Hi All,
it's clear even to stones that Aerofly FS2 has a huge potential but in the last 20 years of flight simming we have already seen too many times products with a high potential sinking without a trace.
The question this time, will FS2 be the king for the next 6-8 years or will it sink without a trace ? It depend solely on IPACs decisions, I think everybody here agrees.
To make a long story short, this is, IMO, what is needed to decide the future of this product :
1) add SID and STARS which belong to Navigraph data with of course a working FMC on airliners
2) add a robust and flexible wx engine with powerful graphic clouds, rain, snow effects. Also on glass shield.
3) Release a powerful SDK
4) Extend the gorgeous graphic at least to 3-4 EU countries ( not only Switzerland !! ) an also to 3-4 USA sates within the base package, the other ones may come via payware addons.
5) Add a decent ATC that knows in real time where planes are and where they need to go, altitude included of course.
6) ILS must work
If IPACS will be able to do that they can sell the game even to 70-80 bucks and it will become a Blockbuster for the next upcoming years for sure.
If IPACS won't do all of these features, well, it will remain a mobile arcade app only
IPACS, owners, devs, forumers, further comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thx
