I still use Aerofly Pro Deluxe.  FS One from Horizon looks promising.  I
didn't get much time on it after waiting an hour for the install to finish
(4 CD's - take a while).  I was helping a local HS owner with the install
and ran out of time to fly it much after that delay of game, but it appears
to have good flight physics.  The sceneries look great, realism factor seems
high.  One thing I didn't like is that it is slooooooooow to load up if you
change a scenery or a model.  The computer exceeded minimum requirements for
clock speed, memory, processor type. Not sure about the graphics card she
had in it though, but the delays were getting new objects loaded, not in the
flight response.  The controller has some good features.  You hit a button
on it to re-start when you crash, so you don't have to hunt & peck the
keyboard.  I think it's worth a test drive.

 

Aerofly Pro Deluxe is still my favorite though.  There's a zillion 3rd party
add-on sceneries and models out there. One scenery enhancement I found is
the 3D Farm Grid.   It throws up an aerobatic box frame as a reference in
the sky.  I found that I had to adjust it to make it appear to be placed at
a distance that looked right.  You can edit a text configuration file to
move it around and change other dimensions, such as the size of the loop
reference in the center of the box.  One of the most entertaining things
about Aerofly Pro Deluxe is flying indoors.  It's a hoot. You can eventually
figure out how to land on top of obstacles like the hanging scoreboard or
fly knife edge along the edge of the gym and snake it through the corridor
and out the door.  Once you're outside, the wind kicks in  (if it's on).
You can fly around the outside gym building, land on the dome roof, back it
down the dome, fly away and try to re-enter the building.  You can pick
ridiculous options just for fun, like a 40% Cap indoors.  You have juuust
enough room to get it in the air and do a 3D Wall before smacking into
something.  Then you are on the edge of your seat keeping it in the air
inside the gym without hitting anything and eventually do a Harrier landing.
Lot's of fun.

Hi all

 

I am thinking about buying a simulator and wanted to hear the current
thinking from the list.  What simulator do you have and how well does it
work?

 

Thanks.
