Aircraft Improvements - December Update (7/8)

Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator · published 9 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The December update is now already released and the teasers still continue!


We've made a number of changes that have not been shown in the previous teasers and which are still worth mentioning. We modified the main menu slightly to add a new button for Fuel & Load button, we moved the Recent Flights into the career menu and Challenges menu into the Flights menu. But there's more to unpack:

Persistent Aircraft State

When you exist the sim and resume the flight at a later date the entire aircraft state is now saved automatically. This means even if you have to close the app or shutdown your PC you can still continue your flight as if nothing happened at a later point in time.

Aircraft Flight Model Improvements

We've changed the center of gravity for several aircraft to be closer to the real world values and adjusted the flight models to be more realistic as well for many aircraft. Because of the adjustable fuel and load the aircraft's center of gravity and handling characteristics will now change naturally as a result of this.

Animations, Improvements and Fun Features

  • A319, A320neo, A321 emergency gear extension and red "gear not down" arrow below gear lever

  • A320 family backup speed scale (BUSS) when all air-data computers are off or when manually selected on the A320neo front panel

  • A350 now only aileron raise with ground spoilers when needed to increase friction (large auto-brake deceleration command)

  • A350 interior lighting has less of an FPS impact, significantly improving performance on weaker devices

  • B787-9 and 787-10 automatic APU start and RAT deployment upon dual engine failure, with visible RAT (ram air turbine) and sounds

  • B787-9 and 787-10 windshield wiper animation

  • F18 cold and dark, higher mass, realistic flight envelope, flight controller adjustments with faster g-command, master caution system, working launch-bar and arresting hook

  • F4U Corsair now has a working arresting hook
