaker device” if I rarely ever crash? Why was I penalized by this?
I just upgraded to an iPad Pro 4th generation (which is obviously a more powerful device) and this render distance has also been decreased. I’ve posted pictures below.
Please reconsider the render distance by reverting it to what it was before the A350 update or find a solution so that those of us who rarely crash aren’t penalized by other users having “weaker devices”.
I don’t mean to sound pushy, but I really hope this can be resolved soon and not have to fly around for months with this scenery.

What device do you have?
IPad Pro 4th generation
-
Can you reproduce this? Does it show every time?
Just did a 90 minute flight from Manila to Hong Kong. The pole showed up again and the terminal building didn’t generate correctly.

Hello ipacs,
I think that the 737 Max and 737 900 need new liveries like SunExpress, Pegasus, TUI, Ryanair, Jet2 and Norwegian livery.
And on the 737 900 a split scimitar winglets. If that would happen soon, we would be happy.
And thanks for the great A350. Please answer what you think of the idea. Thanks in advance.
The airlines you listed do not have the 737-900 or 737 MAX 9, meaning they might not be added to Aerofly.
However IPACS did add the Sun Country 737-500 and Delta 737-500 to Aerofly even though they never flew that aircraft.
I hope IPACS can make a temporary exception and add Ryanair and Southwest 737-900 or MAX 9 until they release the 737-800 and MAX 8. -
We've reduced the graphics settings on devices that have shown high crash rates.
But my iPad Pro 2nd generation and 4th generation have almost never crashed ever since FS Global released and they both got the reduced render settings??
If other people are having crashes on the same device, couldn’t that be an issue on their end only?
-
If you give users the option to crash their app they will use it.
Unfortunately the app crash rate directly impacts sales, so it's not an option for us.
I mean could there a way to add the render distance in the settings menu?
Like it feels bad that all of a sudden my quality goes down just because other people have “weaker” devices while mine is perfectly fine -
Can you reproduce this? Does it show every time?
I’ll try to do it later today.
If anyone else would like to test, try out a full flight longer than 2 hours and land at Hong Kong.
My terminal building also didn’t generate correctly. It was blocky.
