While many of us picture a future filled with AI-assisted aviation, it's important to remember that technology isn't perfect. For example, AI can't even pick out all the three 'r's in "strawberry!" So, do we really want it to take the helm in the cockpit? In the world of aviation, safety is the top priority for pilots, and human intuition is vital for handling those unexpected challenges. Relying solely on algorithms instead of skilled human expertise might lead to some serious problems, especially when it comes to flying. As we embrace advancements in technology, finding a harmonious partnership between human pilots and AI is key to keeping air travel safe and efficient.

The three R’s in Strawberry was overcome quite a while ago. I get your point though. However, AI is and has already flown pilotless planes. (Without passengers of course).

Quote from SkyX

AI is amazing, not complaining. But I think for a more realistic experience it's better to do it manually, as pilots do.

It’s only a matter of time. Soon it will be how real world pilots do it.

Quote from Truncana

In Italy, Valbrembo airfield has a large grass runway, not a concrete one like the one in Aerofly, please fix it.

🫡 Yes Sir!!

I just used GROK3 to create a flight plan for me. It was very accurate. It included SIDS and a STAR. I haven’t experimented with other AI’s but I’m sure that any AI that thinks (Research) can do it. Don’t forget to tell it what kind of plane your flying. I did also explain that it was for a flightsim. (I’m going to have to see if it will create a flight plan for a real world flight.

AI is amazing. I hope that Aerofly can implement it into the simulator as a co pilot. The possibilities are endless.

Here’s what Grok3 came up with. This is the summary at the end of its report.

‘Summary

A real-world flight plan for a Boeing 737 from Edinburgh (EGPH) to Southampton (EGHI) might involve:

• Departing via the TLA1E SID from Edinburgh.
• Cruising at FL330 along TLA UN864 CPT DCT MID DCT KEPAD.
• Arriving via the MID1A STAR to land on Runway 20 at Southampton.
• Cruising at Mach 0.78, with the route adjusted as needed for weather, ATC, and efficiency.

This is just one example—actual flight plans vary daily—but it reflects the structure and detail you’d see in real-world B737 operations. Let me know if you’d like a different route or more specifics!’

It’s a simulator. The more it simulates. The better a simulator it is. Everyone wants to experience ‘as real as it gets’ to quote another flight sim.

Another vote for PlayStation platform. Xbox has MSFS, no point going there, but there are not any real flight simulators in PlayStation, would love to have it in my PS5.

Especially in PSVR2.

Can we expect a major update in December, or is that a thing of the past now?

I would enjoy this. I sit in the passenger seat of the Learjet sometimes. I press co pilot and then just look out the window.

Trees are only available on more powerful devices.

Which devices? I have the latest iPad Pro. I don’t get trees.

Quote from Quichenic

Would it be possible to have the windows frame shown such as these pictures below it would make the view more realistic Jet-Pack (IPACS)

I agree. It’s one of the reasons why I like the Learjet. Sometimes, I really just want to escape as a passenger.

Quote from sherdil

you can still change planes during flight

I understand but I meant with a flight new plan.

Longest Flight [VHHH-CYYZ] 15H25M 7589 NM B77W how did you do this? 15hrs. That’s a long time. I once did an overnight flight. I went to bed, then carried on in the morning.

• The facility to save a flight would be very useful to me and probably to most of us who enjoy Aerofly. It would be especially useful for long haul flights, take a break, or to just change planes. Any chance?

Maybe it’s my age (60+) but I’m really not interested in multi player at all. I understand that multiplayer is a big thing to many.

Unfortunately, you cannot customise the controller.

He’s right. In all the military aircraft. I checked two) there is only a single cockpit view.

Aerofly is always full of surprises. I wonder what is under the hood.

Quote from aviation2023 BR

support for ipacs put physics in the water and put amphibious aircraft like the super petrell and the Icon a5

I’d like that with missions as well. I can hope.

I would like to see ai aircraft that taxi. I know it’s possible. However, It would take a lot of programming. I will not hold my breath. It’s just one of my hopes.

Personally, I’m not interested in multi player. I understand that there are those who do. I like the AI aircraft as I do enjoy seeing other aircraft whilst flying (although it’s rare to see another aircraft in flight. I don’t highlight them) what I would like is a view in which I could watch them take off and land. I would use it as a dynamic desktop on my tv.

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

On mobile we are usually limited by storage space and it could be that we can't include all airports in the base app. We may offer additional downloads in form of regions or additional airports like in Aerofly FS 2021. But it's not yet decided how this will be done.

I have a 128gig iPad I’ve only used 70gig so far. Most of what I’ve got on it I could actually remove. I’d be willing to download 40 gig of data. I want a desktop airline simulator which is portable. I would even buy an iPad solely for a flight sim.
