I’ve always had a keen interest in the aircraft development process.

I remember hearing that, in the past, new aircraft were often developed starting with the largest variant first - for example, the A350-1000 rather than the -900, or the 777-300ER rather than the -200.

My question is: how long does this kind of redesign development usually take? For instance, how long did it take to transition from the 787-10 to the 787-9? And which part of the process tends to take the longest, or be the most difficult?

But remember - if we get the A340 it will be the longest version (A340-600). In your screenshots there are all kinds of versions.

I wouldn't mind. I even have this plane tattooed on my shoulder

It could then be used as a reference to a possible A330, too (imo)

Good catch with the airport. Ipacs announced Addis Ababa and Doha to be updated

It seems the cabin is being viewed in two different ways, and that’s perfectly fair - everyone has their own personal tier list of what matters most in Aerofly.

But at the end of the day, what truly counts is that the developers are adding new features that steadily push the sim closer to real-world fidelity. The number of updates we’ve received just this December alone is impressive for all players. And the new weight & balance component is a massive step forward by itself.

Other features will come in time - I’m absolutely sure of that. And let’s not forget: December still has one more topic open. Let’s give that our focus.

Huge kudos to Jan and the entire team for the sheer amount of work they’ve put in. Each update leaves us even more eager to dive back in and explore Aerofly Global in greater depth.

Will we be able to walk through the cabin then? It is going to be so interesting to see how to experience this

Am I the only one who keeps seeing Ground Service pop up in the screenshots? Jan was oddly specific about what it would take to release it. See the screenshot below:

At quite some. The last ones:

- Munich 08L

London Heathrow 09L and 09R

Tromso 19

Whenever I take off with the A321 or A350 I get a „50“ radio call-out from GPWS. In all other Airbusses this is not the case.

Could you please have a look into that? Happened at all airports I took off from. Playing on an iPad Pro M4

Addition - when landing ILS 27L/R EGLL, the localizer always hits off going to heading 093. when immediately pressing APPR, it continues to fly to „correct“ heading (only on A350, any STAR)

Hey all, just wanted to report some things I noticed during my vacation, where I was able to get heavily involved with the game:

- Upon crossing the date line, the autopilot had troubles getting back on track on A350, B777 and B787. I was able to geht back after reaching the first waypoint (W-5802).

- During Autoland, the B787 does not display Land3 (the B777 does it). Moreover, in an Airbus everytime I spool down the engines, I get an short yet effective boost (due to airbus athr logic), which results in long flares and hard landings. Could there be an option to making inputs on the throttle less sensitive?

- Probably not so high on priority- but the B787 has no APU sounds.

Sorry, if I repeat anything that might already have been mentioned!

Many thanks for this great sim - loving it more and more

Edit: Note that I am playing with a Controller

Wow. THIS was impressive! Since a car accident, where one of these beauties took me to a hospital I am trying to master it - and failing hahaha

Is there any plan to extending it to mobile?

I know, there is a dedicated forum for mobile, but still, I am kinda curious

I think is hard to manipulate when having a controller. But nontheless, maybe sth. to be implemented in the future

Is there a way to implement trimming whilst playing on controller? Maybe using combination of buttons (e.g. R1+up/down).

This is just an idea.

Many thanks

Edit: typo

Totally get you. Thought it was more just „increasing“ the sounds - which sounds rather „easy“

Yeah, for sure. But on the other hand pilots keep saying the airplane is quite a loud one on the ground (plus - once the gear is out, it is also quite noisy)

Ah understand. This is Munich airport. If you check all of riivas Videos, the A350 is quite „loud“:

Hey there - one thing I noticed are the cool sounds during taxi in the A350. However, those are only bearable with Packs Off. Is it possible to increase their volume, as the real A350 is quite loud? I have just posted a video - please refer to 09:55 onwards

I think it was from an IPACS company video where on the table with various aircraft there were also a few models of ground service vehicles 🤔 I think Jan introduced the sacred domain of IPACS. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, exactly! Right from the beginning of the video on:
