A Meteor tank engine used in Cromwell, Comet and Centurion tanks was a Merlin without a supercharger. It was detuned a bit but produced 600 horsepower at a time when normal Merlins delivered in the 1,400 to 1,600 horsepower range. A R2800 without blowers would be limited to a similar extent.

The aerofly FS ios was a real gem. I am posting a video as a paid agent of Robin Factory. This shows how good the all-round view was from the DR 400.
Just the plane for a tight turn at low level. I would have liked to do stalls in one the of the French planes with strongly washed out wing tips, the Jodels have them too. I had a useful dread of spinning in at low level and valued docile wallowing in a stall over a snappy wing drop. The Cherokees were more bus-like than the Cessnas but I loved their kindness to silly flyers. A Socata Rallye would be nice in Aerofly, full span linked automatic leading edge slats, I loved them.
My first time using iOS FS I just thought ‘this handles right’. Aerofly doesn’t always work perfectly on first issue but iOS FS made a powerful impression on me, much stronger than with the hyped blade theory hot air of X plane 9 in PC.
(I’m thinking of getting X p 12 in P.C. I need the technical side that is simply not in favour at Tübingen). -
340 knots at sea level with zero boost seems unlikely to me, that is 391 mph which is roughly the maximum speed of a Me/Bf109G at about 18,000 feet.

I’ve got ’Aerofly 1’ on my android phone and an old tablet. It works well and was a significant improvement on the original iOS issue ‘aerofly FS’ which like PC FS lacked the flight planning feature. I kept FS2 on android, alternate years of that proliferation era are shared between my android and iPad OS.
My iPad pro still has the older original aerofly FS, funny to see the same name in use with the current version.
On PC I’ve kept the very first Aerofly FS for the crisp niceness of the Swiss scenery. It is so easy on my PC’s graphics card that it doesn’t even trigger the cooling fans.

737 cockits have noisy air-conditioning.

The real world is worth simulating, people are not all that unable to work things out.
The logic is obvious when the gear is up and the lever is centred, the next operation has to be gear down. Have users ever said ‘I’m too stupid for all this complicated flying stuff, please hide it’?

Does the Kamov have the banking aircraft symbol attitude indicator? I had a MS FS5 add-on plane with one, it was ... interesting.
Perhaps the next warbird could be a La-7

I found the secret touch zone. I opened the door. In the interior view, the door remains closed, only its shadow moves. In the external view, the door moves, but without glass. It's worth watching the video...
It's worth watching to see how you closed the door. You should go into politics

Right On ThomK,
How about cooling it with the scenery?
It all looks the same with nice bad weather
The important simulator stuff should be inside the windows.

Probably accidentally pressed the door handle
Oh no I didn’t
Turns out there is a no warning, no click operation visual indicator, no confirming sound effect, no Windows-like ‘are you sure’, IRREVERSIBLE booby trap door opening zone along the underside of the right* seater’s arm rest.
The actual door handle does nothing.
This is perfect for mucking about Aerofly users who use a finger to touch empty parts of the aircraft interior in order to pan the view, might that be about 99% of us?
Sorry if my earlier comment about a (stupid) secret touch zone was unkind but …..
-
How do you NOT open the doors in the Baron? Is there some (stupid) secret touch zone?
I didn’t select doors open in my landing checks. -
I'm very anxious imagining these aircraft and being able to take advantage of them and I'm studying each one until that big day arrives.
Just send Tübingen a cheque.

I can only agree, please no more aircraft but a future development with more depth.There are so many things missing to become a simulation. Afs4 has the chance to become a really big player on the market but only if they make the effort to Programm thinks like ATC,real weather,more realistic airfields, movements on the ground and so on.Unfortunately the current development is leading in a completely wrong direction, constantly creating new aircraft without paying attention to those that pay more attention to realism is, in my opinion,the completely wrong approach.Afs4 is a really great simulation and it’s a shame that there hasn’t been much development in terms of realism’s in recent years.
Dear developers, I would be happy if the upcoming things weren’t just airplanes.
The best view in a simulator is the instrument panel. Do we need more opening hatches?

Considering that the nav-aid database is fairly old we ought to be still hearing the approach’s different fan marker tones on finals as we progress towards the (instrument approach) runway threshold and more importantly we definitely should be able to select and listen to the unique nav-aid morse code identification tones in ALL the Aerofly light aircraft lacking glass cockpit displays.
The various ground navigation aids absolutely need working nav-aid audio for the small planes as there is no other assurance that a nav-aid has been tuned in correctly and that it is working properly. MS FSX & FS2020 and all versions of X-plane have it in PC and in mobile. It is an essential requirement in real life flying and the makers of those sims recognise that it is important and worth featuring in their simulators.
Providing navigation device audio can also elevate Aerofly into a more serious league of flight simulation clear of the shallow game mediocrity of ‘flight simulators’ like Sky Gamblers : Storm Raiders and the two letter one.

Multiplayer is definitely something that will change the game DRASTICALLY, and it's wanted by all players (assuming)
No doubt it will become objectively the best sim for mobile
Oh no it definitely is not! ! !
Multiplayer is at the very bottom of my Aero desires, decent sim audio and reflective water is what I want.
-
You're right, I didn't realize this wasn't a mobile thread.
Is it not available as a base plane for some FS2/4 optional aircraft editing package?
-
The 737 variant that few people wanted was given to us because it is so incredibly easy to adjust it to create the shorter 737-800 that so many of us actually want.
Just hold your breath.

VOR, NDB and DME are out dated? Is carrying a paper map (and approach plates if rated) pointless too?
Have you heard the recent YouTube of the inappropriate outlook pilot [not] declaring a MayDay because he was in cloud with two flat battery iPads🤣?
[he was in the U.S.]

Are you using the updates?
Are you using the online global scenery data service?
