It seems like every year (for years), around Christmas and New Years, I get the urge to buy or start flying AFS again.

This year was no exception, and I must say AFS4 is quite impressive with all of the updates and additional planes etc.

I enjoyed several flights in stutter-free, buttery smooth, 4K (monitor, not VR) and each was very enjoyable.

Are there the usual drawbacks?  (silly clouds, no rain, no moving traffic, silly water)

But advantages, too - like downtown buildings and trees are visible and CLEAR for miles and it's all so crisp and smooth.

I had a lot of simming time today and I found myself flying AFS4 for most of it and kept RETURNING to it this go-round as those other two were annoying me in various ways.

In any case, I find I'm getting a lot more hours of entertainment out of my initial on sale outlay whenever it was.

If you own AFS4, maybe do the update and have a go at it, see what you think.

And if on the fence, at least for me not a bad purchase at all.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Thx so much for sharing your thoughts and experience @Republic DC9 🙏

AEFS has been a flightsim I revisit whenever  @HiFlyer brings News about it, and it surprises me rather positively each time I do so !
