Hi, I was making some flight plans and I noticed that OTHH has buggy procedures, besides not having the real ones. I also had a bad experience at SBRJ, which is a very complicated approach and famous for being the Brazilian kai-tak. Congonhas (SBSP), Guarulhos (SBGR), the largest airport in Latin America, and Viracopos (SBKP) are also very outdated, having fixes that don't even exist on old charts.

Brother, this has already been discussed here on the forum. I don't know if everyone wants this, but I think most do. It's just that they won't implement it anytime soon because of the cost.

I created this route in SimBrief and the result for SID, AEROVIA, and STAR is this. Now, if you try searching in SimBrief, it's not there. There are some waypoints when going to another airport (like SBBR, SBGO, etc.), and also, I can't create the route like that in AFS Mobile; it's very difficult, hahaha.

All SIDs, STARs and approaches and waypoints are real, just from the past.

Yes, yes, I understand. They are indeed real, but don't you think we should update the procedures?

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

I've deleted off topic discussions about Navigraph and AIRAC update... Please stay on topic!

Our goal should be to improve the Aerofly FS route planning and make it faster and more realistic for every user, not just those that have a desktop PC and have SimBrief installed.

So what does SimBrief do for route generation specifically that you want to have in Aerofly FS?

Is it the enroute airways or better SID/STAR selection?

Or is it a better route summary?

Please defined what "more realism" means to you in this context, give us your personal priorities of what is currently missing in the route planner that you absolutely need and then continue with features that make it more convenient. You already mentioned weather specific routing, quick but realistic route creation, payload suggestions and fuel calculation.

SID, STAR and APP of real airports, airways, and real waypoints

Example

For a short flight from SBSP runway 17R to SBRJ runway 20L, we normally use the BAIAN 2A or BAIAN 3A SID.

After departing via the selected SID, the aircraft proceeds to the waypoint KEVUN. From there, it joins the arrival procedure for Santos Dumont Airport, which is the ASALU 1A STAR.

The flight then follows all the fixes associated with the STAR, and finally transitions to the instrument approach for runway 20L/02R. The approach most commonly used is the RNP W RWY 20L or the RNP Y RWY 20L.

It would be good to integrate with SimBrief or update the AIRAC simulator. The current one is very poor; it's impossible to do decent and realistic planning. For them, I think it would be unfeasible to do this, as they would have to spend a lot and make the simulator more expensive. But let's see what this year (2026) promises... I hope this planning is already written into their system.

The Azul Rosa (PR-YRS) livery needs to be added to the A320 neo.

Hello, airport developers and designers. I've been looking at the airports after the update of some Brazilian airports and I've noticed some things that haven't been fixed. Below I'll mention three that need more attention:

- Santos Dumont (SBRJ - SDU): the taxi lines are broken (on the side next to runway 02L) and it doesn't have blocks (orange and white)

- Aeroporto Inter. De Viracopos (SBKP - VCP): To the left of runway 15, It's not flat (it's higher).

- Aeroporto Eurico de Aguiar Salles (SBVT - VIX): The airport has 2 runways (06/24 - 02/20). Most landings are on runway 02/20. The simulator map says it's not activated and the numbering 06/24 is wrong; it's showing 05/23.

These airports need attention. Of course, I'm not saying they'll never receive an update. But I ask (if possible) that when the new simulator update is available, please try to fix them.

Hello, I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and I'm using it to simulate Aerofly. The simulator works normally at maximum quality and 90 resolution, but every time I try to activate the lights, the simulator becomes extremely slow. I'd like to know what settings I should use to activate the lights and prevent the simulator from slowing down as I mentioned.

We cannot simply use the basic Navigraph subscription for our company and re-distribute that data as our own, that would be illegal. Ergo, each user would need a subscription or we would need to purchase our own database or license one from a company like Navigraph. But this would likely cost tens of thousands of dollars if not hundreds of thousands and would drive up the cost for the app significantly.

And of our current user-base I estimate that less than 1-3% actually have a Navigraph subscription and about the same amount of users would have Simbrief or similar apps. Even if I assume it's 10% of the users, it would just be a fraction of the users and would not be a solution for the majority of users. Please don't underestimate the number of users who just play the app for fun and have never heard of SkyVector, Simbrief, Navigraph or know what AIRAC means. There are many users who don't even use the navigation at all and just fly around for fun.

Hi, let me tell you something. If I'm not mistaken, the Infinite Flight team uses third-party AIRACs.

Why don't you try contacting them and asking for information about these AIRACs? Ask about the cost, whether it would be feasible to add them to your simulator, etc.

Note: This is just my point of view.

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

Their business model is selling access to their data, does not necessarily mean we can purchase that nav data in it's entirety or that they are even allowed to sell it to us. Just like you can use Netflix or Disney+ streaming services but you can't buy their movies and then also send those to your friends.

I totally understand, but like this. You could be trying to contact the Infinite Flight team and try to partner with them about the navigation banks

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

When we find an affordable database then yes. You can create realistic routes using the Aerofly FS navigation menu...

Have you tried checking with the company SIMBRIEF AND NAVIGRAPH?

In some places. For example in Brazil, it is impossible to create these realistic routes (if possible, it would take a long time to create)

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

External programs use a different navigation database which is why some navigation waypoints are not in Aerofly FS.

But do you intend to update the Aerofly database? Because it is impossible to create a decent route

Hello, I recently migrated to iOS and I have the simulator purchased on Android and also the three-month global package. Would it be possible for me to transfer the simulator to my iPhone without paying?

Quote from FlyWorld

For updated Airac suits it is necessary to integrate Navigraph support into the simulator but the developers refuse to bring this feature. This subject has already been widely discussed in other topics but the position of the developers regarding Navigraph is always the same, that is, they do not want to implement it.

I understand. That's the issue, we pay for a product, not to have the updated airac, but we still have to have an idea of how to plan a route like now with the updated airac.

The only things I wanted to see in this beautiful simulator is the 737-800 NG and the updated airac

Then please turn limit frame rate back on to reduce power consumption

Thanks!

How much did your phone cost? How much RAM does it have? Some phones, new or old, will do better than others.

Good. It cost 2000 (converted to reais), it has 6 GB of RAM.

Quote from Captain Boeing

I think your phone battery is the problem

But how is the battery having a problem? My phone is new, it's only been used for a few months.

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

Please check if limit frame rate is checked ON in the graphics settings.

It wasn't activated, I activated it now

Hello developers, here is a suggestion for improvement for aerofly Global on both platforms:

- the simulator is demanding a lot of battery usage

- improve the pushback control (it is almost impossible to use it to make turns to align the aircraft in taxi

NOTE: When I said that the simulator is demanding a lot of battery, I speak for myself.

Example: my cell phone is at 100% battery, after 10 minutes playing in the simulator, my cell phone is already at half battery, that is, 50% battery. My cell phone is new, it is not even 2 months old and has 5000 amps.
