    Not every post I add here is a question about a bug fix, but, I just wanted to say its such a joy to do the LGA R31 ‘Expressway’ visual and the JFK 13L Canarsie approach now with the high res scenery that the devs have implemented over the last few months.

    Earlier I remember barely being able to make out from the 2D mapping but its such a joy. That’s all. Nothing more. Just an appreciation of how in a little less than a year, this simulator has taken such a leap forward. Even as recently as December 2023 we had no such 3D elements and then boom! A huge leap with this.

    Great stuff dev team!

    First up, this is so exciting! And either way, I’m thrilled for what it is.

    But guesses?

    Well, easy. It’s the A350. The way the photo is cropped just below the ‘panda’ eyes makes me believe its the A350 over the E-series. Looked at a bunch of photos online to gauge and see and I’m really inclined to go A350.

    Even if I’m wrong, I’m still so excited!

    Great stuff Jet-Pack (IPACS)


    Wink back if I’m on the right path in my guesses ;)

    Hi there, this is regarding a flight plan on the A320 which is by far the most comprehensive of all the models. Just a quick question.

    My issue:

    When programming a flight from KSFO to KJFK which is around 5-6 hours block time. I've noticed that beyond the SIDs and STARs, I am unable to enter more waypoints in between and have to resort to the navigation page to manually insert them.

    Just wanted to confirm if this is a limitation where waypoints beyond a certain distance aren't possible to program directly into the MCDU? Since I can easily program in waypoints on say a flight from Heathrow to Frankfurt which has a blocktime of less than 90 minutes.

    Thanks in advance

    Hey guys, maybe first let’s give some love to some Airbus big twins first please? You guys already have a 77W to play with. Plus the 777X doesn’t take flight commercially until 2025 at the earliest.

    Boeing has so much love in this game already: 777-300ER, 747-400, 737 Classic, 787-10, 737-900ER, soon to be the 737 Max

    Airbus: A320ceo, A380

    It would be really sad if we got a 777X model before say an A350 or even an A330 especially when these are already in active service.

    Hi Jet-Pack (IPACS)

    Hong Kong Airport is in dire need of some work. The main airport building is completely missing and this is with an M2 iPad Pro. Checked my internet connection to see if this was an issue from my end and it turns out that the building is indeed missing. The outline is there, but, the building is lacking.

    But the bigger issue is that making an ILS approach into Hong Kong is currently impossible thanks to two huge solid antenna towers that stick out right in front of 25L or even 07R.

    Please look into this. I know you likely have a lot on your plate, but, please have a look. Some of your major airports are modeled quite well but I felt some East Asian airports need work. Thank you

    The only problem is that the version before the update was much more usable. We've updated, we've had a blast. We received a promise that the errors would be corrected.

    Nothing has happened since then, they simply don't answer our questions. Although this can also be considered an answer. :(

    Totally agree. How I regret updating back in August. It really is a disservice when each update makes the game ‘worse’ in the basic sense. And the sad part is that on iOS you can’t revert to an older build so you’re stuck.

    Give us some time to look into this. What device are you using?

    It’s an M2 iPad Pro but I have found the issue to be the same on other iOS devices too.

    Imagine using the sidestick and you hold it in one position, but, suddenly that sidestick just automatically goes to the neutral position. That is the issue.

    Previously this wasn’t an issue prior to the August update.

    Analog auto-centering is not the solution as suggested. Kindly look into it please as it takes away from a healthy flying experience

    This will fall on deaf years by the devs but I cannot fathom why there’s been no update to a bug which Aerofly brought themselves.

    Im sure the community is aware by now but after the August update, using analog, the controls automatically slide back to the ‘neutral’ position. The workaround is to keep jostling with the slider until it registers but it is so hit and miss that most of the time, I cannot flare correctly now.

    This also applies to the throttle/brake slider on the left of the screen which requires you to push to slide gently up to 30% power before coming down to braking. Otherwise you get an Extreme braking. Deploying thrust reversers as a result is so painful to do now.

    Why why why is this still not fixed?! It really made me regret updating back in August to the latest update because it’s always the same…one step forward, two steps back.
