Thanks very much Dr. Z. It looks awesome. Just a couple of points of confusion:

 

- Your post title says Aerosoft FS2 but the video says Aerofly FS 2.

 

- The Aerofly website says that FS 2 is for iOS and Android, but their Facebook page says that they have a PC version coming up (shown in your video).

 

Cheers!

Looks interesting, could be a nice sim to look forward to. From what I heared Aerofly 1 wasn't very realistic FM and aircraft system ise so I hope this will be more complex.

This basically is a lot like the Old Aerosoft FS: great scenery, nice flightfeel but little else.

 

It has no deep systems modeling, albeit some IFR stuff has been added.  Still no complex weather, systems, any AI traffic or living world

It´s really not bad at all. Purchased it two weeks ago and invested 10 hours or so.

It´s a solid base for more improvements to come. I like it.

I just wrote a short Steam Review to honour this nice sim:

 

Well, I must admit that I was kind of sceptic about this title. Back then, Aerofly FS 1 was kind of an flat and unsatifactory experience.
Nevertheless I wanted to support our genre once more and purchased Arofly FS 2.
And I have to say, I don´t regret it. 

Beeing a kind of Hardcore Simmer with decent Setup, it´s not an easy task for a flightsim to meet my expectations.
I use a TM Warthog Hotas together with Track IR and MFG Crosswind pedals displaying on a tripple Monitor Setup.
Mostly I´m busy with DCS. I own every single module, and I used a heavy modified FSX with a lot of A2A modules and all Kind of OrbX add ons. But since there is a lot of trouble getting the FSX on a triple screen setup to run, and considering its age and dozens of add on and tweeks which a neccesary to deliver a contemporary experience, I was always searching for an alternative. ( I don´t like X-Plane 10 though, never got into it.)

FS 2 ist really an easy out of the box Flight sim which should newcomers make the approach to this genre kind of achievable.
It´s very easy to setup the Controll devices and get into the cockpit in no time.
Considering the downsides of FS 1 , the successor really shows an evolution in terms of fidelity.
Interactive Cockpits, dynamic lighting and shadows are state of the art and a very solid base for further improvements which are sure to come.
The visuals are top notch and the FM´s are believable.
If we get some more deepth of system-management, ATC and Add On Terrain and AC´s, I predict this Sim a solid future!
I´m really into it, albeit its known drawbacks!
