I read on RE: Development Teasers for new A350 [URL:https://www.aerofly.com/community/forum/index.php?thread/22600-development-teasers-for-new-a350/&postID=161182#post161182], that the A350 will be on Steam, Android and iOS. Whats about macOS and the AppStore-Version of Aerofly FS4 there? Actually the version in AppStore is 4.6.9 ...

Maybe thats another topic, but the current version in Apple AppStore 4.6.8 of Aerofly FS4 has the bug also, that you cannot do a winch launch or push back etc., because the app crashes immediately after starting the flight. The reason is, that the subfolder "equipment" is missing in the app folder (Aerofly FS/Contents/Resources/). Thats not the first time, that this folder is missed within the execute file (in macOS in fact this is a folder) after a new update. When you copy the subfolder from…

Hey guys, in the east of Chicago in AF FS4 you will see a very big transmission tower. It's height is about 4000 ft (ca. 1200 meters!). I think, this is a little mistake in scenery, isn't it? Because a funny detail is also, that the same tower is in a very small format next to the huge transmission tower, see screenshot.

I can confirm, that the apple version of AF FS4 doesn't establish connections to FSWidgets. Macbook Air M2 with macOS Sonoma 14.7.4.

[…] Thanks, Jan, but with visibility it works. Is this not a part of weather system also? So I thought, this would not be a problem with the clouds also …

[…] No, the thread and my intention was just to talk about a suggestion of a possibility for a further key assignment, nothing more. There are enough other weather-related threads in this forum.

[…] Thats off-topic, sorry. Because it's a more complex thing to implement a good weather system, which would be a big step for Aerofly FS (maybe this would be version 5 or 6 one day ...), my suggestion is a little and easy way, only to change cloud density during the flight without going back to settings - just by assigning this to a key-command. This thread shows, that I'm not alone with this idea, which should be not a very big challenge for the developers. By the way, I'm not sure, if a…

[…] ... the sound of silence ... ;) :S

What do you think, Jan, would this option be possible to realise easily?

Hey guys, hey Jan, I have a suggestion, which should not be very complicated to implement: Would it be possible to have key commands for the density of clouds too, similar to the settings for visibility, which is already possible to change it with key commands. The idea is: so you can easily change the cloud density on the fly and simulate in a very basic way weather or cloud changes during the trip? This maybe would be a little workaround, until maybe a whole (METAR based?) weather system…

[…] Yes, you're right, you can see it on the screenshot. FL410, near 56 tonnes GW, the VLS on PFD is near 180 kias. But you see also the small slot between 225 kias green dot speed and 245 kias overspeed. So the amber marker should show on AF FS4 also, I think. Jan just wrote, that it will be fixed, thanks! :thumbup:

Nonetheless I doubt, that you could fly an A32x series with 58.500 kg gross weight (f. e. for the A319 in AF FS4) with 200 kts indicated airspeed at FL390 without any stall. You can compare with real procedures or other virtual flight models like Tollis A319, f. e., which is near study level and correct with calculations.

Hey guys, on the models A319/320/321 it seems to me, that in high altitudes the speed slot (slot between overspeed and stall speed), which is very small in high FL, is not calculated or displayed correctly on PFD. In real flight situations on FL390 there has to be an amber marker til 220-230kts, I think. Maybe you could fix this. All the best, thanks! Ansgar
