    A fix would be very appreciable tho. The A319/20/21 are in my opinion the only aircraft with wrongly positioned cockpit windows and it is clearly visible. I use X plane as well and immediately my attention is drawn to these wrongly positioned windows after a session or two in the FF a320 or ToLiss a320. (I'm an A320 geek :))

    Everyone is talking about new planes, new planes AND new planes. To be fair, who needs new planes when you can't even enter waypoints that the Aerofly planner generates into the FMC of ANY AIRCRAFT! It lets you a couple, and then the next like 4 or smth it just says error or not in database. How and why? I cannot believe that the community is not talking about thees very big flaws that limit the realism of this sim. At this point, I have an impression that this is about to become like an arcade game. If the description on steam says that AF4 is for beginner, intermediate and advanced simmers, then, wouldn't it be better to satisfy at least the intermediate simmers and not just the beginners who absolutely DON'T CARE about the systems, and just care about sitting in a new plane once in a while... Sorry for the rant, just very frustrated with how things are going...

    Many switches in the real aircraft are kept in an On/Auto position. Only systems generally considered harmful such as hydraulic pumps or systems consuming a lot of power or are not designed to run on idle (fuel pumps) are usually switched off before shutting down the aircraft and these switches should also be off in the cold and dark configuration.

    If you know any switches that should be off as part of the standard operating checklist and flow for the aircraft please let us know.

    Thank you for the fast reply! Learned something new. :)

    To be honest I think IPACS should stop making new airplanes and start focusing on the realism and system depth. For example, the only aircraft which has implemented hydraulics is the A320. All other airplanes lack this feature, hence the ability to move the flight controls when the airplane is cold and dark. I think they should pay more attention to the A380 which is missing a lot in its FMC. Now these two things are just a few of many things lacking in their aircraft. I understand that these airplanes are all included in the sim and are really worth the price, but hopefully you get my point. Once again, I totally understand the fact that IPACS is a small team and that this simulator is a HUGE project and that it requires a lot of work and tweaking, but I am also under the impression that many aerofly users want to see VISUAL changes instead of those hidden, performance and system depth adaptations which doesn't help either.
