Does it run better than MFS?

Haha! Yes: way better! I get 20 fps in MFS and 60 fps in Aerofly.

[squashplayer1]

Yes, fps are mugh higher in FS4

Running both sims on a MSI Leopard gaming laptop with a rtx3070.
FS4 runs so much better than MSF. I use virtual desktop to link my pico 4. FS4 runs at 72 fps smoothly and SSW only kicks in over dense population centers.
I have VD set to ultra with h264+ codec. The sim looks great since the global scenery update.

The reason AFS4 runs better is that it not as detailed as MSFS 2020. The MS product uses photogrammetry and the oceans are more detailed. Also there is moving traffic in MS as well as a hugely bigger and photographically accurate world to fly in. I do not think comparing the two is that useful A bit like apples and oranges.

Aero Fly is miles ahead of MSFS. Why Aero fly stands apart from MSFS is the modelling and realism of the aircraft and its systems, especially the flight dynamics. In Aero fly, you feel like your flying a real plane, not like MSFS where your flying a flight SIM game aircraft. Aero fly is an actual flight SIM, not a game. Those guys at IPACS really know what their doing.

Anecdote: 500 people working on MSFS and its plagued with problems 3 years later..."still". Nine people working on Aero fly...and it just works...Period ! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the problem is with MSFS..and it isn't software related.

If the FS4 devs added the following:

- Proper FMC route editing, DIR TO
- Fuel, Weight
- Basic weather
- Better soundpacks

This would be already enough for many people to consider using the lightweight FS4 instead of the other two sims.

Physics are already very good, so if they could add the other things they could attract more users, for sure.

[guidouglas934]

Ive already abandoned MSFS for Aero fly. Aero fly is gonna be a formidable SIM going forward. IPACS isn't done yet.

[squashplayer1]

I am using X-Plane 12 with Toliss. Complexity is better in XP 12.
But I would say, if IPACS could improve FS4 by 20% I surely would use it more often.

I absolutely agree and think these kind of updates should be prefered over adding new planes.

[squashplayer1]

Yes. But I think IPACS is in the difficult situation if they want to serve the mobile gamers with low to medium complexity planes or if they want to increase the complexity and pull some simmers from XP and MSFS. I think most of their revenue might be from the mobile app right now and certainly they don't want to lose these users.

Im for the basic weather but the other 2 I don't need personnally. Im okay with flying by compass heading, moving map, VFR. I surely hope IPACS doesn't complicate it like that other MSFS mess. 😔 Im one for less is more, and IPACS has done that beautifully.

I'm sure you wouldn't ever need to touch fuel, weight, route editing, direct to and so on
for these features to be implemented!...

Probably not. Like I said above less is more. For me anyway.....
