I know I said I was going to calmly spend a month or so learning MSFS 2020 while waiting for AFS4 but those lower MS frame rates and frequent CTD's! ........ They are driving me silly, so I am really wanting our new release.

I bought a new tablet this afternoon. It is a Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 with 8 gb of Ram and 256 gb of storage. First thing I did was go to the Google Play Store and buy FS 2022 which was not compatible with my old tablet. I have installed all 8 regional files and noted that the USA is not there but is all scenery photoreal 2d or are there 3d buildings in certain cities.

Hi, yes AFS2 runs well on lower end laptops. i loved playing it on mine. The only problem is of course storage! My commandeered PC has a couple of TB of space in the hard drive but my laptop was getting very sluggish loading FS2. I did install most sceneries on an external drive but it is not the same. I am playing with MSFS 20 at the moment whilst awaiting the release of AFS4 and surprisingly that runs well on my laptop too! Not at 120 fps though, just around the mid 20's but certainly fast enough to get to learn the new program. I like laptops but you really cannot beat a nice fast PC with a BIG screen.

That plane is amazing! Thanks for posting.

I have been having loading time issues lately with too many scenery files on my Laptop Hard Disk. With the imminent release of AFS4 (and my improved access to my gaming computer when my wife returns to work in the city rather than working from home) I have offloaded AFS2 and all sceneries entirely. For the next month or so I am fiddling with and learning MSFS2020 which is a very different beast, and playing AFS2 on my mobile. Maybe that is what most of us should do rather than get too excited about the upcoming release and whether or not it is going to have our much desired features. Take a step back, optimise our machines, breathe easy and relax. I am sure AFS4 will be well worth the wait.

Not very tech savvy so I was wondering if we could have a sticky about what system requirements are needed for the latest versions of AFS mobile? I am thinking of getting a new phone, one of the Google Pixel 6 pro ones but do not know if that would run the new AFS upcoming release. Similarly, I was also thinking of getting an Apple IPad 10.2-inch Wi-Fi 64GB tablet Would that run the latest IOS AFS version?

Thanks to the devs for providing such a great sim and thanks also to Izojub and the many others who have made our virtual world come alive by their efforts. Merry Christmas to everyone.

I have speech translate tacked onto my opera browser and it works fine for most things. Not sure where the demand to speak English came from historically.

Kingsford Smith in Sydney. After a long flight from overseas it is just wonderful to see Sydney Harbour as we come into land even though we then change to a domestic flight to Adelaide.

I do not care so much about new planes and features, my main interest is in scenery. Will there be any new regions?

Has anyone watched the RFDS series on tv? It is on PBS in the US and Channel 4 in the UK. I love the scenery and the aircraft and maybe others might too if you can get it. They are using actual RFDS aircraft and it set in Broken Hill NSW.

Great stuff Chris. Your efforts are much appreciated.

I think your rig is a little better than mine and I can run AFS2 just fine on medium/high settings. I do not do VR though so I cannot help with that.

Thank you Michael. They do not call NZ the land of the long white cloud for nothing.
-
Mine is bigger/better or faster than yours arguments are going on forever about this or that sim. I have heaps of games that I do not play but at least these posts keep the economy going and encourage developers to continue their work. The best sim is the one that suits you and your set up. When it does not then move on and stop these pointless posts.

If i see over 7000 downloads for 2 years work and only 10 men or woman give a donation - what do you think, what i think?!
If you started doing this as a commercial venture then I can understand your disappointment but it if was a hobby that you wanted to share with fellow pilots then you would be very gratified to see 7000 downloads. Hobbies are time consuming but satisfying. I am sure that what you shared with others was appreciated.

Thanks emfrat for that. I was going to ask how to get rid of the airport runways but keep their location and you have just answered that for me. I am not much of a fan of the cultivation in user created scenery either, so I have deleted places folders in some of it. Just having satellite imagery is preferable to me. I can see my house and local landmarks easily.

What a pleasure it is to fly around my old haunts especially in Sydney where I spent 1965-1972. I loved that city and it took me 3 or more years to consider Adelaide as my home when I moved there. Thank you Michael.
