Does it still have narrow longitude band pointed segments and a giant hole at the North Pole?

Same here, sticking with FS2 for now. Iam happy with the Europe community made content for FS2. Also my favorite planes right now are Just Flight C152 and Turbo Arrow which are currently not available for FS4.

Besides cultivation, there are even some POIs in Boston. Cultivations can also be found in Philadelphia. Too bad DC is still flat. Perhaps IPACS has plan of expanding the northeastern scenery?

Ja, das ist wirklich sehr schade. Die Piper war eines meiner Lieblingsflieger.

Its offical -> Response from Justflight
Sehr bitter ... Kein Hawk, keine C152 und auch keine Turbo Arrow mehr
Well that is a shame. I would rather see FS 2 to evolve into bigger sim instead of releasing FS4 which will lack these beautiful airplanes.

Well I've received a different reply in the past so maybe they just didn't communicated or discussed their intents internally. I wouldn't put a nail in that coffin or read too much into that reply, especially because I've already converted their aircraft and they are actually working in Aerofly FS 4...

I feel the changes are not sufficient yet to switch from Aerofly FS2. I will still use my custom scenery with FS2, which works nicely. When helicopter stuff like slingloading and improved SDK is added I will reconsider. I would have assumed those features had been added as they are already existing in the pro version.

Regarding the first external videos on Youtube I was quite sceptical ..... The objects seemed not to be state of the art, ground textures did not convince me etc....
Nevertheless something "inside me" said "Give it a try" and so I spend 67 Euro for the bundle....
.... and i do not regret any cent of it!!!!
I see a lot of efforts put into this new version, e.g. cultivation in a lot more countries than before, the houses look better than in the previous version, windmills and high-voltage-pilons all over the map, a smoother performance than before, the sims starts very quickly once all new files are registered, my All-TIme-Favourite-Airplane Ju 52 etc.......
Keep going and give us more hi-res-ground-textures and interesting addons. And maybe 3d party developers will follow - who knows.
Once again I love this sim.
P.S.: User created ground images work perfectly in this version

I have X-plane, MSFS, P3D, AFS2 and power and storage and web connection enough to play any of them. Still i very much like this new version AFS4. Very fluid, instant start, sharp image.
Default cultivation in AFS4 is very impressive when you combine it with hi-res images. For testing I took the excellent Paris from IZ0JUB, and Hamburg from Schnuffeluffel.
I also want to thank them and every freeware contributor for these addons!
So the sim is far from perfect out of the box, but it has very powerful engine which is very capable if fed with good hi-res images. Much better looks vs performance than AFS2 and those other sims. I think that the new AI traffic is quite nice already, of course lights and contrails, ground traffic etc would be nice.
Sim also need better weather systems some way of shining water and more. But overall it is already so well done, that I really hope enough buyers and development.
I also use FS-Chatter for ATC sounds by choosing right controller in different phases of flight.
I like it better than any default ATC or Addon ATC (i have several) for my purpose, because i am too lazy to follow exact protocol in short sim sessions. I just want to have the feeling of air traffic around me. And those default ATC systems of other sims are very repetitive and limited anyway.
So i am playing this sim when i want to relax with flying without unpleasant surprises, which often come with other sims

Please tell me with what trick I can make my C152 and the Arrow work in FS4.

The aircraft are not compatible. You need the original files to convert them to FS 4, so only Just-Flight can do that. The trick is to just wait. The sim has only been out 4 days, try to enjoy our large fleet of aircraft in the meantime

I’d like the Piper Arrow in FS4, with the gps fixed (no stuck trail back to the initial waypoint).
Don’t assume it would be free or even discounted for FS2 Arrow customers, have Just Flight ever done an upgrade?
