aerofly FS
Aerofly FS is a highly realistic flight simulator for macOS, Windows and Linux, designed for hobbyist and professional pilots. It features a detailed fleet of over 20 aircraft including airliners (A320, Boeing 737, 787), business jets, general aviation planes, helicopters, and warbirds, each with fully interactive 3D cockpits and realistic flight dynamics. The simulator includes worldwide flying with over 7,000 airports, photorealistic scenery, real-time air traffic based on live flight data, customisable weather and time of day, and support for flight control hardware like joysticks, rudder pedals and throttle units. Mission preset functionality, instant replay, and optional autopilot and copilot features cater to both casual flyers and serious simulation enthusiasts.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAerofly FS has a native Apple Silicon build and runs natively on M-series Macs with full optimization. The latest versions (Aerofly FS 4 and newer) feature native macOS implementation, as confirmed by recent reviews and the developer's system requirements, which specifically list Apple Silicon GPU as the primary supported configuration. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, simply update to the latest version through Steam or the official IPACS website — the current installer will automatically serve the native macOS/Apple Silicon build on M-series hardware, and you will see noticeably improved performance and battery life. No beta channel or special configuration is needed; the native build is the standard distribution.
