Oh dear, there goes the neighbourhood

Hello Mike - the Outhouse has been a great resource for years, but since I am using Aerofly FS4 and working towards a Linux environment I only visit to see how they are getting on. Still a great forum, but they just don't cater for my preferred sim.

I had a bit of a read up on Aerofly a while back, as I was thinking about trying it on the Mac. One of these days I’ll get some time. How do you find it?

Hello Ben - At present I am running AFS4 on a pretty modest Win10x64 machine. Very smooth performance, even in 'busy' scenery locations. It is not an MSFS clone, but the small dev team do great work. New stuff just works, without an endless series of updates and hotfixes. You can do fully-planned procedurals, or just potter around low and slow, enjoying the scenery. You can even just programme the flight computer and let the co-pilot fly the route, if that's your thing. There is room for the user community to create their own add-ons, quite like the old UKVFR days, and there are lots of tutorials to help with that as well as flight tutorials for the many aircraft types. Not everything flies like a Cessna 172, although the AFS one does it very well. The AFS Sopwith Camel is a different kettle of fish altogether, and has to learned.
There is a good forum for PC/Mac users - you can safely ignore the Mobile crowd - and the main Aerofly website has the tutorials.
