Quick update for anyone following this thread.

Since the original post I have shipped quite a bit on the Aerofly FS 4 integration side specifically.

The desktop app is now available for Windows and Mac. Windows users get a standard .exe installer, Mac users get a .zip bundle. It loads the full simulator in a native window so there is no need to keep a browser tab open. Downloads are on the landing page and inside the sidebar once you sign in.

The bigger news for FS4 users is that live flight tracking is now working. The app connects via ForeFlight UDP on port 49002 and FSWidget TCP on port 58585. Once it is connected you will see a green status indicator on the Dispatch page showing your flight state. When you land, your accepted route auto-completes and logs automatically, and you get a toast notification saying the flight has been recorded. Your live position also streams to the traffic map so other players can see you airborne in real time.

Setup instructions are on the Dispatch page inside the app with a step-by-step guide specific to Aerofly FS 4.

Still free to try at aviatorledger.com. Happy to answer any questions about the setup here.

Performance tuning - flight route in a flight sim will reward you

Quote from a350_raccoon

I went online cause I didn't know where to go from there and it shown this

Start a career first and then you'll see the download button.

That's where you download it. Except PWAs aren't downloaded they are just saved to your home screen. The icon looks like the logo in the top left of the game screen. Let me know if you have any trouble.

V0.8 has just shipped and its a big one.

1. New Update Incoming Performance Ratings Fuel Efficiency - roll based on:
   • Weather (headwinds/storms = worse)
   • Aircraft generation (neo/MAX = better base odds)
   • Route distance (longer = more variance)
   • Pilot hours on type (experience = better fuel mgmt) Landing Quality - roll based on:
   • Weather at arrival (crosswind, visibility)
   • Fatigue at landing
   • Hours on type
   • Aircraft category (widebody harder)
2. 'On Time' (Logging Completed Flights)
   • < 15 min of landing: = +0.3 "Prompt log"
   • 15 min to 1 hour: = 0.0 neutral
   • 1-3 hours: = -0.2 "Delayed log"
   • 3+ hours: = -0.5 "Late log"
3. AI VOICE ACARS
   • During a flight only
   • Playback on PRO AI ACARS tab
   • Don't need to be on the flight tab, can be anywhere in game
4. Waiting to be approved on Google Play Store

I accepted iron man flight, and I still can’t access the ATC, what do I do?

Did you fly it in game? Should look like this

Great, it seems to work now. Thank you for the quick fix and reply.

Question: How can I switch to Iron Man mode? (I choose a career with the other mode, as I'm not sure I can really fly on a daily basis)
Is there, besides the explanation in the app, a detailed manual of all the features and options, as I'm a tad lost.

The How To Play tab should explain most things. I admit it is overwhelming at first. There is a lot of details. Once you get the hang of it, its addicting.

To answer your original question: you have to start a new career if you want Iron Man mode. Note that this is also an option for Hardcore Iron Man mode. It is mostly the same except a persistent shared world economy.

zparker Unfortunately i'm still unable to register/login on Aviator Ledger:

- Google login doesn't work after logging in with my google account, the pop-up stays stuck on "redirecting", then returns to the "Sign In" window.
- Registering with a separate email does not work either, the 6 digit code does not arrive in my inbox.

Can you kindly check the backend? Thank you in advance.

We found and fixed two issues. The email service API key needed renewal, and the Google login popup has been updated to redirect faster. Google login should work now. If the popup still shows "Redirecting", just close it and refresh the main page. You should be signed in. We're also regenerating the email API key so code login works again.

How do you get to the AI ATC?

It is currently only available for Iron Man careers. Just start a flight in Iron Man mode, and then on your Dispatch tab Scheduled and Log Flight. Let me know if you have more questions!

thats working great! also good for future compatibility, i've heard 3rd party APK files are gonna be blocked by default on android next versions, no more 3rd party apps probably. (I heard that from a rl friend).

Not sure. I'll have it on the Play store and App store soon enough though.

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.

The game, and most others to be fair, is severely lacking a career mode. So I made an ultra realistic one to keep me engaged. Start as a FO and work your way to to Board member of your airlines. Found your own airline and even IPO it. I just implemented AI ACARS a couple days ago which gives you real time in flight messages. I'm way more engaged now.

Yes it does. You can download the PWA app.

I've enjoyed it so far, very fun and interactive. 10/10

Thanks! Did you try an iron man career yet?

Quote from BEst_LEEYAMA@TH

Wow, that look Amazing!!, I will definitely go and check it out, thanks so much man!!

Hey thanks! Once you get a feel for it, start an Iron Man career. Its a persistent world with a shared UTC clock so we can see each other on the Live Traffic Map.

Let me know if you have any questions or find any bugs!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share something I've been building that has direct Aerofly FS4 support and thought this community might find it interesting.

Aviator Ledger is a browser-based airline career simulator. It auto-imports your Aerofly FS4 flights and builds a full pilot career around them — pay based on real airline contract scales, FAA Part 117 fatigue rules with duty rig calculations, income tax by your home base city (109 real jurisdictions modeled), cost of living across 202 cities, 401(k), flight school debt, charter operations, and an IPO system if you want to go that far.

209 airlines and 7,456 routes. Iron Man mode runs on real UTC wall-clock time with no time compression and permanent decisions. A virtual airline system just launched — you can create your own VA, hire other pilots, and revenue splits automatically when they complete your routes.

It runs entirely in the browser, no download or installation required. Currently in beta and completely free — no credit card required to sign up.

I'm actively looking for beta testers who fly Aerofly FS4 and want to give feedback on what works and what doesn't.

Happy to answer any questions here.
