3/4 flights for week (intercontinental flights like SBGR>EDDF | VHHH>PANC or for exemple my photo flight going OTHH>FIMP… 7/12h for flight)

Quote from GeorgHoechner

Personally, I think there are already enough large airliners available. It would be great to fly a TBM 980 from my home base to Mallorca, or a PC-12 to St. Barts—just something small and fast with good avionics so I can fly off on vacation in an hour or two. I’d also really love to see a Cessna Caravan.

Oh yeah, I really think aircraft like that are cool too; I’d love to fly a PC-12, C208B, or G650ER. However, the problem with these planes—first of all—is the size of the potential audience; the interest is always lower than for commercial airliners, which is why you see simulators focusing more on commercial jets (and sometimes military ones). Another issue is the internal systems, like the G1000. Implementing that in Aerofly alongside the aircraft itself (like the C208B, since it uses the G1000) would likely take longer than the A350; building the Garmin 1000 from scratch would be a time-consuming task 🫤😔

The direct to function has nothing to do with this. This is a sequence of legs, just like what we already have. And the Concorde that has this system already can follow the route that you give it, it's just the interface in the virtual cockpit that is not implemented yet. If we decide to improve the Concorde aircraft system at some point then this will be on the wish list.

I'd have to check if the MB339 has the FMS following implemented yet but it doesn't even have an autopilot in the real world, just a flight director so it's a bit pointless anyway.

I know this Concorde update isn't coming anytime soon, but it would be legendary.…

The Delco Carousel IV-A (CIVA) is an inertial navigation system (INS) developed by Delco Electronics and introduced in the 1970s. It automated oceanic routing by calculating the aircraft's position and velocity using gyroscopes and accelerometers, enabling precise navigation without relying on ground-based radio stations. (B737-500/Concorde/MB-339)

I think that if the game adds a "Direct To" function for the FMCs, that would get us 70% of the way to having CIVA functionality; the coordinates and the system modeling are already there—it even shows wind direction and so on. From the looks of it, it would just be a matter of configuring the buttons and the systems, I suppose. It would be great, too, since it would be useful for FMCs/MCDUs as well. (F15/F18/MB339/Airbus family/Boeing family and concorde use this type system using coordinates, others like B727 too for exp)

Quote from Gravitational lensing

The A350 is simply a very popular aircraft. Does me paying attention to details have anything to do with you not getting the aircraft you wanted?

No... I’m speaking in general terms, not about a specific aircraft I want—it doesn't really matter, since I’d find any aircraft cool, whether military (jets, cargo planes, bombers, electronic warfare) or executive. I’d be happy with any of them. My point is just that it’s a waste of skills to get stuck on something like the A320 or A350 family instead of enjoying general aviation.

Quote from Gravitational lensing

Yeah, that’s great news

generally speaking Is very sad, It’s a game with a unique strength for mobile—a functional cockpit—yet that potential is squandered on trivialities. This generation seems stuck on the A350, B787, A320neo, B777, and so on—and nothing else! They overlook the true magic of commercial aviation found in legendary aircraft like the B707, MD11, L1011, A340, B727, A300, DC-3, B767, DH106, VC-10, B757, DC-6, and dozens of others I haven't even mentioned.

Quote from Momes

We need an A330-300 or A350-900 rather than the 747-8/A340. Both aircraft are unique and cool in their own right, yet with an A330 or A359 you can fly more realistic destinations. Each month we are losing more and more routes that used to be operated by the A340/B747. That’s why I would like to see an A330-300 or A350-900 before any other aircraft.

I understand your point, however I'm citing aircraft that were very popular, obviously we have others like (A220/E195 B767/757, B727 etc) but the A330 is already confirmed it won't have any progress at the moment... A350-900, man, just adding repeated things to a game is so boring, we want something new and different for the simulator.

Hi community, I was really hyped about the B747-8F, but I also think the A340-600 is cool, I know both is hyped in this commnity, that’s why I make this thread… (opinions)

(In my opnion both are important, A340 It was forgotten and had the misfortune of arriving in the twin-engine era… and B747-8 We're talking about the cabin of an iconic airplane (the queen).

Quote from Soze

Hello, I had a question for the community: how do you create your flight plans on mobile?

In the cockpit I use the FMC a little bit (for make route) because after a certain distance FMC is useless, but for make flight plan I use simbrief

Thanks, I managed to get it working 🙂 GW and GWCG are adjusting automatically. just need to hook up the right and center tank.

Jesus, this is incredible! I wish it worked on the aircraft in the game... one day it will happen.

Quote from Armitage

• 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.

Old aircraft without GPS, NDB/VOR procedures? The world needs more people like that 🤝

Hi, I'm going crazy trying to download Kai Tak (VHHX) now that I have an Android operating system. I'll be comparing the global map soon. Could you tell me if this map is compatible with today's Aerofly on mobile phones?

If I use that 2023 link, will it work, or do I have to look for another one?

Quote from FlyWorld

In RNAV approaches, the Boeing 737-800 automatically creates a glide path on the PFD, very similar to an ILS. This indication remains on the PFD for almost the entire flight when VNAV and LNAV modes are activated. As you approach the destination airport, this glide path indication remains on the PFD and will initiate an automatic descent as you approach this path. Once you reach the minimum FAF altitude, observe the descending glide path indicator, and before reaching the final waypoint, engage the autopilot's approach mode (APP). The aircraft will then initiate an automatic descent upon reaching the glide path created by the activated VNAV and LNAV modes. It is mandatory that both VNAV and LNAV modes are activated, as they together create this descent path, allowing the approach mode to automatically descend the aircraft to the decision altitude where you can disengage the autopilot and perform a visual and manual landing.

Hi, the problem I noticed is that you said you click on the app, but that's for ILS operations, not Rnav/Rnp. When you do it correctly, using only Vnav/Lnav and capturing the glide slope, you enter the missed approach altitude. However, when you do this on a B737, it starts a climb, even though in real life the altitude is selected but doesn't actually climb to it, unlike on Airbuses where the altitude remains white and isn't used.

Quote from 777Driver

I had this with A350 but couldn't reproduce it, exact same thing, descending below the FAF, set missed approach, aircraft should follow the VNAV path, but it wanted to climb to the missed approach altitude.

It's been a long time since I've flown a Boeing in the sim, but on the Airbus, the PFD alt window turns grey, which tells you its ok to set the missed approach altitude.

• I put the RNAV approach on the PFD, arrive a little before the FAF altitude with landing configuration (make sure the Flight Director is active!)

• Then check if V/DEV is active on the PFD and that you are neither too high nor too low (like ILS)

• Then set the minimum altitude for the aircraft to begin the descent, click APPR on the AP panel, and after a certain altitude below, set the missed approach altitude.

And make your butter landing!

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

Did you use vnav or the approach mode?

Approach mode is only for Airbus no? In Boeing i use the Vnav in Rnav operations

Hi, I was making an approach (B737-800) following the guidance correctly, I was at the FAF fix altitude, then I set the minimum altitude and followed the VNAV path/LNAV etc. However, when I was descending and tried to set the missed approach altitude, the aircraft strangely canceled the decision completely, even though it was supposed to continue the VNAV path. Did I do something wrong?

I've been playing this game for a while, but I'm only now asking this: is it normal for the FMC/MCDU route limitation to be approximately 900nm? I wanted to do the entire route only in FMC/MCDU.

Hello IPACS Devs.

i was about to insert the Airways and the Waypoints but i realized that i couldnt insert them

am i doing something wrong or is this still not implemented in the game?

Unfortunately our beloved airways haven't been added to the game yet.

Hello…

I was studying the complex fuel systems of the B747 when I realized that the fuel feed 2/3 should be automatically cut off with the operation of the flaps, I think!!

See 👇

The frequency selector for NDB is very sensitive depending on the region, if you move it even a little, it activates one or maybe two frequencies, depending on the region. In that case, I was using a frequency of 316.0 (EPM) it was difficult to find, but I found it!! (RMI have 2 modes for 2 radios: Vor 1/2 and Ndb has 1 Only)
