I'm curious about which Aircrafts models have Openable Doors such as A320 and B787 in this game Hope to hear from you soon
Most folks in here dont seem to care about GA but the Baron 58 is amazing and has openable doors

Recently I did the stunning VOR approach into Puerto Natales in Patagonia from Santiago. The procedure isn’t in aerofly, but if you find the chart it will give you everything you need. Raw data flying + stunning scenery = Perfection.
Ill try this out
-
Minneapolis, Denver, Phoenix, Las Vegas are some good ones, south mainly in Florida
Thanks man, so it looks like im not crazy then because thats just about all the airports i could find with parking spots.
I actually feel very lucky because they absolutely NAILED Arizona so all the airports and landscape there is very very accurate and almost every airfield and airport has parking. Im trying to cross country away from my home state and explore nee places but I have to cross the midwest first 😢 -
A lot of the airports in the south and midwest of the usa seem to be lacking and im wondering which ones would be good to travel to
-
- Get into a new aircraft once in a while and really try to get the details right.
- Try out good-old VOR / NDB procedures like holding, intercepting or really complicated approaches without the help of GPS. Really trying to master these requires a supringsing amount of sessions.
- Imagine a long-range trip in a small aircraft which requires multiple stops. (My favourite trip was in an Pitts S-2 from Hamburg, Germany to Mariehamn, Åland - without GPS or any other kind of navigational equipment.)
- I also had a mission generator for approach lessons and HEMS missions. The HEMS generator was quite thrilling.
To make matters more interesting I fly with current weather, date and time.
What is HEMS

Idk if this is with more than just the lear 45 but I was just using the lear 45 when I experienced this. If you set up a departure in the nav menu from say, sedona, or deer valley, and you take off, then set the autopilot to follow the fms, it won’t follow it. The plane seems to struggle to follow the course, and I’m not sure if its because the turns are too tight or what but the jet just starts turning forever in a circle and keeps climbing. Also when this happens you cant see the nav route on your HSI until after you take off for dome reason. This is sinilar to what happened when I told you the lear 45 wouldn’t follow my pilot defined waypoints.
-
What kind of commercial flights do lear 45s usually do IRL? I’m thinking of making a list of networks and routes to fly the lear 45 like as if it was a career thing.
-
What aircraft did you use and did you use the copilot menu interface or just the autopilot in the cockpit?
I dont like to use the copilot feature i was in the lear 45 using the panel
-
VNAV only takes you down to the selected altitude usually. Only after you pressed the approach button does the aircraft descent below the selected altitude in VNAV mode.
To make this distinction more obvious many other aircraft do not call both modes "VNAV". Airbus calls is DES and FINAL to make it clear that the selected altitude will be ignored now.
Should i turn the vnav button off when i press the approach button
-
the autopilot doesnt like to follow this route, it starts deviating like crazy, taking shortcuts, and when i took off from the airport the hsi didn't even show that i had a fms route until after i got closer to the first waypoint. This is a route i made through the nahanni valley and since canada in aerofly doesnt have many waypoints or airports with spawns, i had to designate my own waypoints so there were no default waypoints used. Does the lear fms just not like pilot defined waypoints?

I don’t really plan to play any other sims for awhile because my computer isn’t great, and I love having aerofly on the go on my switch. This game is so fun and realistic, but it doesnt have working radios, multiplayer, or any missions, so how do you guys keep the game interesting? How do you give yourself objectives to keep pushing for? So far I’ve been learning the learjet inside and out meanwhile I’m doing cross country flights to see places I want to visit in the future.
-
What aircraft has the most complete systems?
-
I just want to ask the devs if theres any chance us switch players will get a cursor in the future to interact with the cockpit while we play in docked mode with no touchscreen

To what ever the approach plate of the airport officially says... If you're not looking at that then you could use e.g. field elevation + 2000 or 3000ft again (rounded to next 1000ft or so). If it's mountainous then higher than the mountain tops around you.
So does this mean that the vnav descent takes you below your glideslope for final approach, and then pressing approach button transitions you over to the ils glideslope?
-
First you descent down to the altitude to intercept the final approach glide path, this is typically 2000 or 3000ft above field elevation. For this you select that altitude on the autopilot and then use VNAV, FLCH or VS.
Once you are close to the final approach segment you arm the approach. Once the approach is captured you can change the selected altitude.
And for this last part what would you change the selected altitude to?
-
Pressing the apr button will do nothing but show CAT 1 on the pfd if the runway also has an ils. The vnav works the same regardless if the apr button is pressed.
It is also an issue that on airbus pressing the appr button will make the aircraft attempt to fly the ils rather than final app, even if the ils hasn’t been tuned.
Thank you, this is just an issue in the game? This basically means dont press the APR button?
-
Switch the navigation source to FMS and then press the autopilot APR button to arm it. After intersecting the lateral and vertical profile the autopilot should follow the LNAV/VNAV approach path.
Tutorial for these kinds of autopilots (Learjet 45, King Air C90, Dash8-Q400...):
I thought the APR button is only like for final approach 10-15 miles before touchdown. Are you saying I need to press the APR and VNV button on the autopilot before i reach the top of descent at 31,000 feet? Or do i stay in nav until my final leg?
-
When selecting an approach in the navigation menu or in the FMS use one that is labeled "RNAV".
What do I need to do with the altitude setting on the autopilot panel? It seems like i need to set it to an altitude but I dont really understand what I should be doing so I set it to the runway altitude and disengage autopilot at 200 feet callout to finish landing. The autopilot doesnt disengage automatically before you land is that normal? It just sorta crashes the plane. I expected it to disengage at 200 feet
-
I don't think editing the VNAV profile in the UNS1 is implemented yet, I actually don't remember hehe...
The VNAV profile is therefore always going to be the default profile as defined by the arrival or approach and the aircraft can fly this as well.
Gonna shoot my shot at asking since you replied, is there any chance in the future that switch will feature a cursor we can aim at switches and knobs to use them so that i can play in docked mode
