Most customers expect the gear to toggle between up and down. And even Boeing decided to get rid of this Off position in their newer aircraft.
I guess I could animate the lever so that it automatically goes to the off position after 10 seconds or so.
The copilot auto-tunes VORs nearby and eventually it might also tune the ADF if the route has an NDB approach planned.
The EC135 also has an autopilot so you don't really need the copilot to just fly the route. And then you're in full control of the frequency tuning.
IPACS, the bug will be fix in monday? I'm very anxious to fly the B737-800.
Another update is on the way already, please check for an update in the store.
Just purchased the B737-800 and discovered it can't be initiated with the cold and dark state. Was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem? iPhone 13 mini, iOS18.5, app 1.05.05.01.
I've moved your post here. Can you fly the 737-800 at all?
Thanks for the quick reply. That makes sense. I was just surprised that the plane went into A.FLOOR when only around 10kts below the green dot speed in clean configuration. The appr phase was active and speed in managed. Looking back on it I probably just forgot to retract the speed brake.
Quick question: If there is a speed constraint below the green dot speed, e.g. 180kts, will the plane just activate the appr phase and it’s up to the pilot to maintain it by using selected speed? If so, will the locations of the flap 1 and 2 extension marker change to accommodate this?
Did you manually enter any weights into the FMS? If so, what weight did you insert?
Do the A320neo and 737 MAX share the same engine sounds?
The 737 uses the LEAP 1B, the A320neo uses the LEAP 1A.
The 737 MAX LEAP 1B fan diameter (1.76m) is significantly less than that of the A320neo LEAP 1A (1.98m). In fact the 737 MAX fan diameter is barely larger (only 1.7% larger) then the old CFM56-5B (1.73m) found on the A320ceo. Therefor it needs to spin at higher speeds (N1 4586 RPM vs. 3894 RPM) which changes the sound.
VLS is the slowest speed that auto-thrust and the autopilot will target to. A.FLOOR activates based on angle of attack but the AOA needs to be quite high, usually you're already well in the red stall speed tape by that point. You're not yet in a stall condition if the airspeed is still above the red stall speed. The order is usually like this: VAPP = VLS +5kt minimum, VLS = 1.3g stall speed, VS = 1g stall speed where alpha protection starts to pitch down, then alpha floor where engines spool up to TO/GA, then alpha max which can only be achieved by holding full aft sidestick.
The VLS shown on the PFD in Aerofly FS is based on real world data tables and it gets quite high at high Mach numbers. It depends on the weight of the aircraft that you entered and changes if you extend speed brakes for example. So the question is, what mass did you insert into the ZFW and fuel? What gross weight is shown on the lower right corner of the ECAM screen?
Only when the FMS is in the approach phase AND when you use managed speed will the aircraft slow down to green dot in clean configuration and stay there until flaps are extended. Perhaps you are encountering a speed constraint on the route, e.g. 220, 210 or 200kt which are not uncommon. In this case flaps 1 would have to be used in the real world to comply with the speed contraint of the arrival, approach or departure procedure.
How long is it going to take to fix this?
We haven't yet found the cause why it's working for some customers but not others. And it's the weekend, where we have the days off but I'm sure the boss is already investigating behind the scenes.
Thats why we need as much information as possible from you guys to find the pattern of who is affected and why.
tm.log file sent
Well it wasn't saving my last flight position. My last position before all this started happening was "Basel" with the "UH-60 Blackhawk". That's what my starting position is stuck on every time I fire up the SIM now since this update that happened.
Try going back to the main menu during the flight when everything is still working fine. It should then save that position even if a crash occurs later on.
Can you please go to your user documents Aerofly FS 4 folder and locate the tm.log file inside. Then upload the file for us as a txt or inside a zip archive?
This might tell us why the sim crashes.
Red ist challenging, green is popular. Orange is military.
Leider hat die -200 ein quasi komplett anderes Cockpit soweit ich weiß. Wenn wir darauf verzichten und das neue Q400 Cockpit behalten dann geht das vielleicht.
Der Glide-Slope wurde noch gar nicht eingegangen, deswegen aktiviert sich ALT. Solange G/S aber noch gearmed ist sollte er diesen dann später einfangen, wenn die G/S Nadel mal in die Mitte wandert.
Der ILS course ist falsch. Bitte prüfen, dass in der MCDU auf der RAD/NAV Seite entweder der richtige Kurs gesetzt wird oder das Auto-Tuning aktiv ist. Dazu einmal die CLR Taste drücken und die Zeile der ILS Frequenz löschen. Dann solle das System wieder den richtigen Kurs automatisch setzen.
Still seeing these blocky areas around Europe and the US, can this be improved?
These errors are coming from the image data provider. Aerial images are recorded in stripes from airplanes and these planes have to land at some point and by the next time the can fly there the colors of the vegetation may have changed. There are also different companies recording the images with different equipment, which is why the images change between country borders.
Manually adjusting the borders is unfortunately a very time consuming task. Perhaps we can automate this one day using AI and image recognition. But that's also a lot of work.
At which airport does it not work?
You can also access the old menu from the top right edit button. Does the same issue exist there, too?
Alles anzeigenHello, Ipacs , as much as we enjoy the game, they are still some basics missing which in the absence of these the game gets boring at some point
1. Live weather and time
2. Weight. We should be able to adjust fuel,payload and etc
3. Old waypoints. Please update the waypoints at least to simbrief standard
4. Touchdown sounds for other aircrafts
5. And lastly an internal map for progress check
Bonus: AI ATC
Thank you.
These are very complex features and not basic.
1. Weather takes about 1-2 years of full time work to fully implement.
2. That is high on our priority list but will take some time.
3. Navigation data has become very expensive and if we find a cost effective solution we'll use that. Otherwise the app price would have to be 5-10x higher to offset the cost.
4. We'll update the aircraft sounds over time
5. We do have the location map and navigation map. But it might be good to add more information about the flight progress, yes.
6. AI most likely requires constant Internet access but it's certainly an interesting idea. Time to develop this and get fully ready could also be a year or more though.
Thanks for the suggestions
4. Nothing happens when you "break the sound barrier". The sonic boom only happens when you continue to fly faster than the speed of sound.
The issue seems to be that the purchase or download button is not showing up. But you can still select the plane but since it was never downloaded you cannot load the airplane, therefore the default Cessna 172 is loaded instead.
For everyone experiencing this issue, were you all part of the beta program before or is there someone who never used the beta and can still not purchase or download the 737-800?
From which country are you connecting from? Perhaps some files are corrupted in our content delivery network which affects some countries but not others?
The 737-800 has many liveries, much more than the 737-900. That increases the download size and thus the cost for us to host the files online. So you get more variety from the 737-800 with more than 70 repaints.
Most devices do not support it and having this on just a few devices is more confusing than not having at all on mobile.
So currently this is a feature exclusively available for the desktop version, i.e. Aerofly FS 4.
