The new models

The new Update offers 33 new models – more than any other Update before. The new models cover the whole spectrum of this fascinating hobby. 20 new powered airplanes, 8 new gliders, 3 new model helicopters and 2 new jets emphasizing the versatility of this flight simulator.
The new models include such well known models as the Bird of Time and Multiplex Funjet but also exceptionally detailed scale models. This includes a Springfield Hall Bulldog as well as a Beechcraft Baron 58 in two designs and a DC3 with over 10 ft wingspan and 43 lbs flying weight the polished metal skin reflects back-lighting.
In general tremendous effort has been put into scale details on many models. You can marvel at exceptional special functions in almost every model. You can operate canopies, enter stairways or doors on the DC3 the engine cooling louvers open and close automatically. It goes even further, the pilot's head of the new Fw190 with 10 ft wing span moves according to the control inputs of the elevator and rudder. Even the mechanical retract indicator has been modeled exactly after the original.

All new models in alphabetical sequence: Akaflieg SB-13, Beechcraft Baron 58 (two design versions), Bird of Time, Blade 400, Bleriot XI, Boeing B17, Borjet Cam-Flyer Q, Borjet Maja, Caliber 90 Staysee, Christen Eagle, D.H. 89 Dragon Rapide, DG 808c, Douglas DC3, Eurocopter Tiger, FAI Evo Next (FAI-Pylon Racer), Focke Wulf Fw190, Foka 4, Fokker DR1, Freedom Glider, Hall Bulldog, Ju52, Messerschmitt Bf109, Multiplex Curalis, Multiplex Funjet, Multiplex Merlin, Multiplex Xeno, Piper Cub, Sbach 342 (two design versions), Spitfire MK 9, Swift S-1 (two design versions), Tomakawk Design Futura resp. Futura 190 and Wright Flyer.

The new sceneries Five well designed new photo-realistic sceneries are available with the 5.7 Update. They not only invite you for a trip around the world, but offer more location choices than ever before. For example Torrey Pines, California and Venice, Florida; two new flying sites in the United States. Additionally the Multipano function on some scenery's offers change of the pilot position with a simple click of the mouse. All new photo-realistic scenery's are in extremely high resolution and within minutes make you forget your actually flying a flight simulator. With this Update there are now over 50 scenery's available. The new ones are: Torrey Pines (USA), Venice, Florida (USA), Hahnweide (Multipano), Salzburg (Multipano) and Wurmlingen Indoor (Multipano).

Animated instruments Since its introduction the aerofly5 has become well known for its lavishly detailed 4D scenery's. In these scenery's not only all flying sites, tunnels, bridges and buildings are completely computer modeled, even the environment itself is entirely animated. Cloud formations, time of day, and wind are freely selectable. Trees sway in the breeze and you can fly through tunnels or under bridges. This 4th dimension of simulator flying is now topped by the fully animated instruments of the Swift with 16 ft 5 in wingspan. In cockpit mode you will see the moving indicator needle of the altimeter, speedometer or even G-meter just like the full-size glider. And best of all: the instruments display the actual readings during flight for an incredible flying experience!

Interactive Head Tracker System As if the multitude of new models and sceneries weren't enough, the makers of the aerofly5.7 incorporated the link to a head tracker system. This is the control of the line of sight by means of head movement. It is compatible with systems from TrackIR. It requires an infrared sensor mounted at the top of a monitor and a reflector on the front of any available hat or ball cap. The IR sensor is connected to the computer via a USB cable, it senses your head movement (right/left/ up/down) and thus controls the line of sight. This is a true enhancement for the model pilot’s perspective as well as for flying in cockpit mode. A brief look to the side i.e. towards the ground enhances simulator flying even in a more realistic way than ever before.

Individual Graphic Setup

In Version 5.7 you may adjust the display quality via 9 different parameters and thus influence the performance requirements for the graphic card. Directly in the program there are simple adjustment buttons and controllers available like for the display quality of the water surfaces, trees or even for Anti-Alising and HDR-Rendering settings. This ensures that the new Update aerofly5.7 will run on all PCs, which were able to run the predecessor aerofly Professional Deluxe fluently.
