Hi,
XP can be a good simulator, too. I use it for training as well. Its aerodynamics are not as great as the aerofly's, of course, but they are (a whole lot) better than fsx aerodynamics!
For me a good mixture of all simulators does the job.
And I don't think that any other sim is "stealing" costumers from aerofly.Each simulator has its down side for the "professional simmers", so you only get everything by buying each sim:
You either have bad graphics with horrible frame rates with incredible system depth (FSX) or
not as deep systems, better aerodynamics, one of the worst user interface I've ever seen, but at least fluid until it melts your GPU (X-Plane) or amazing looking scenery and aircraft with realistic flight behaviour, a nice user interface, when the gpu goes back to sleep while maintaining stable FPS (AeroflyFS) but without much system depth (yet, maybe).I don't think Aerofly will be available for free in the future.
How would they earn money with that?
Advertisements? No thank you- "If something is for free you may be the product."
Cheers,
Jan
Anyone who just wants to get the game, and have easy flying right away and crash into buildings and fire torpedoes at eachother will go for xplane 10.
