I have been trying to find out if there is any progress in the form of a new flight sim to replace FSX? I know Xplane and P3D are out there, but I'm not sold on either of those.

Aerofly FS 2 is in development and is shaping up to be a big step forward over the first version, global scenery coverage being the big new feature.

We're told something is in the pipeline from Dove Tail Games who purchased the license to the franchise from MS.

I met up with Dovetail when they were at Cosford. They were aiming to re-release FSX gold on steam this November or December. They are working on a new flight game due for release next year. They couldn't give many details about their project, but I don't have high hope for it yet. They did seem open to suggestions though and seem willing to to cooperate and listen to customers and current FS devs.

Saw on Facebook that Aerofly are looking to release the new version on IOS first, PC version of their next sim in 2015. https://www.facebook.com/Aerofly.Flights...e=1&fref=nf

Is this confirmed? The global scenery for Aerofly FS 2?

This was posted on their forum a few month back. Seems confirmed to me

Hi Wessel,
the next version of aerofly FS will be a complete new program. The number of internal changes are too big to publish an update.
Especially the ability to fly on the whole earth and new flight physics have forced us to do this step.

Basically all models of the current version however will be available in the next version.

Thank you. That's big. Hopefully v2 will be better marketed and supported than v1.

Thanks Fudge, I was just about to try and track down where I read Aerofly FS 2 will have global coverage, but you've kindly saved me the trouble salute
