How I Learned To Like Aerofly FS2

Aerofly Rc-7 Review An Excellent Simulation

It's not particularly common to start areview with the verdict, nor with a personal statement before theactual review starts. However, shortly before I sent my text toFlightSim.Com's Dominic Smith (who kindly asked me to review AeroflyFS2 in December 2017), I wanted to make sure that he would be happywith my reviewing approach. As such, I asked him if I could includesome comparative remarks regarding the other big simulators we haveall come to know - MSFS and X-Plane. Well, after using Aerofly FS2extensively over the past few months, I can honestly say that thenumber of simulators I now use, has jumped from two, to three - suchhas been my enjoyment (that is my verdict)!

In my early days of flight simulation, I used FS2004 and FSX, thenmy focus shifted to X-Plane 9 and then more recently to X-Plane 11 andPrepar3D. Prior to starting this review, I had assumed I'd simplyremove Aerofly FS2 from my hard disk once the article was finished.However, to my surprise I didn't. I still fly with Aerofly FS2, andthis review is the story of that surprise.

Flight & Prejudice

Aerofly Rc-7 Review An Excellent Simulator

I did not know much about Aerofly FS2 before I started this review,but like most people with limited information, I came to an uninformedopinion and simply said, 'I won't use that'. You see, I had judgedAerofly FS2 way back when it was initially released as early access,and my ill informed decision was based solely on some screen shots ofthe user interface, weather settings (simpler even than X-Plane), andaircraft without (it seemed) any system depth. Positive things I readabout, like very good frame rates (FPS), I rejected when I saw screenshots of the scenery: 'Well, that's just static photo scenery', Isaid, 'autogen only in very few areas, everywhere else is flat, noanimations of car traffic or water - no surprise really that FPS aregood!' That was it, for quite some time, until Dominic emailed mewith ideas of a possible review.

To be honest, my first impressions were still rather negative whenI first installed Aerofly FS2. For a start, the user interfaceappeared really large on my 1920x1080 screen (as if it was made for amuch smaller touch screen), plus several options I was used to seeingin simulators were missing, especially regarding weather, startingposition, and flight planning. Overall, it felt like a simple flyinggame, and while I'm totally fine with flying games (and even thinkthey are needed to get younger people into this hobby), I was stillwondering what Aerofly FS2 could offer me over X-Plane 11 andPrepar3D. So I took a deep breath, pushed my expectations aside andset out to discover new lands (for myself anyway).

These lands, by default, consist of the Southwestern USA, Utah, andColorado; these regions are available either in the base download oras free DLC. In addition, Aerofly FS2 developer IPACS sell add-onsforSwitzerland(which I have purchased) andNortheastern USA.ORBXhave also converted their scenery for Innsbruck, Chicago Meigs,Monterey and Eagle County (from which I have purchased two, and I'llcome back to those later in the article). Our friends at Aerosoftoffer the German island ofHelgoland.This is, so far, everything available for Aerofly FS2 in terms ofscenery (at time of writing). Unfortunately other areas of the worldonly exist as low-res photo textures without any definition. You canfly there if you position your plane on the moving map, but it's notmuch fun without airports.
