Hello all, I was recently flying with someone on the same discord server as a flight of 2, we were talking about how we wished it was possible to do aerobatic maneuvers on expert server without having to get a TFR request approved. We came up with an idea of having an ATIS option for air traffic control. For example, the ATIS would be as follows: (Calgary Airport, ATIS information BRAVO, time 1856 ZULU, wind 100 at 4, visibility 20, temperature 24, dew point 15, altimeter 2984. Remarks, use of departure and arrival procedures recommended, aerobatic maneuvers approved. Landing runways 1a and 17L, departing runway 17R. Advise on initial contact, you have information BRAVO.) I think this will really let some people have some professional fun on the expert server without creating disruptions. I hope I can get your vote!
Frankly I disagree…because then pilots will actively seek out airports with this in the ATIS and then just mess around because they know they can get away with it.
Aerobatics belong on Casual Server.
or we could click on an airport and mark it for aerobatic maneuvers
Hello
I understand that you seek a more realistic experience in the game, as it is important to many players. The Infinite Flight team has been working hard to provide a simulation environment that is as authentic as possible.
However, ensuring safety and adhering to real-world operational regulations are equally important for a professional flight simulation game. The Expert Server and Training Server aim to simulate real aviation operations, following actual aviation rules and procedures. This approach helps deliver a professional and realistic flight experience, allowing players to learn and understand the challenges and requirements of real flying.
While aerobatic maneuvers may be appealing to some players, allowing them without restrictions in the game could disrupt the experience of other pilots. Considering the overall community’s interests, Infinite Flight has decided to implement temporary flight restrictions on the Expert Server to ensure that all pilots operate under the same rules and maintain a good flight environment.
Although I understand your viewpoint, balancing realism and player preferences is crucial in a flight simulation game. The Infinite Flight team continuously listens to player feedback and strives to provide the best gaming experience.
I appreciate your feedback!
Imagine if a controller allows aerobatic maneuvers at KLAX. It’s already bad as it is, planes taxiing through each other, over speeding, etc.
Right but i was intending for this option just to be used on military airports, and small airports that pilots may have requested
I would see this feasible if it only was a feature at military bases and strict procedures were put in place for the military jets.
In that case we can have a NOTAM at that airport, like we did for the Paris Airshow.
NOTAM’s are generally outstanding abnormal events or procedures that are not a regular occurrence.
Exact. I would take it with great pleasure at military airports (or even the few military airports with arrestor hooks feature).
I think aerobatics could have a place on expert server under strict conditions.
And for those Messing around too much, PFI, PFI2 and report button still exists
Additionally, speed restrictions, types of maneuvers and airspace regulations. However, these factors would be extremely difficult to educate the general public.
Maybe with x manœuvres and speed permitted from FLx to FLz you know…
There is not a lot of airports with arrestors cables and they are usually used by few people at a time
This would be great for air shows in IF, This will allow for atc control during shows
Definitely has my vote, I agree with the feature and this would help with say Osh Kosh
Thanks for voting! 😁
Hello!
I think that’s not a good idea, let me explain you why. For all of those years Infinite Flight has used the Expert Server as a place for every single pilot who wants to get a realistic flying experience, right? If we bring to that server this kind of features it’ll lose the sense, I understand perfectly your viewpoint but we all know how are users in Infinite Flight. Even if it comes true there are still some preventive measures to follow, for example instruct to IFATC members which airports they must/should allow the maneuvers since I think that’s not an option for all of them, just image that remark at KLAX or EGLL.
I hope it’s useful, good day!
Thanks for the feedback!
