I hope we get a 2015 release date.

X plane isn't really that bad.

No, it's not bad but IMHO is not even close to what FSX (with all its flaws) can give us.

Anyway, I was just breaking balls.

This is exciting news.

Hopefully it will be a good enough platform to get the big 3rd party boys on...

That simply looks amazing! The shadows are incredible! :lol:

Aerofly really does look next gen, it just needs a bit more depth - and a developer community with the right tools could easily do just that. Even in its current form, worth buying imho.

Agreed, and purchased on Steam for a mere $24 on sale recently.

I payed $60.00 before it was on steam and no challenges. Just hope we see that update one of these days.

This is indeed good news! I can't wait to see how it develops. Rob

At least some hope for a NextGen FlightSimulator.

MS failed, Prepar3D will fail also because it`s the same engine, X-Plane is no real competitor.

So i put my hope into AeroflyFS and just bit for an unforseeable challenger.

Just got a small update today to correct some problems. But now I have to reconfigure some of my control inputs all over again. You will see some notable changes for the better.

Bought the AeroflyFS iPad app for £4.99 yesterday (£5 for some software, incredible price, how on earth do devs make money these days???). I've been quite frankly stunned by this software. Its enormous fun. The interface (on iPad) is very intuitive. The sense of inertia in the F18 is superb, the cockpits and exterior modelling look crisp and detailed (albeit not very functional), the aircraft all sound great too especially if using the software with good qaulity headphones, the Cessna especially sounds very gutsy. Its tremendous fun...and on an iPad 2 it looks incredible, I really can't get my head around it. Must be getting old! This news about a more enhanced desktop sim is very welcome. These guys seem very clever and we really could be looking at the birth of a new franchise. I highly recommend the iPad app just for shear fun and for playing flight sim on the toilet.....sorry too much information???

 

Cant wait to try that Airbus!

Just saw this today. I'm extremely excited about its future! Might make me feel better because of FS11 never going to exist.

 

I'd buy it right now to support its development if I weren't short of money.

It remains to be seen how flexible their scenery engine is. Current Switzerland scenery is just aerial photography with a few 3D trees.

 

To compete with X-Plane it needs to also be able to generate scenery from raw vector data (like X-Plane, FSX etc.), not just drape 2D textures over an elevation mesh. However if it's open and flexible enough, this could be handled by a third party layer.

 

Also it would be cool with an Android version of the app. Modern Android tablets and even smartphones with quad-core 1.5 GHz CPUs and 2GB of RAM are more than capable.

To compete with x-plane it needs better cockpit systems functionality. I personally love the scenery - i like it better than x-plane and fsx - though I'd like some more high detail areas.
