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!

I'm looking at getting a new iMac and hoping to get AF4 for it. Strange question, but does the simulator pause if you switch windows / apps? For example could I leave it running in the background whilst on autopilot / cruise whilst I check my emails etc

And secondly, just to confirm the 'Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition' works fine on silicon macs with AF4?

Thanks!

Looking forward to the release of Global on iOS! I have only been a light user in the past, but looking to get more into with this release.

Does anybody use Navigraph to complement Aerofly? I would like to add a bit more realism but was wondering if I planned a route in Navigraph would I then be able to replicate it in Aerofly? Or is the database totally different due to using different AIRAC cycles? (I know you cant import flight plans etc)

For example will SIDs and STAR's be different? If a STAR was missing are you able to manually add into the Boeing and Airbus FMCs?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a list of the various button mappings? I don't think they can be remapped but a list would be good.

Would this be something that could be considered for a future version? Would be nice if I could map trim to a couple of buttons.

Thanks

I think you need to set an ILS approach using the Navigation Menu for the autotuning to work.

That makes sense, thankyou. I'll keep on tuning manually and adjust by 0.05 either way if I get nothing

Does this just tune for ILS approaches? If I was flying in the Cessna heading to a VOR that I manually dialled in and then went flew near an airport would it then autotune to the ILS if I was within a certain range?

Or would it tune into VOR's automatically as well?

To be done at each session: zoom to 100%, double tap/click to center, unzoom to what you would like from the center position. Your are done.

But yes, our last center zoom should be memorized fo good.

Thankyou!

Well done on the release of the latest version!

Quick question - is there anyway to set a custom default zoom? The behaviour when double tapping to recenter appears to be inconsistent - sometimes it will go back to the default zoom, sometimes to the current zoom and sometimes to something in-between the two.

Thanks!

Great, thankyou!

Sorry if obvious, but could somebody let me know how manual vs assisted rudder control varies? What does it assist? Is it just in coordinating turns or am I missing the point?

Thanks!

Thanks for confirming Jan
