  • option to leave on-screen analog controls on even when using game controller

    I wish the developers would do a bit more with the controllers as it’s a great way to fly, mixing controller with touch screen especially throttle/collective with on screen throttle needs attention.

    It takes 11 seconds from idle to full throttle on Concord which is not realistic and it’s even harder with collective on the UH60.

    I’ve also posted with no response on controller issues. 😢😢

  • Flying With PS4 DualShock Controller.

    I’ve been flying Aerofly Mobile version since 2015. Until FS2022 I’ve always used tilt flying but since FS2023 I’ve tried using a PS4 DualShock controller and for me it’s like having a brand new mobile Sim.

    Can anyone recommend a better Bluetooth controller either pad or joystick.


    I don’t know if there are plans to improve this method of control but I’ve got a couple of observations.

    1. The sensitivity of the flight control stick is far to high and I don’t know of a way to change this. I’ve tried in settings but nothing changes.

    2. The throttle response is way to slow as it takes 11 seconds to to get from idle to full throttle on the Concord (excellent aircraft) using the game pad

    3. Could do with a throttle bar overlay as with tilt or analog as there is no throttle reference other than HUD view when looking forward.

    I don’t know if IPACS have any intention of improving this flight method using game pad/ joystick but for me this method is far more immersive using pad + touchscreen than using tilt or analog.

    Just my thoughts, hope this helps …👍😜


    PS To all flyers if you can give this method a go it’s awesome 👍😜

  • Concorde cold and dark when?

    Just started flying the Concord and it’s awesome.

    Does the VS work different on Concord compared with other aircraft?

    I’ll choose say FL10 take off click ALT/AQU and VS with AP engaged then the aircraft starts to climb at 500 ft/min but I can’t get it to climb any quicker.

    On other aircraft you increase or decrease VS with a roller control but how do I do this on Concord ???

  • UK Photorealistic Scenery

    In FS 2022 the UK scenery was patchy. Some was very good but some was not so.

    In FS 2023 the scenery is more consistent but overall the quality is a disappointment.

    I don’t know if this is for a reason or to do with programming or device limitations as the Europe scenery is improved. UK as good as Sanfransisco or Switzerland would be amazing and I know scenery is expensive but this for me a slight step back !!😢🛩️

    IPad 8th Gen…

  • Paid For DLC

    How do I check my DLC because I can’t download Europe Airports 1 having paid for it.

    I’ve restored my purchases, clicked download but does not work.

    I’ve also purchased Europe Airports 4 but no improvement in scenery and in regions it still says download…

    Do I still have to pay for UK having paid for it in FS2022

    :/ ;(

  • Using PS4 DualShock Controller

    I know about the prop rotational torque and the pulling to the left on take off but this seems to happen once in the air all the time. Is this correct as it doesn’t happen when I fly with the accelerometer. Thanks for the reply 👍👍

  • Using PS4 DualShock Controller

    I have managed to connect the PS4 controller to my IPad. It is a different way to fly but still good fun.

    1. Is there any way to turn down the sensitivity as it’s very sensitive other than analog sensitivity in settings which is set to its minimum.

    2. Is there a control map or a way to assign the controls.

    3. When flying the C172 the aircraft always pulls to the left when flying in analog or PS4 controller. :/ :thumbup:

  • Graphics and More ….

    Hi and I would like to congratulate IPACS on the release of FS 2023.

    Yippee flight sim season !!!

    Is it just me but at some angles the aircraft look a bit soft compared with FS 2022, but the shiny side looks cool.

    We as user’s get asked for future update suggestions, which aircraft etc. There is one thing I’d like to see is the existing aircraft improved to the level of the A320 which is nothing short of amazing.

    I would like to see the B787/10 EFB improved and being able to hear the APU running from external views etc.

    As for the Blackhawk and the Concord things look very exciting ++++

    This is my first post in good while and I’m looking forward to where FS 2023 goes from here.!!

    P.S Can I use a PS4 DualShock with my IPad ???

  • Fuel management

    The interactive cockpit features in FS2022 is nothing short of amazing on a mobile device but the one thing that could add to even better realism is fuel management. Any chance any time soon...

  • Buggy Managed Speed Mode for A320

    When I start in cold and dark mode I can’t get the managed speed mode working for the A320. I have to leave the game, spawn back in on start engine mode or ready for taxi and then the manage speed mode works. The managed speed mode works

    okay for heading and altitude.


    Also does the step feature work on the CDU for the B787 as it does in the A320.

    We want: All users should always have the most expensive and powerful devices.

    I’ve been on Aerofly since 2015 and did some beta testing back then and I’ve bought all versions and it keeps getting better and I run on a basic 8th gen Ipad. I can’t afford a top of the range Ipad but I’m glad Aerofly continue to support lower end device’s.


    Keep up the good work..?? :thumbup: :thumbup:
