October 14, 20169 yr I was wondering if the sceneries in AeroFly will expand to NYC, Hawaii, etc. This sim reminds me of Flight Unlimited. If it wasn't for FU I-III, I would not be a CFII today. I'd also love to see some AI, ATC for vfr & ifr ops, ASN type weather generator, and Realair GAs. So far I like the direction is heading. TKS MSFS
October 14, 20169 yr I like the direction it's heading, too. I don't like the fact that no one of our beloved addon makers seems to be dedicated to supporting it or even noticing it, though.

October 14, 20169 yr Well, truth is, there's a very nice-looking Q-400 on it's way right now, and an R-22 too ( if I'm not wrong, it's a 22 ? )... http://www.ipacs.de/forum/showthread.php/7564-Bombardier-Dash-8Q-400 Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
October 14, 20169 yr I was wondering if the sceneries in AeroFly will expand to NYC, Hawaii, etc. This sim reminds me of Flight Unlimited. If it wasn't for FU I-III, I would not be a CFII today. I used Flight Unlimited 3 (and the FU2 San Francisco scenery) exclusively between 1999 and 2008, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I agree that AeroFly FS2 is looking more and more like a modern version of this legendary flightsim series, and I am keeping a close eye on it. If they create a solid ATC system for it, and add lots of good looking AI planes and flightplans, then I will probably join the club :smile: Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
October 14, 20169 yr As a long time ELITE user, with some investment in their excellent hardware and simulators, I am glad to have been able to call one of their team's member his attention to the SDK, and he will try to find some way to make ELITE HW work with Aerofly FS 2, in his spare time - nothing official but still promising!!!

I still have the DVDs that an avsim member sent me of a UK scenery for FU3. That sim is still IMHO, is the best sim ever created. It will be very hard to replicate. FS2004 did not do it. FSX add-ons have not done it. What's the special quality I'm speaking of? The sim made me feel like I was really flying a plane. ATC & the weather depiction was so immersive. It brings tears to my eyes. :wub: MSFS
October 14, 20169 yr Yes, Flight Unlimited 3 had a very special "atmosphere", and it was (IMO) head and shoulders above FS2000/2002 in this department (and quite a few others).

November 2, 20169 yr Their roadmap is here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/434030/discussions/0/350532536105161885/ It has been a bit quiet for several months now. Most likely they are working on some major update (ATC, perhaps?). I wouldn't expect a huge amount of DLC/add-ons while the sim is still in early access. They should be focusing on finishing the base sim rather than using these resources to create add-ons for an unfinished product. However the they will release SDK's so anyone can make free or paid content. -
November 2, 20169 yr The current California scenery is stunning, especially the detailed cities. And performance is spectacular - I mean 200+ fps, but of course, that has to do with lack of system depth, weather, AI etc. AFS2 were feature in PC Pilot not long ago and they disclosed many interesting things on their roadmap. The SDK is being tested by external developers, expand functionality of the A/P with LNAV and VNAN, AI Traffic, a simple ATC and then some. Golden Age of flight simming is here!

November 2, 20169 yr Like I have mentioned previously, if they can get decent ATC, AI planes, and high resolution photoscenery across the entire south western USA region, I couldn't care less if they never add any more scenery areas. What I want to see is super high detail in a regional area, not "yet another global simulator with bog standard basic graphics over 99% of the planet".

November 2, 20169 yr Couldn't agree more Chris! Time for someone to let go of the global scenery focus, and create a real high fidelity regional scenery flight sim in the style of GTA, Truck Simulator, Unigene etc. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
