I rarely use APPR myself, and when I do, I usually fly manually down from 500 ft. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult to grease when the visibility is 0 SM 🤷‍♂️

[DeerCrusher]

🤷🏼‍♂️Not so sidetrack any further but this is something that we all should focus on in our personal lives.

Charging CR3W’s PayPal $10 for my service… pending

You are absolutely correct. Depth perception is wicked in instances like this.

Aircraft / Airport Restrictions (Training/Expert)

Hello. Here’s my feature request! Well, it gave me an idea. Why not have an Airport Restrictions like at EGLC, no A380. From my thoughts, it will be like this. “Sorry, but the airport you choose cannot accommodate this aircraft. It can accommodate only planes that are at the longer of a B737-800 or shorter.” Or a warning message if a gate that cannot accommodate A380 like (GA GATE NEXT TO THE RUNWAY OR MAINTENANCE APRON) Plus the spawn inability. Casual will be not affected by the warnin…

When you did a feature request and it gets implemented 😄

[BigBert10]

This is why I have a really really bad feeling about that feature

could ruin part of my IF experience especially at KSJC

Everything else looks fine but that feature really worries me

[Nono45_FR]

I saw people complaining about the gate restrictions.
Then why not make it active on TS and ES only?
Casual is Casual, and we can break any limits here… So it’ll be logical to don’t have it on Casual.

B777’s

I’m just assuming

[virginatlantic28]

well facebook said the TAM 777-300ER is coming in

[Darius_Glover]

It is, it’s one of the new livers added on the 777 fleet.

[Roubsan]

It will be a great update! I appreciate all the efforts the development team has made to improve the simulator. It’s not all about bringing new or reworked planes. Sometimes you need performance updates. To me personally 3D-buildings are not important at all. Some cloud layers would be nice but we can also fly without them. And about the planes… we’ll what they have in mind and when they will release them to us. Keep up the good work Infinite Flight Team and happy landings!

[IFMG]

Hey Jason. Consider a nice new Aer Lingus livery for the aircraft😉

[jasonrosewell]

You’re barking up the wrong tree with me. I’m not a developer, I don’t make these decisions, and you should post a feature request instead of making them here :)

[IFMG]

Hmm. I Hope a suggestion doesnt hurt your feelings. Didnt like the rude answer though. There’s many polite ways to say the same thing :(

[jasonrosewell]

Nothing rude about it. Just stating facts and I even used a :) This serves as a great reminder to keep feature requests in the proper category.

[Kuba_Jaroszczyk]

For those unfamiliar with the current updates the developers are working currently, let me summarise the whole update in a nutshell, this update should bring most of these features. This may not include South America scenery.

General fixes to the A330, also with additional Autoland (APPR), flaps and change to the physics.

@Laura

You guys are partly right and great detectives ;)

We’ve been listening, and while I can’t share the specifics of the planes we’re working on, reading about the issues of the A330 flight model made me want to take some time away from the 19.1 bug fixing schedule to bring the A330 flight physics up to speed.
That means the flight physics and (unfortunately) nothing else for this one as it would require quite a bit more work on the 3D Modeling side, and these guys are very busy at the moment as Jason mentioned in his latest post.

To summarize, this will bring:

• Updated flight physics
• Flaps issues will be fixed
• APPR Mode
• Fixed Autopilot issues
• Ground effect
• Better crosswind handling

This will not make any changes to the 3D Model, so:

• No wing flex
• No gear tilt
• No new animations

Happy landings everyone :)

Multiplayer Replay update, which allows all pilots replay their _whole_ flight.

@jasonrosewell

We can also now confirm that live replay for pilots will also come in this release! And all the pilots rejoiced. We had to wait until now to confirm this 100% since we didn’t want an unfinished product to prevent us from releasing something that was indeed otherwise ready to ship. I’ll be working on another social media teaser or two before launch that will showcase the pilot side of Live Replay. Note: this new version of live replay will also replace solo mode replay, so you won’t have a replay time limit anymore.

Multiplayer Replay update, which allows all IFATC controllers replay their controlling of airports on the expert server.

@jasonrosewell

ATC replay will show an exact replay of the controller’s entire session. This means they can replay the session and scan the replay for key events. Warnings to pilots are denoted by yellow bars on the timeline, and red lines are reports (ghosts). Just relying on screenshots will be a thing of the past when this feature is released as controllers will be able to pinpoint an exact scenario and either take more screenshots or record a screen capture video.

Airport Navigation Scenery Update, which includes updates to lots of airports around the world. However, this feature is already present in Infinite Flight, so it is not an addition to the update.

@ValXp

Today we pushed another update to the navigation and airport database.
You will need to restart the app to receive the updated navigation database.

This database contains all the airports and their ATC frequencies and navigation data such as: Fixes, VORs, etc.

125 airports have been worked on for this update thanks to the Airport Editing Team.

The latest FAA fixes data effective February 28th is included in this update.

Airport editing is a constant work to keep up to date with real world changes and adding more airports to Infinite Flight. The Airport Editing Team is doing an amazing job at adding content to Infinite Flight and anyone can join to help adding new airports or improving existing one.

Lastly, Jason revealed a great suprise for us in regards of additional liveries on their social media page.

@jasonrosewell

Quick update for everyone on this:
Things are going very well in prep for this first update of the year. To add to the fun, we’ve decided to push a few livery texture fixes as well as a few NEW liveries! Watch our social media accounts for previews!

And what do you know… here’s one now!

Slight note, the situation of the South American scenery is currently unknown. It will be done some time, I hope!

@jasonrosewell

Hello, pilots!

As many of you know, we have been waiting on our scenery supplier for an updated package of 15m/px scenery that will include South America. Our communication has been that we expected this by the end of 2018. We can now confirm that this new data is purchased and we should receive it after the holidays. Since it requires some time to process, our updated ETA is the first quarter of 2019 to add this new data to the app.

Regions included in this upcoming scenery update are South America, Northern Canada, Greenland, all Northern Polar Islands (Svalbard, etc), Eastern Russia, Sumatra, Indonesia, Borneo, New Guinea and all surrounding islands, and Antarctica. Also included will be some existing 15m areas that required touchups by decreasing cloud cover.

Note that anything that is above 82°N or below 82°S (poles) will be lower quality since the satellite source doesn’t cover those regions (if this news is unbearable for you, please let us know if we can borrow your satellite for a few minutes 😬).

We’re looking forward to exploring these new areas of the world with you in the new year!

Happy landings!

i mean when will this update come?

[schyllberg]

When we feel it’s ready. No dates are ever announced in advance as a lot of things can change during development and bug corrections.
