Aerofly FS

[Arclight]

It's dead! Dead I tells ya!

Ow wait, guess what: a new flightsim.

After years of fabricating well-regarded radio-control aircraft sims, Ikarus have decided to have a bash at replicating the real McCoy.

...

Rather than render an entire globe’s worth of scenery poorly, the devs have chosen to do a 41,285 km² chunk of it well. Switzerland is the lucky life-model.

They have a site and such up, but it's all in German for the moment, awaiting translation.

aerofly FS will be available around 16th of December 2011.

Its supplied with english and german language, so you can choose during installation what language you want to use. You can also switch later from inside the program.

So the game's translated, just not the website. Core2Duo 2.5 and a GTX550 Ti or better required to run well. Will utilise more cores if you've got them.

8 fantastically detailed aircraft cockpit with animated instruments
Realistic flight physics
High-resolution landscape of Switzerland complete with up to 1 meter resolution (close to the border regions are included with low aufgelösteren aerial photographs)
Intuitive operation with optional joystick, gamepad, mouse or keyboard
Interactive flight tasks for beginners and professionals
Wind and thermal wind field simulation with graphical display
Superimposable mountain and city names



System Requirements:

Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7
2 GB of RAM
Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2
3D graphics card with 512 MB (as fast as NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT or ATI Radeon HD 4750)
24 GB free hard disk space


A version for Mac OS X will follow shortly.

Taken from their forum and shoved through Google Translate.

40 Euros, no prices for US/UK nor is it showing in those parts of the Ikarus online shop. Yet. Discs only, now download.

Intruiging. Looks pretty, Switzerland is lovely to fly in...
