Controls and Flight Assistances

• Added support for native Steam VR Input to support more functions when using VR controllers
• Changed assistance automatic brake hold can be enabled and disabled in settings and works more reliable
• Fixed assistance lights sets anti-collision switches in B737, LJ45, Q400 correctly
• Fixed assistance automatic cockpit no longer moves propeller speed lever when user has them assigned as twin propeller speed levers
• Fixed throttle quadrant assignments for single engine and twin/quad engine no longer conflicting with each other, e.g. with default Thrustmaster TCA assignments
• Fixed numerous aircraft small fixes to ground spoiler, reverse thrust and continuous ignition behavior
• Fixed numerous aircraft COM frequencies are now initialized in correct 25kHz increments
• Changed spoiler drag increased slightly to allow a better descent rate and easier speed reduction

Aircraft Features

• Added numerous aircraft now have changing engine oil pressures and temperatures
• Added A320 3D sound
• Added A320 ground spoiler partial extension with only one landing gear compressed and reverse thrust selected
• Fixed A320 and A380 autopilot LVR MCT shown and behavior corrected when one engine is inoperative
• Fixed A320 fly by wire now switches to ground mode in lateral axis as soon as first landing gear is on ground
• Added A320 MCDU checks for valid v-speed entries (e.g. v-speed not entered or below stall speed or below minimum control speeds)
• Added A320 ECAM performs takeoff consistency checks during takeoff configuration test (e.g. if flaps are not at MCDU entered value)
• Added A320 ECAM caution when fuel pumps are not on after engines are started (gravity fuel start possible like in real world)
• Fixed A320 pitch trim scale now matches the indicated pitch trim angle on the flight control page
• Added A380 ECAM status, engine, APU, door, wheel and flight-control pages
• Added A380 OIS map display (WIP)
• Added A380 APU, engine starter and cockpit background sounds
• Added A380 engine start highlights engine on ECAM display
• Added A380 folding table animation
• Changed A380 displayed engine rating N1 and thrust display corrected
• Fixed A380 takeoff warning no longer triggered when flaps are 1+F or 3
• Fixed A380 previous MFD pages are now correctly displayed during instant-replay
• Changed Jungmeister flight model adjusted slightly to enable a better pitch trim range and more pitch trim authority
• Changed B787 ailerons raise higher with ground spoilers during rollout
• Changed B787 engine fuel control switches illuminate with fire warning on associated engine
• Changed EC135 now behaves similar to other autopilots: AP master assignment toggles HDG/VS modes and AP disengage button deselects higher modes, keeping ATT hold mode
• Changed EC135 autopilot control deflections are less aggressive and more precise
• Fixed F15e ailerons no longer droop in high-G maneuvers
• Fixed C90GTx nose landing light goes off when gear retracts
• Fixed Q400 even in power interruptions the selected speeds remain displayed
• Fixed Q400 moving the assigned engine masters from off to on moves the condition levers to start/feather only if they were at cut off before
• Fixed LJ45 wheel brake strength now symmetrical

I think I will give #4 a try late next month after i get some new components and a windows reinstall. I had #2 for quite some time years ago and it was not too bad. Looks like this might be a good step forward.

Let us know what you think of it.

I am primarily interested in the flight dynamics and systems modelling.

Latest changelog (as far as I know)

The Concorde is now added as a free update to Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator!

This update also includes several bug fixes for other aircraft.

If you haven't done so yet and want to support us, please leave a positive review for Aerofly FS 4 in the Steam Store. It would mean a lot to us and we would greatly appreciate it.

A tutorial for the Concorde is also available on our website:
