Infinite Flight 2021 Year In Review

[Miklos_Davidson-vilc]

I really like the comment you sent to all of the infinite flight people

I think the most exciting part is the sheer progression in the span of only a year. Just imagine where we’ll be by the time 2023 or 2024 rolls around. Undoubtedly (or hopefully) an expanded team of devs, airport editors, ATC, mods, would give Infinite Flight the grounds to absolutely explode (in a good way) compared to where we are now. I think we’re already gapping the pack of mobile flight sims, but I think it’d be great to further expand that gap.

What a great way to end the year 👍

You’ve done a fabulous job this year Infinite Flight,
2021 has been tough for some of us and hopefully 2022 will bring us positivity.

For the moment let’s appreciate the Sneak Peaks 👀 and be thankful for the team.

On that note, have a wonderful end of 2021 and of course:

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣

Also excited for a220 sounds ngl

I wonder how can you develop 3D airports in countries with limited to no geographical areas or viewing of maps such as China, India Pakistan and Syria and miltary bases since they are usually restricted or not shown on map for national security reasons

[Chief_Beef]

I completely agree with you

[MxP]

I at least know about China that this is also the reason why it only got one 3D airport so recently. If you search long enough you’ll find something I suppose

[Aeroplane747]

I cant wait for animated jet bridges

[Sami_Fajita_Air]

I have been waiting (not an exaggeration) for almost 10 years

Happy New Year Infinite Flight
After 21.1 was released by 32bit device was not compatible with the update. So now im still on 20.3. Can wait to upgrade my device early 2022 sometime and the difference will be massive between version 20.3 and 22.1/2/3 etc…

2021 was truly an amazing year for Infinite Flight and community! I’m very excited for animated jetbridges! Looking forward to 2022!

[Kaylon]

I’m exited for 3D Atlanta… thank you guys for all the hard work and dedication over the years and thing is getting better as we go. Happy new year everybody

[Joseph_Miller6]

You and me man. Flying into KATL will be a dream come true.

[Hadzrien]

While everyone excited about animated jet bridges including me, do you guys have any news about lighting?

[Brody_Swiatek]

This year was great although I didn’t fly as much, still had fun. It just sucks that the newest planes didn’t get engine noises. :(

[DeltaFox]

This year was a better year than last and as covid goes down next few years should keep getting better for both IF and the Real World! Cheers to 2022!

Consider improvements in lights of the aircrafts, make logo, landing, taxi lights and all lights to be brighter. It will significantly add some realism as well

[AlaskaAirfireball111]

Dynamic lighting is in the works. For now, we have to wait until more information is released. All of this is possible due to the working continuous updates of Project Metal.

Landing/Taxi Lights illuminate the ground

This really bugs me because the landing lights in infinite flight are useless. Landing lights in IF would help pilots see what’s ahead as well as other pilots can see their plane. And we would also benifit from Landing Lights actual uses, illuminating the runway at poorly lit airports, and helping out with low visibility approaches. Here would be an example of landing lights illuminating the ground: [IMG_1880] credits to What is the diffference between landing lights, taxi lights and external l…

Aircraft Taxi Lights

Once again this is being requested because posts about it have been old and closed. Taxi lights would be a great option instead of using landing lights for taxiing, because we are supposed to turn them off when exiting the runway and just use taxi lights. But without them there is no light to taxi (see picture of taxi/landing lights below). [image] This would also help with realism, using checklists and for better light when taxiing (while not blinding the pilot ahead)

Tail Logo Lights

[image] Since the last one was closed, here’s the new one. I think this is really cool and would encourage more people (including me) to fly on night time mode.

[CaptainCEBirchard]

Do we have an estemate for when the jet bridges could be updated? Or is it still deep in the process?

[AlaskaAirfireball111]

It is still in progress so there is no estimated date for release.

So, at this time, the best thing to do is pay attention to #blog and #announcements as well as all of Infinite Flights social medias including, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube for any updates regarding Infinite Flight.
