aerofly 5
Just my luck. Or, just the way it goes when you buy anything tech: my copy of the fantastic RC flight simulator, AeroFly Professional Deluxe arrived last week.
As an aside, this is another typical example of brick and mortar losing out to an online purchase. I approached a well-known hobby store in Centurion with the request to order me a copy of the Mac version of AeroFly Professional. Since the Mac version is not a stock item, I was told that I’d receive a call indicating how long I’d have to wait. So I waited. And waited. No call, and certainly no indication of any kind as to whether or not the rather expensive software could or would be ordered. I did the only logical thing: hopped onto the IKARUS website and ordered online. Once again, the total cost including shipping and currency conversion was quite substantially below the in-store price I had seen. A brief wait of two weeks, and AeroFly flew into my post office box.
The simulator software on DVD and a cable to connect a radio are both included in the box. A huge variety of aeroplane and helicopter models is included, ready to fly.
And crash…
That’s AeroFly Professional Deluxe. In March 2010, the new aerofly 5 will be released, featuring a number of interesting enhancements.
If you’re looking for a high-end RC flight simulator, I can highly recommend AeroFly. Though I’d advise you to wait for the new version next year… And: order online!
