I have both simulators, so I can compare.

Also, sun does not move, time is fixed. Otherwise, terrain shadows would look rare.

2. What's the poly count and size of the aircraft? Did they model nearly as many trees, buildings, vehicles, etc?
|
There are lots of trees in some places, and there I have same fps for Aerofly FS than in CoD. Anyway, there are only buildings in small to medium cities. In big cities like Geneve, theres absolutely no buildings. The same for large airports.

Performance:
1. How is the flight model? Is is anywhere nearly as complex as IL-2?
|
Flight model of Aerofly FS is far more complex than Il2, it has the long time requested propwash modelled. It's the ideal simulator for aerobatics and advanced maneuvers at this moment.

2. What about A.I.? Are there other aircraft? Are there more than 50 in the air at one time, all doing aggressive maneuvers to try and shoot each other down?
|
Here Il2 wins, there's no AI in Aerofly.

3. Damage model? Is there any? Is the sim keeping track of all the damage being inflicted and how it affects flight? Is it doing this for the A.I. as well?
|
Aerofly FS comse from an RC simulator, and keeps a damage model enough complex to be better than FSX and to cover simple civilina flight needs:

4. Clouds? Are they 3D/Volumetric or are they just 2D sprites that look good, but always look the same from one side? What does it look like to fly through one?
|
Volumetric, progressively hazing it all when entering one. Very realistic.

5. What is the complex engine management like? Does it have any? How complex, how much system resources are required?
|
No complex engine management beyond propeller pitch. Anyway, governor works.
Aerofly is a new simulator, hope it will grow since its very good, but developers need to keep working hard, visuals and flight model are awesome, but no procedures, no MP, no AI, and no recording capabilities... since it comes from Aerofly 5.7 RC simulator, and it already has MP, we'll hope to see it soon.
