Realism of histart and winch launches (pop-offs, folding wings, stalls)

Thermal behavior (random spawning, visual indicators such as dust, birds/bugs)

Thermal behavior (wind and sun effects)

Thermal hunting (being able to see the changes in attitude that indicate the plane is fly through/on the edge of a thermal)

Thanks!

Status: offline 		Graystar, I'll try to give you some idea with some screenshots which I have taken using different setups for launching, wind/thermal conditions and different sceneries. You can set the wind and thermal conditions using customs settings or preset settings (calm, windy, dynamic soaring, slope soaring). Some sceneries have preset dynamic and slope soaring wind conditions e.g. Parker Mountain, while others like Norrison Island have preset dynamic soaring. In any case, you can customize your own wind/thermal conditions. By ticking the "show winfield in simulation", you can view the wind vectors and thermal funnels live! The thermals normally get much larger the higher you go (>100 feet). You will have to look for them as they do not stay in one place. The thermals also do not go straight up, sort of leaning as the wind gets stronger.

Status: offline 		In each scenery, you can select (by toggling the v and b keyboard buttons) different launching locations and launching methods (i.e. by hand or winch). You can set the winch speed, and for hand launch you have a few options including to launch 50 meters higher (pressing the h button repeatedly will launch the glider much higher).

I'm sure the answer is yes, but I'd like to check anyways...will areofly 5 work at 2560 x 1600? I have a 30" monitor.

My computer may be a bit underpowered...AMD 2.8 GHz, 2GB RAM (fastest for this computer,) and a GeForce 9400GT with 1GB RAM. I may upgrade to a 2.9GHz dual core, if it will make a significant difference in performance.

Do you know if it possible to order an English language version of Aerofly 5 yet from the Ikarus eShop Whilst I can browse the shop in English it is not very clear if software is in fact in English ?

thanks,

Tony

Sorry if I'm being dense, if I order it today all the menus will be in English (having selected that option) but if I want to look at the manual it is in German since the English version is still being worked on. At some point in the not so distant future there will be a patch that will include the English manual ? Is that correct ?

thanks,

Tony

I've worn-out my G2; I fly it everyday, but have no interest in upgrading to G5. I don't like the direction that Realflight has gone over the years; I'm not looking for 'air combat' for example.


On the other hand, Aerofly 5 seams to be more focused on the features that are important to me:

* flight & wind dynamics
* Aero towing/sailplanes
* Selection of aircraft offered greatly appeals to me
* I love that they have the AMA Muncie flying site - one of my favorite places to fly. Maybe they'll offer the Joe Nall flying site one day - hint, hint!

Like the rest of us on this thread, I'm also looking forward to the release of Aerofly 5; can't wait!!!

Joe

I'd really like to see a C-130, if you don't mind passing this along to IPACS.

Here's mine:

£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
