The AviaPlanner looks like good value for having all the charts in one place in the same format and has a planner that isn't overkill (I dont have time to read a 40 page briefing from Simbrief, etc).

Even if you cant import into Aerofly, you can still set up the route in the AF planner so and you can compromise if waypoints are different etc.

My question is presumably the dev's have the ability to create new procedures etc themselves when designing / updating airports, i.e can they update frequencies or set up things differently, if a ILS has disappeared etc?

Also curious to know if has been any tweaking to the LNAV sensitivities? (or was it worked out that these were fine)

Got it working on free flight as well - only had time for a simple test but it was dark at 0600 in December and light 'today'.

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

I'll try once I can find the file on my mac

Does changing the time and date in the mcf impact daylight hours (sunrise / sunset times etc)?

Sorry, it does show up in the MCDU as flight plan steps, but does not show up in the navigation display if you have the same arrival and departure.

This might be how it is in the real world

Thanks again, I'll take another look tonight - it lets me do it in the planner but doesent follow through to the MCDU etc

Thanks! Adding waypoints makes no difference unfortunately when keeping arrival and departure runway the same

Two questions

Firstly, I was trying to plan a route to and from the same airport (EGNV) and it doesn't load into the MCDU or the flight information bar - is this not possible?

And I should know this but EGNV rw 23 has three different approaches available (I23,N23 and Q23) - can someone explain what the differences are (I assumed the 'I' is for ILS....)

Thanks!

Thankyou!

Sorry to bump, but presumably when flying the C172 it's normal to still have a left turning tendency when level and not at full power? And requires constant aileron / rudder input to keep the plane straight?

Thanks

Thanks Jan. Apparently it works with 'Enroute Flight Navigation' - I haven't had chance to try and set it up but it says its supported.

Does anyone know which apps / software 'Broadcast Flight Info' works with? I know admin mentioned ForeFlight - any others?

Thanks

Please also have a look at our tutorial site here.

Thankyou

Thanks all, some reading to be done

I've finally set up AF4 with a flightstick on my desktop. The tutorials are all very thorough, but I'd like to get the most out of it and actually learn how to fly manually (and make the most out of the automations as well!). I'll probably be focusing on the C172 then moving onto the A320. Can anyone recommend any resources to help learning with sim learning thats applicable to AF4? Books, YouTube channels etc?

I'm aware I can watch the co-pilot so maybe that is good enough!

Thanks

Thanks Frank - indeed, presumably there is no reason why the sidestick couldn't be used to fly all the other aircraft

Sorry to bring this back this thread up, but my new iMac will nearly be with me - I haven't bought the sidestick yet but noticed AF4 has DualSense support.

Does anyone know if this makes use of the gyro for pitch and roll? Or does it use the sticks?

Thanks again!

Thanks both!

Would never had thought about needing an adaptor!
