    The cockpit canopy of your Spitfire looks strange, I mean the bulge at the top. I've just seen a few photos on Google and it looks different. Maybe it's just an optical thing.Otherwise it is a nice plane 👍

    I would like to know too. Considering only a few airports still have all taxi lights (Denver, Miami, Tenerife), it seems more like an accidental removal rather than performance optimization?

    I wouldn't say there are a few airports with T-lights, but large hubs should have this lighting. But don't remove it from the small ones 😂

    I’m not gonna argue with you anymore. This seems to be affecting you more than me. You keep coming on back instead of leaving like a mature and normal human.

    This has nothing to do with maturity or normality. I just can't stand it when someone talks stupid stuff. You think you don't need to learn anything but you want to be a pilot. You're making yourself into a joke figure.You seriously believe that they will let you sit in a modern airplane cockpit from the beginning without knowing how to fly analogue first, that's called naive 🖖

    Do you know I’m talking about the 737-500? It doesn’t seem like you do. You have to look at the FMC to get the heading, then set it up in the autopilot. It distracts you from flying, (especially during landing) which makes it a lot easier to crash. Also, can we get back on topic? I don’t wanna spend my time arguing with you because we disagree on something. This is about the MD-11, not me wanting to be a pilot, or the 737-500s lack of a gps.

    Nonsense You have no idea, there is no point in talking to you any further 🖖

    Hey @JetPacs (iPacs),

    I created a new thread for future Planes. If You are thinking about creating an Airbus A220-300,


    Here is the engine sound.

    Here we go, nobody knows what kind of plane is coming next. Just find a good neurologist and take your medication regularly 🤦

    I don’t find it difficult to fly, but annoying to fly. You have to look at the FMC constantly to make sure you have the correct heading. My point about the MD-11 is that it’s not so new so that it’s modern, but newer than “Retro” planes with its GPS. Which is another reason why I want the MD-11. It’s unique, something different. In aerofly there’s no in between of modern and “old” technology. The MD-11 is still retro, but more of a modern retro plane.

    You don't have to constantly look at the FMC. There are enough cockpit instruments and heading indicators.Have you ever heard of instrument flight procedures? The autopilot does the rest. And you want to become a real pilot? Sorry 😂🤦

    Optimization means making sure all devices can run Aerofly FS without crashing first and foremost. We'd rather have a functioning sim with slightly reduced features on select devices instead of one that does not work at all.

    OK, that's understandable. Do I understand correctly that the missing taxi lights are connected to this? Or is there another reason for this? For me as a Red Magic owner, that's unfortunate.

    EDDF had taxi lights in Aerofly FS 2024 but they were removed in FS Global.

    I still don’t understand why so many airports lost taxiway lights (green) or edge lights (blue) or lost both entirely.

    Maybe this is what the developers mean by "system optimization" - removing things. We never really got an answer to that question. That says it all.

    I am currently trying to master ILS approaches in the Cessna 172 at the Santa Barbara munipal airport. I have made sure that I have activated the 110.3 ILS frequency n the NAV1 radio. From reading the Aerofly web pages it seems that the autopilot should be able to fly the Cessna down to about 200 feet above the runway, but I have never been able to capture the glide slope and descend to near the runway. I can capture the localizer and proceed on course to the runway, but I can never get the Cessna 172 to capture the GS and descend. My plane just fails to descend even when I push approach on the NAV1 radio. The GS is never captured and I never descend. Do you have any idea why the GS is not being captured. I do realize that close to the runway I have to manually land the Cessna 172. Thank you for your help. Tom

    You have to cut the GS path from below. If there is no error, it should actually work. Press the app button. I haven't done it with the Cessna for a long time.

    Hey guys,

    what do you think about adding a Lockheed Constellation, Super Constellation or SuperStar to the fleet? It would be a legendary addition to the Concorde and the Ju-52 :)

    I´d love to see a connie some day in this sim...

    Best regards

    David

    That would probably be the same problem as with the Concorde because it is a three-man cockpit and the cockpit functions would only work partially. Otherwise a beautiful aircraft.

    Sorry if this thread had negative impact on this forum. My knowledge about taildragger aircrafts has become more profound and I actually landed the Pitts without any ground loop(no assistance on). Thank you for your help and constructive feedback. I'm thinking about deleting this thread. May I?

    I wouldn't delete it, at least it's a useful thread. Some planes are very special. But that's exactly what makes this simulator so appealing 👍🖖
