If anyone else is interested in buying a second hand copy of Aerofly professional deluxe then upgrading to Aerofly 5 this is how much it cost me ...

£40 for a second hand copy of Aerofly professional deluxe
£116 for the Upgrade to Aerofly 5 (including shipping to the UK)

£156 is a bit cheaper than £220 for a new full version

Any clues as to the system requirements for the Mac version of Aerofly 5?  I can not seem to find anything but the requirements for the Windows version.  Perhaps they won't release them until March as well.  I have a freshly unboxed Mac Mini 2.26Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB ram, and a Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics card 256 MB Vram.  I would wait for the March release date for the new version if I knew it would work with my system.  I suppose I would be curious to know if AFPD would work with my system.  Thanks for supporting the fruit and penguin segments of the computer world.

Not yet. Probably closer to the release timeframe of March-April.

One of the captions about Aerofly 5 on their web page says "All new flight physics", and I saw your comments about the Aerofly 5 flight physics in Post 36.

I used AFPD for a while, but switched to FS One, which has great flight physics for practicing advanced aerobatics. However, since FS One is no longer supported, I am on the lookout for an equally realistic simulator. I am hoping that Aerofly 5 will stand out in this area compared to the other simulator choices. I would appreciate any feedback about the flight realism of Aerofly 5 for advanced aerobatics.

The best way is to give it a hands on test yourself. I use it on a daily basis for both IMAC and 3D style flying.

Just got info that the English manual is available now. So, you could order directly from Ikarus Germany. I have no info on when Hobbico is going to get them on their shelves, but I will provide an update as soon as I can.

RoysterDW

Yeah I noticed the manual on thier web site last night. So is the software in english?

rajul

My Feedback: (58)

Yes, there is a language option in AF5.

RoysterDW

Theres a big difference in price for the USB version vs the Upgrade. If I have AFPD I gather all I need to buy is the upgrade since I have the USB dongle?

rajul

My Feedback: (58)

Yes, you're right. You use back the same AFPD usb interface cable.

RoysterDW

Cool thanks [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Will order the upgarde and save a few fun vouches! Hope its in english!

RoysterDW

Yahoo just ordered Aerofly 5 Upgrade!

Looking forward to seeing how good it is. Will report back on my thoughts

Do I need to uninstall the AFPD before installing upgrade version of aerofly5?

rajul

My Feedback: (58)

There's no need to uninstall AFPD. In fact I have both AFPD and AF5 on my desktop. You share the same usb interface cable or gamecommander if you get the upgrade disk

RoysterDW

Good to hear Mike thanks [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Hey rajul, I would guess that it is WAY too late to offer up my system for beta testing (nudge, nudge, wink, wink...) on Aerofly 5 for Mac. I am only mostly joking about this one. At least I would know if it would work or not with my system. I would probably not be seen as a good tester in any case. OTOH, I don't really mind supporting a company that writes good software for the Mac, I just can not really afford (or justify, for that matter) both versions. If the release date of AF 5 was six months from now or if it would definitely not run on my system, it would be no question. Get AFPD now and have 6 months worth of fun and practice, but one month...... (Be patient, he whispers to himself, under his breath.....)

If I order AFPD in the states can I get the upgrade to AF5 upgrade here yet?

rajul

My Feedback: (58)

Alan, the upgrade is not available in the US yet but you can get it directly from Ikarus Germany right now.

I just talked to Great Planes in Champaign, IL about the Aerofly 5 Mac upgrade and the gal had no knowledge of the upgrade and she will be talking to her product manager and buyer to get a status. I am hoping the Great Planes Distributor will order it. I remember when I purchased my Aerofly for the Mac the only place that was selling it was from the Sussex Model Centre in England. I sure hope I do not have to go through the hassle of ordering it through England again. Sussex were great guys to deal with but I had to order it at 1:00AM in the morning. Rajul I am using my DX7 with my simulator. I have a question will the patch 5 work fine with my existing Aerofly cables? Thanks let me know if you have that info.

You will need to download the latest patch and install it.
