  • Reflection Bug

    After the bug fix update I opened the game and guess what, another bug. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I don’t know what’s happening at this point.

    Every-time you want to start from a big airport such Geneva, Heathrow, Zurich etc. This reflection on the windows and control panel appears. Only in A320 family so far I saw.

    Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max, 12GB RAM.

  • A20N Feedback and Improvements

    Guys you can’t have everything. The developers have to make everything in limits for it to work on phone’s, low end and high end and they’re doing a great job. If you compare any simulator on the app store or play store Aerofly is basically the best. You can’t throw a dice and expect it to land on six every time. In time they will optimize everything just have patience and enjoy the simulator. If you’re not satisfied and keep complaining I would recommend you to switch to something that fits you better🙂

    I wasn’t demanding to be done now or in the next day. No one was rushing anyone to do something, like a few users that was in the same idea with me, it’s just a feedback for improvements. In my post there’s three times mentioned “Hopefully this will be fixed soon” which doesn’t sound like a demand to me. My post reason was to show IPACS what can be done, if they want to take it into consideration that’s perfect, if not, same thing it’s completely fine. No one is telling anyone what to do, and making a whole argument and disagreements was the last thing I wanted to happen. 😆 I bet even IPACS laughs at us. 😆

    Go fly the neo in RFS.. maybe that will satisfy you. Some of us are just impossible to please. 😒


    Okay, my intention was not to create any controversy or to point fingers at the development team. I didn’t say anywhere that I don’t appreciate or that I’m not satisfied with the new aircraft that was added. We all have the right to our own personal opinion and to leave feedback, especially as paying customers. No one received this product for free.
    My point was that I would like to see this aircraft with more details because I know what IPACS is capable of. The A350 is proof of that. It’s an excellent and fully detailed aircraft. And since I know they are capable of achieving that level of quality, of course I’m leaving my opinion and feedback here, because I believe it’s for their own benefit. This way, they’ll attract many more players and the game can become one of the most popular on mobile.

    I’m sorry if you felt attacked, or if anyone felt attacked, that was not my intention. 🙂 And regarding RFS, let’s not bring other games into this forum. I would kindly ask you to refrain from suggesting what I should play or where I should go. I did not ask for that in this thread. 🙂 Thank you.

    The cockpit windows have this strange grey reflection that looks completely unrealistic, and it really breaks the immersion. It doesn’t even look like a proper NEO. Hopefully this bug will be fixed.

    Regarding the PTU sounds, it was mentioned that they were updated and should be more realistic, but when playing, it’s exactly the same sound as on the other A320 versions. Apart from the engine sound, which also isn’t very accurate, there’s this continuous “whistling-like” noise when the engines are at idle which is not realistic at all.

    Regarding the whale sound, yes, the actual sound sample is realistic, but there’s an issue with it. It starts sounding every single time when the engines reach those parameters (e.g. 300–400), no matter if the thrust is increasing or decreasing the power, if the thrust is in those parameters during descent you can hear it the whole time. In reality, this sound is only occur when the thrust is increasing. I hope this makes sense. These small details are what really make the difference.


    As for the lights, the issue is already known and hopefully will be fixed soon, and I would also be happy to see that finally in the a320 the beacon light is flashing the top part of the wing and winglet as well like in real life. What’s also missing are the fuel pumps which I like to call the “signature sound of an a320” and the electric pump is not realistic at all, it doesn’t match real-life sound in any way.


    I really hope the A20N gets proper improvements, with accurate sounds, lights, and detailed systems. It would be a shame to add a new aircraft just for the sake of “adding it”, because right now that’s exactly how it feels, like something rushed just to be included. Don’t take it as a complain, it’s just a friendly feedback.

    Thanks for reading. 🙂

    The lights are a feature, not a bug?

    There is chances to see on the next update fuel pumps sounds on the A20N? Also when you press the external power button, the A320 family including Neo’s has a very specific sound that is currently missing in Aerofly. I was hoping to see it added in the new update, and it’s a bit frustrating to see this implemented on the A350 but not on the A320’s. It will be added in the next update?

    Guys, before you start complaining about missing liveries on aircraft, I think you should focus more on the basic things.

    I’m really happy that IPACS added the A320neo to the sim and I had high hopes that it would be a very detailed aircraft. I recently watched a YouTube video of the A32N and I was a bit disappointed to see that some basic aircraft details are still missing. I’m referring mainly to the fuel pumps, which make a huge difference between the A320neo and CEO family, as well as the ambient sounds.

    When you press the external power button, the A320 family has a very specific sound that is currently missing in Aerofly. I was hoping to see it added in the new update, and it’s a bit frustrating to see this implemented on the A350 but not on the A320, especially since we know it can be done. Hopefully, it will be added in a future update.

    When you retract the gear, it would be great to hear that specific whistling sound and the noises produced by the landing gear, again just like on the A350. As for the PTU sound, in the CEO version it doesn’t sound realistic at all, and I really hope it now sounds more realistic, as I haven’t had the chance to hear it yet, but I did see on the forum that it was updated.

    Last but not least, it would be nice to also hear those “bangs” or knocks from the nose wheels during takeoff, when they pass over the runway lights, just like in real life.

    Overall, IPACS has done an excellent job, but let’s highlight the important things rather than minor details like liveries for the future updates. No one will die or uninstall the game because two livery are missing.

    77W heavy, high speed approved.

    I don’t get it😭😭😭

    Update*

    So after trying to figure out what’s supposed to be here, and burning my brain. I think what IPACS is trying to show us is that the speeds limits are changed. UP at 260, the aircraft is going to stall below 220 and the landing configuration is set to 171knots which means the aircraft weight and balance was changed. WHICH MEANS WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

    Guys I hope I’m not wrong, if I am, sorry 🥹

  • Feature wishlist for the future

    Hello IPACS TEAM

    Alright, now that our long-awaited Airbus A350 is finally here and everyone’s super excited, let’s take a quick step back down to earth — even though we love being up in the air (haha, get the joke?😆)

    So, about this aircraft — I was completely blown away. What you managed to achieve for a mobile simulator is absolutely incredible. I’m speechless. I truly respect and appreciate your work. You’ve proven to all the other mobile flight sims out there that yes, it is possible — not just on PC.

    I know you have a lot of features you’re working hard to implement, and I understand you’re not a huge team, which explains the long wait. But please, from the bottom of my heart, I’m asking you to add the ability to control aircraft weight — like letting us set the amount of fuel, number of passengers, and so on. Also, live weather and the option to start from any gate at the airport would be amazing. These are crucial features that would make a big difference to the game.

    Also, there’s still an issue with the Airbus A319 — when you set the thrust to TOGA, the sound doesn’t play at full power, only halfway. And the whole A320 family and Airbus aircraft in general need some sound updates, please. To make it more realistic, you could add that specific sound effect when external power is turned on — the one that’s typical of the A320 — and the fan spooling sounds. Fuel pump sounds would be great too, and it would be perfect if you could also add the cargo door sound. The PTU sound could use a bit of an update too — it’s not the most accurate at the moment. I know it’s a lot, but these are small details that make a huge difference. I can even give you an idea — maybe add these improvements when you start working on the A320NEO Family (haha, got that one too?😂)

    And last but not least — ground services. Yes, everyone is excited about new aircraft, but let’s also start adding the basic stuff we actually need. You don’t have to add people or animations (although that would be super cool, not gonna lie), but at least a couple of stairs, a fuel truck, a catering truck, and a cargo belt — that would do the job. Because there’s no point in opening the cargo or cabin doors if we can’t attach anything to them.

    Thank you so much for all your hard work, and please take my suggestions into consideration. Smooth flights!

  • Weight and Balance of the Aircraft

    Hello IPACS Team

    This simulator is by far one of the best on the market—nothing to criticize, everything is top-notch: lights, graphics, textures, and aircraft details. (Though it would be perfect if we had the fuel pump sounds for the A320 family, but that’s another story.)

    In my opinion, a crucial feature that we really need in this game is the ability to configure fuel levels, cargo weight, passengers weight, and so on. These factors matter a lot and make a huge difference, especially during long flights, landings, and other critical phases.

    It would be fantastic if you could take this into consideration, and I look forward to your response.


    Thank you!

    The lights here look so fake and unreal! I hope it doesn't become RFS.
    I want to maintain the original, can we introduce a setting option.

    Fake and unreal? 🤔 Did u ever had a flight in your real life? 🤔 And don’t start to say “it’s a neo” cause neo and ceo has the same strobes lights flash rate.

  • A320 series CFM sound

    Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

    We can't just use a sound recording and play that in the sim. To get a decent sound you need to extract the sound sources and modulate them correctly. Otherwise you just end up with the same issues like that sim you used 12 years ago where the sound suddenly cuts into a different section and has almost no modulation other than playing it faster.

    The 737 NG sound was an experiment for me to see what can be possible. It took a month of work though if not more.

    Doing that now for the A320 family (A319, A320 and A321) would delay the ongoing development of the A350.

    *offtopic* There’s any chances to see in the future A320/321 Neo?
