r/infiniteflight

Hi! I just downloaded now the app and trying to understand if there is any kind of career mode or path. Like from small planes to a airline cmdr.
Or like fse economy for xplane or msfs.

Thanks!

What aircraft do you think we'll see added or reworked next after the A350-1000 release and 787/A320 Family rework ? This is more about what you think will come out next, not what you want to come out next

Me personally, I think the next update after the current ones that are WIP, we'll see a 767 or 747 rework, maybe an A340 or A330-200F rework but I think that's less likley, but with the new content pipeline, on the IFC page, it was said that something like an A350F wouldn't be too hard to develop, maybe we'll see an A350F, 767F, A330F, or something like that.

If they where to add a completly new varient/aircraft, I think it could be a 777-200 or 777-300, the none ER/LR varients or maybe a A330-800neo, would be cool to see Air Greenland in the game with this plane

Let me know what you think :)

This leads to my suggestion that we should expect Infinite Flight to start adding more aircraft families by creating variants of existing ones, and the obvious candidates are the 737F and the 757F.

As we've seen, adding variants isn't rocket science. All the basics are laid out and working. The main work involved is tweaking engines, weights, performance characteristics, and visuals. In the case of the freighter variants, the only additional elements would be a new cargo door, updated livery, and, possibly, new sounds if necessary. In other words, a minimal amount of effort compared to designing a new aircraft from scratch.

Infinite Flight has the 737 and the 757 already present in the sim. Thus, it would be enough to do just two things to get a good freighter variant:

* Change weights and adjust for cargo operations

* Adjust performance slightly

* Add the cargo door visually

* Update livery

There will be absolutely no need to introduce new cockpit models or aircraft systems, since the aircraft remains fundamentally unchanged aside from the cargo compartment configuration. In fact, it will take much less work compared to implementing the A39X, whose design entailed some tweaking on the modeling front too.

Surely, in reality, there are many more differences between regular passenger airliners and cargo planes, but from a standpoint of sim development, especially on Infinite Flight, this seems to be relatively easy to implement.

Moreover, cargo operations account for a huge chunk of real world aviation that doesn't receive proper attention on IF at all. Adding the 737F and 757F would give us whole another type of aircraft to fly in.

I'm interested to hear your opinion on that. Should freighters be easily implemented next? Or am I overlooking something?

Now that 26.1 is out into the world, I’ve wondered if we could expect the following improvements in game since the new content pipeline is being used? I think the devs have done a great job so far especially regarding graphics. However, in terms of AutoPilot I think there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done.

LNAV

Since 26.1, this feature has had a slight improvement as the turns are slightly smoother, and the feature that shows if you are travelling too fast to make a turn. However, sometimes even without the red line on the flight plan showing, the LNAV still sometimes struggles to make turns and I have had to override the AP multiple times now to stop it from overcorrecting.

SPEED HOLD

The speed hold AP is still very dramatic and I always have to change speed manually, as it will always use full throttle to increase speed when selecting a higher speed, and always misses and overcorrects when trying to achieve a lower speed.

APPR

This autopilot instrument Is what i struggle with the most, when using it to lineup with the runway the instrument waits till far too late to turn the aircraft and throws it into a dramatic bank and often overshoots and corrects itself (even when approaching at a 30° angle). Another part of this that is frustrating is that when intercepting the glideslope, the aircraft is thrown into a pitch up to meet the glide slope and then pitches back down again.

I always try to fly as realistically as possible, and try to do everything by the book as pilots do IRL. But I can’t rely on the games AutoPilot to achieve the best realism. I don’t want to seem like I am just hating on the game, I just want to provide developers with user feedback and hope that we can expect further improvements to the game following 26.1.

hello, I'm a dude who likes playing infinite flight, that likes playing infinite flight, but the thing is that I can't afford pro and I don't really have anything to do with it since I can't fly like 96 precent of the planes and really just fly anywhere
