Oh, it's a great but rather old version aerofly professional deluxe, called AFPD.

You can download lot of sceneries and models for it at rc-sim.de, Higgy's server for sim stuff.

After AFPD IPACS published aerofly rc5, rc7 and currently rc8.

Great to read you're a rc pilot as well

This is what I love (and hate) about FS2, its just so accurate.

Steve

Well, 2 doctors in physics and a university degree in aerospace engineering counts a lot for accuracy.

I'll be interested as well, at least to follow the conversation. Perhaps I learn to avoid my rc models from crashing

what i do is delete the lights and reflections in the folders, that improves my fps a looot

The reflection files control the behaviour of the surfaces, you may live without them.

But removing the light files will remove your night textures. Keep T (time) pressed and see what happens in the dark.

This is a very timely livery:

When you use Ctrl-F8 for the developer's camera, you can press R to reset the camera close to your aircraft.

There exist a video for using this camera:

Excellent!

Thanks for reminding us this global event.

I still think, a list of POIs combined with these background stories would be a good addition to this scenery.

Peter,

please be carefull! Do not hit the fuel station as it happened in Austria with the Redbull Apache.

Think about the flightsim market.

There exist 'hardcore simmers', who have the latest hardware plus additional tools for their favorite flightsim. They might have spent thousands of bucks for it. They want to use it as close to reality as possible including all procedures like in real life. If it takes 10 minutes to get a Jumbo up from cold and dark, so that’s reality.

There are 'intermediate simmers' who want to have a certain system depth, but prefer a quick start sequence over real life procedures.

Another group may be called 'fun simmers', gamers who hop into a cockpit and want to fly, just with the stick controls without caring about fuelling or ATC or pushback.

Actually the flight sim community comprises all these people and everything in between. And none of the current flightsims can satisfy all the very different requests.

Now, I’m not sure whether the first group is the largest group. Also think about it, are these people mostly FSX- and future MSFS-users, willing to change at all to another product? I don’t think so, because no other product can compete with Microsoft’s market power (including all the 3rd party devs). And I’m not sure whether aerofly should reinvent all the features, which are already existing in other sims.

In a competitive market aerofly should focus on it’s own strength and on features supporting this. Let’s say we have a good flight model, 2 outstanding helos (1 user helo!!!), superb graphics, high frame rates and great VR support. What would fit into these positive aspects?

More helos, multiplayer, weather? Sounds good for group 2 and 3, group 1 will still find so many missing features, that they don’t think about aerofly. But some of them may like a quick nice flight with aerofly in between their MSFS flights.

Perhaps you have some more ideas in this line of thinking instead demanding another version of MSFS.

Hi Todd,

the airport beacon tower must be exactly centered in the 3D file before converting into aerofly.

Otherwise you will have an offset between your coordinates and your real position.

Hawaii Leaks

This is a deep insight into the internal communications of the team.

It demonstrates how hard and seriously the team is working to get this job done.

Reliable sources say, the 2 leaked images were created by a ###jockey###

Hi all,

I hope the team members will use more of their free time to do things with friends and family after the first release....

Peter,

the problem is, we are full of ideas and can start already 10 more projects.

But perhaps we should follow your advice

Thanks

There will be no milk on Hawaii due to low flying jets

Tata!!!

Your price is a sightseeing flight around most beautiful Hawaii!!!

Isn't that fantastic???

Of course in this great simulator called aerofly.

Oh, you do this every day?

You're already a lucky man!

Thanks for your friendship

Do you know the aerofly FS wiki ?

I think, it's more focussed to the PC version, but it may help you in some aspects.

Hey man,

one and a half year with aerofly and only recently your first posts? You could have been more active here

No, actually all flight simmers know about MSFS, and some of us are even in the alpha and beta program.

MSFS will be a burner anyway, it doesn't need additional advertising right now. Many of us have already several flight sims and will have this as well.

So why not using different sims for different preferences? Let's discuss here about aerofly.

No offense

Ok tup61,

you have now 3 posts where you declare aerofly as dead and we should look into MSFS.

We got it now and you may forgive us, that we still have fun with aerofly.

This is a very active and friendly forum, but we care about what we have and what we can do right now with the existing tools.

I'm currently preparing a library of static gliders.

Will be available within the next few days.

I don't know, whether Phil can use them, but alternatively we can place them manually.

Oh,

good hint!!!

We'll have to shift the release again...
