Aerofly FS en Simware

[TUCKIE_JG52]

Creo que ni ellos mismos se esperaban el interés que está suscitando este simulador, por lo que inicialmente se han dedicado a recoger opiniones.

 

Simware ya lo distribuye, y el comunicado habla de nuevos addons:

 

• All aircraft are extremely detailed and feature accurately simulated flight performance

• Fly in a realistic environment with a resolution down to 40 in.

• Freely selectable wind, view, clouds and thermals

• Many interactive Flight Challenges

• It can be controlled by any joystick, game pad, key board or mouse

• Extremely detailed aircraft with RealSound-Technology

• Fully functional instruments in all cockpits

• Many special functions: Retracts, flaps and more

• Moving Map in the cockpit and inside an extra display window

• Autopilot function

• Winch start for gliders

• Many accessible airfields with hangars and buildings

• Perfectly simulated flight physic

• Interfaced with TrackIR (viewing angle and zoom controlled via head movement)

But the aeroflyFS is also in many other aspects quite special, as it combines easy and intuitive program operation with perfect flight physic simulation. The makers of this simulator, Dr. Torsten Hans and Dr. Marc Borchers, both PPL pilots, developed together with their team of programmers, CAD designers and experienced sport and professional pilots a simulator, which can be adapted incredibly easy to different user preferences.

Aircraft to fly :

Cessna 172 Skyhawk

With more than 43,000 units built, the Cessna 172 aircraft is one of the most built airplanes in the world. The docile flight characteristics make it an ideal trainer aircraft.

In the cockpit of all our aircraft the control stick, throttle lever and flap lever move in sync with your control inputs. In addition to the heading indicator the Cessna features also an animated magnetic compass and - as a highlight and an additional guidance - a moving map which follows the map of Switzerland.

McDonnel Douglas F/A-18 Hornet

The F18 is a twin-engine combat jet, which was designed primarily for use on aircraft carriers. Its high versatility and long range ??made it attractive to Air Forces around the world. Over time numerous countries purchased the F18, including Switzerland . The F18 is ideal to quickly cover larger areas of Switzerland. The muffled roaring of the afterburners is a further performance indicator of the F18.

Due to the high speed performance the F18 has a special significance in the aeroflyFS. But at any time it is still possible to change the airplane even during flight. So you can very easily gear down from jet to leisurely speed to discover the infinite details of the Swizz scenery.

Jodel Robin DR 400 / 140 B Major

The DR 400, lovingly nick named "Remo" (in French “remorqueur” means tug/tractor) is used in many flying clubs as a popular aircraft for towing gliders. The four-se low wing aircraft with its big canopy is also often used for sightseeing flights.

In aeroflyFS it impresses for its excellent panoramic view, too. It is an ideal aircraft for visual and instrument flight.

Pitts S-2B

The distinctive looks, aerobatic performance and unique sound of the Pitts helped to achieve worldwide fame. The sound is uniquely replicated, whether experienced in the cockpit or in outside observer's perspective. Now this one sounds like a real Pitts!

Discus bM

The Discus, manufactured by Schempp Hirth in Germany, is an exceptional glider. Between the years 1987 and 1995 the Discus did win every World Championship in the Standard Class! The "bM" version is equipped with a retractable Rotax engine with 35 kW power output and is therefore able to take off on its own.

Besides the possibility of ground take-off due its built-in retractable engine, you can also decide to winch launch it on the aeroflyFS.

Swift S1

The Swift S1 is a distinct aerobatic glider design. At its first appearance at a World Championship this machine of Polish designer Markula Marganski left the competition far behind. To date, the Swift is considered the benchmark in glider aerobatics. Nevertheless, the production was terminated after only 30 gliders built. Like the original, the Swift S1 shines in aeroflyFS with an outstanding roll rate making aerobatics real fun.

Sopwith F1 Camel

This single-seat WWI combat plane was indeed in its time a very widely used aircraft, but even today it is still considered a difficult to fly biplane. This is a result of the rotary engine, whose rotating mass is not easy to compensate in tight maneuvers. The engine delivered 130 hp and generated a top speed of 185 km/h. The sound, the view from the cockpit and the realistic flight characteristics let you experience exactly the feeling early pilots had when at the stick of this biplane.

Extra 300 LX

The aerobatic aircraft Extra 300 LX is the two-seat version of the world-famous single-seat aerobatic aircraft designed by Walter Extra. It is characterized by an extremely high level of maneuverability and rigidity. The two pilots sit in tandem formation. The front cockpit is equipped thriftily just like the original.

 

Set Content :

Ya me ha llegado desde Alemania... con gasto de envio de 4 euros. No 20 como pretendía esta gente. Bueno es tener conocidos allí. Habrá que probarlo.

[TUCKIE_JG52]

Japo, no lo comenté, pero aún aceptando esos 20€ de gastos de envío, al final resultaron quedarse sólo en 10. Como envío es caro, pero la curiosidad mato al gato

[Japo32]

Muy bueno el simulador! Las texturas son la leche!!

Pero lo mejor para mi es como simulador de vuelo sin motor. El resto quizá si para hacer acrobacias como dices.. pero a mi me tira más el vuelo sin motor ya que fué lo que hice en realidad.

[J.Hearfield]

Buenas. Ya sé que este simulador no está muy extendido ni se usa mucho dadas sus limitaciones. El caso esque han salido una serie de addons y quisiera saber si alguien ha probado alguno. Si merecen la pena o añaden alguna mejora como manejo de instrumentación, etc. gracias y un saludo.

Nada de meteorlogía ni de cambios horarios, está muy limitado en estos aspectos. Tampoco hay tráfico aéreo ni terrestre, ni comunicaciones ni radioayudas para la navegación. El terreno aunque tiene un buen aspecto para volar a medias y altas cotas, está muy pelado exceptuando algunas zonas y aeródromos muy puntuales.

La parte fuerte de este simu es el comportamiento aerodinámico de los aparatos, creo que es un buen simulador para practicar por ejemplo tomas y despegues con distintas configuraciones de vientos, pues esto está bastante bien simulado a mi parecer. Sobre el tema de los veleros yo no te puedo decir gran cosa pues no los he probado, soy un completo neófito y desconozco el como proceder con los mismos. Pero comentan que está a la altura y el entorno es ideal para éstos.

 

Saludos.
