My main interest to this new Sim was the focus on flying over Switzerland, with reportedly amazing photo scenery.

When flying at 5,000 ft, you will indeed see a high quality, realistic photo scenery, even superior to FSX with Switzerland Pro. And the frame rates are great too. HOWEVER:

- only a few airports are features in detail (5 to 10 airfields) and all are located in the central area of the country

- autogen (buildings / trees) are only found around these few airports. Everywhere else: no autogen, so a very flat situation once you descend for landing.

 

As commented by another reader, turbulence are quite realistic when you fly in the Alps with a small plane. However, I found the overall flying characteristic a bit disappointing. I had the chance to fly the Robin a few hundred hours in real life; the physics of the model in Aerofly are quite far off and the airplane difficult to land if you are in the "expert" mode.

Hi!

 

Many thanks for this review. I too was thinking of buying this sim hoping to do some flying in Switzerland. It is a shame that not all the airports of Switzerland are included and there isn't complete autogen coverage.

 

Even for Fs9 which I still use I believe you can get most of the airfields in Switzerland freeware thankfully!

 

Many thanks,
