The manual, on page 16, showing how to lift and lower the model off of the ground, has the cursor switched with the turn model cursor. Also an aircraft can be hand launched from a 2 meter height by pressing the J key or 50 meters by pressing the H key. That is very much like hand launching by yourself.

Grab the transmitter stick and start flying. Click and hold the left mouse button and move the aircraft off of the ground. Use the scroll wheel on the mouse to increase or decrease the field of vision.ДЇor a hand launch, place the cursor over the aircraft until the cursor changes to an up arrow over a down arrow. Press the spacebar at any time to return to the original take off position. I also found several undocumented features. The Page Up/Down keys are used to change to different flying areas in a multi-panorama scenery, which is a venue with more than one flying site, like the AMA site in Muncie, IN. Page Down is accomplished by pressing and holding the fn key and tapping the down arrow key.

One way that Page Up on the Mac is accomplished by pressing and holding the fn key and tapping the up arrow key. There are no Page Up/Down keys on my MacBook Pro. The keys 'V' and 'B' are only for switching between the different model positions.' 'In order to achieve the different viewer positions in the multi-pano sceneries, press the Page Up/Down keys. The manual, covering all three versions, documents the Windows versions with no mention of Mac alternate keys.

It is a HUGE application and took many, many hours to download using my very slow DSL connection.ДЄ through reading of the manual was completed while running the program to learn each feature.

Version 7.0.7 was downloaded from the Mac App store on March 31, 2014. There was no manual delivered in the HUGE download. It was a good thing I downloaded the manual. The manual also indicated that the Mac versions were available at the Mac App Store. After checking the system requirements, it was downloaded onto my 17-inch, 2011, MacBook Pro. The search also lead to the download for the manual at /aerofly-rc-7-manual-english.pdf. It is shown correctly on the Ikarus site. The comparison page on the Ikarus Web site shows that the comparison page on the aerofly site is incorrect. Using the aerofly compare page, it seemed that there was a difference in what was listed for the Standard Windows version and what I received as a download for the Mac.

There is a comparison chart on the aerofly Web site ( that compares the features of the Standard, Professional and Ultimate versions of the program. The Google search also lead me to the aerofly RC 7 Web site, where they noted that the Mac version is available in the Mac App store. With the MI sales tax added, it was $47.69. The Standard version was listed for $44.99. Typically, RC rotary flight does not require as large a field of vision as airplanes.ДЄ visit to the Web site listed in the ad, found all of the Mac versions listed as out of stock.ДЄ Google search lead to the Mac App Store where aerofly RC 7 is available as a download. Most RC flight simulators are good for learning the basics of rotary flight. Since I only am interested in non-rotary aircraft, I concentrated on the functions and features for them. The perspective is not correct and the peripheral objects, to help the pilot stay aligned with the runway at the real field, are not available on the virtual display.ДЄfter using the previously mentioned simulators, I believe that even the $20 NitroPlanes Windows based flight simulator, with the USB 6-channel transmitter-type game controller, is 'good enough' for RC flight training purposes. NONE of the previously mentioned simulators provided the field of vision found at the flying field. I'm not a huge fan of RC flight simulators for learning to fly RC planes. The Dynam controller now comes with the ClearViewSE RC Flight Simulator.

I've owned, and used, four other RC flight simulators the Dave Brown simulator for the Apple IIe/GS, MachineWorks NorthWest: CockpitMaster, Reflex XTR, and the free FMS flight simulator supplied with a Dynam USB 6-channel transmitter-type game controller purchased from NitroPlanes. The interesting thing, for me, was that there was a Mac version. I remembered seeing an ad for the new aerofly RC 7 RC Flight Simulator on page 119 of the April 2014 Model Aviation.

With my left arm in a sling for at least six weeks, while recovering from rotator cuff surgery, I needed something to occupy my mind and time. Review: aerofly RC 7 RC Flight Simulator for the MacД®ditor: The Ampeer Electric Flight NewsletterД®lectric Flyers Only (EFO) of southeastern Michigan
