Is it VR optimized?

[JNY]

Is the cockpit clear in VR? I have a quest 3 and I would like to try it in VR... I already have fs2020 and xplane 12 but they are badly optimized in VR

Aerofly FS 4 supports VR very well, yes and the Quest 3 should be supported.

Aerofly FS4 is my go to flight simulator. The main reason is the VR game play, I made a mid level gaming system with an old Dell Optiplex 3020, Specs: Intel I5 4570 CPU @3.20GHz. 16GB DDR3 RAM, 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, Windows 10 ver. 22H2 installed on 120 GB SSD and Game Data installed on a 1TB SSD, using a cabled Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. The game is amazing in VR, it’s a beautiful game, and even on low settings the cockpits and aircraft are detailed. Just being able to look around the cockpit, it is amazing. As of today I have logged over 1000 hours in the FS4 sim. FS4 gets better with each update, with the release of the 737 NG, 737 MAX and Push back. I hope more aircraft are on the way. I have MSFS, X-plane and DCS and they look very good on the flat screen. But once you go VR you can’t go back to a flat screen. There’s nothing like turning your head around in the cockpit and reaching down with a VR hand flipping switches. You are in these planes, and this is what Aerofly does very well. Even on a low to mid range gaming PC. I must admit some of the Airports outside the main game DLC areas are like a Stephen King movie, very creepy with only a lighted runway, and I don’t know what’s going on in Florida, trees on the runways, taxi ways and parking ramps. There must be a glitch in that DLC. But in no way does this keep me from logging flight hours on Aerofly FS4. I have increased my knowledge of the aircraft by downloading the aircraft manuals, watching real airline pilots on YouTube and reading the Aerofly content. Challenge; Have you found the parked Concord. Hint: go to the Airbus A320 factory in France, and look around the airport or is it the other A320 factory? I can’t remember, I was there buying an Airbus for my Sim company. Area 51 stuff was too easy. Yes there are a lot of things that Aerofly could do, but then it would be MSFS, X-plane or DCS. What Aerofly does, is get you flying and in VR there’s not much more you could ask for. I could tell you that landing the UH-60 in the yard at Alcatraz dropping off Seals has its own rewards and flying a F18 through the uprights of the Golden Gate Bridge at 800 knots will make you sweat, along with playing helicopter hopscotch with the tall buildings in Vegas or New York brings forth even more excitement, and it’s all done in VR. And I think Aerofly for that. Aerofly FS4 is a really good Flight Simulator and it is getting better with every update. If you have a Low to mid range Gaming PC get Aerofly and a VR headset, you won’t be disappointed.

Aerofly FS 4 for the VR win. By a mile.

Yes, I love X-Plane and MSFS but Aerofly FS 4 provides the best experience in VR, try it!

[Easystrider]

Agreed.....the best flight sim for VR. It's visuals are nicely optimised, smooth and detailed.
Ok....so it's not as complex as say MSFS, but that's what makes it so easy to enjoy without all the angst that FPS chasing and trying to get a stutter free experience in MSFS involves. Even people with top end hardware struggle in the other sim. AF4 doesn't need that level of hardware to be enjoyed.
Having been a commercial pilot for almost 40 years I feel that flying In VR with AF4 is the most enjoyable visual experience outside of the real thing?
It's a shame that 3rd party developers haven't seen the great potential that this sim has as a result of it's ability to run on lower speced machines....i.e laptops, etc.
But a big thank you to the developers whose recent inputs and updates shows their commitment to AF4.......the Canaries are....wow.......especially in VR, thanks.
Have fun.

ok, but I'm not looking for a simulator that runs on non-performing PCs, but a simulator optimized for VR and it seems that this is it, thanks

Its a grate sim in vr , i hope there also be dogfights possibility in the future...because it runs and look amazing!!
