Aerofly Professional Deluxe - RC-Sim

Aerofly Professional Deluxe

Here it is:
The new Aerofly Pro Deluxe. Immediately I have taken the CD out of the box and put it into my
Pc-drive. The installation runs smoothly without problems. Also the USB-Dongle is detected by
XP without problem. All drivers are installed automatically.
Before we start some data from the Test-PC:
AMD Athlon 2400 XP
Nvidia FX5200 (128Mb DDR)
384 Mb. D´SDRAM
With the first start of the program I feel comfortable. The User-Interface is similar to AFP, so it is
easy to find everything. The controller (in my case the Gamebird) is detected correctly and can
be calibrated in the according menu. Finally allocate your channels and keys for special
functions in the “Controls” Menu.
