You have not selected STD on the ISIS display, the small artificial horizon next to the ECAM.

To clarify: VNAV PTH was supposed to guide the plane down on the computed glide path, similar to FINAL APP in the Airbus.

I attempted a VOR approach into NZAA in the 777 today:

1. The ILS was automatically tuned, and I couldn’t deselect it.

2. There doesn’t seem to be a VNAV approach logic: on final approach it attempted to dive down and level off rather than continuously descend, which funny enough was the old way of doing it.

I was rather surprised by this, as I did the same in the 737 into PSP everything worked pretty perfectly (apart from the incorrect VNAV ALT capture of the platform altitude).

Wow thanks

I've been using the Airmate app for a long time. It's really great, and all for free.💰

Am I right in saying that only US and Europe charts work? For me I have never been able to download charts in Australia for example.

Hi, I’ve noticed that on GA aircraft, such as the Cessna or Baron, it is impossible to tune decimal NDB frequencies.

This was all raw data: Bolzano has no procedures in Aerofly.

I use Airmate (it’s free) to find charts for airports like this.

I was doing a DME arc departure out of Bolzano, raw data.

I was trying a new method: entering the arc at a 95 degree angle, rather than 100. This worked very well.

How do you guys enter your DME arcs? A 95 degree angle seems to be geometrically correct, but many instructors teach a 100(/80) or even 90 degree entry.

Hi, I don’t remember what it was like before the update but the engine sounds of the A380 are basically nonexistent, even during takeoff.
Also the sounds on each wing-view are all basically the same.

Hi, In the baron, half of the 1-9 digits are completely obscured when in shadow. I also can’t seem to be able to tune decimal ADF frequencies by pushing the power button.

Hi, I’ve noticed that since the update, exterior lights are not illuminating the aircraft in daylight (beacon, land, etc).

If this was done intentionally, perhaps you could make this an option in settings?

Hi,

The A350 apparently has FLS. However, when I was flying the VOR 32R into Toulouse, the plane just tuned the ILS.

Yes, after takeoff, when the spoilers no longer need to be armed, the pilots disarms them. In aerofly it seems to be automatic.

The spoilers are disarmed manually by the pilot; the autobrake disarms automatically.

Hi,

On airbus, the spoilers disarm automatically after takeoff, even when no flight assistance is enabled.

Direct to a waypoint

It would be cool to see a DIR TO feature, particularly with the radial/crs in function. This would make vectoring ourselves for an ILS or NP approach much more realistic.

Hi IPACs,

In your tutorials you say that if the plane levels off at an altitude other than the crz alt then the fma will display VNAV ALT. However, I’m pretty sure that it should show VNAV ALT whenever there is a conflict between the computed path and the MCP altitude. So if there is a restriction below 8000ft and 8000 is set in the MCP then FMA should display VNAV PTH and go into VNAV ALT once the restriction is passed; in aerofly it immediately goes to VNAV ALT.

There also seems to be a bug that ALT HOLD will engage if I reset the MCP altitude while the plane is in VNAV ALT, but the VNAV button is still illuminated.
