Rudder control overlaps gear lever

Hi, I’d like to report a usability issue I’ve encountered in the mobile version of Aerofly FS. On some aircraft — not just the 777 — the rudder control appears right on top of the landing gear lever. This can cause accidental gear retraction while trying to control yaw during approach, which is quite frustrating.

It’s not a bug exactly, but it often forces me to reposition the camera awkwardly just to avoid triggering the gear lever. Maybe a small UI tweak or an option to relocate controls could solve this.

You can zoom in and out in the cockpit using pinch-to-zoom gestures. You can also move the camera view around to prevent this.

We'll investigate if we can change the entire rudder control area so that you can't tap anything behind it on accident.

Thank you for the reply!

Yes, I already try adjusting the camera view and zooming in/out, but unfortunately that compromises the visibility I personally prefer. The position shown in the screenshot is the one that works best for me — it gives me a clear view of the instruments and outside visuals, especially during final approach. But in that position, the rudder control overlaps the gear lever, and it's very easy to accidentally retract the landing gear during flight while using rudder inputs.

This only happens in the air, of course, since the gear lever is locked when on the ground. Still, it's inconvenient and forces me either to avoid using the rudder in flight or to constantly change my view, which breaks immersion.

If it’s possible to make the rudder control a "protected area" that prevents accidental taps on cockpit elements behind it while in use, I think it would help a lot without impacting other users.
