Annual poll on platform

[Guggibob 1]

At least happy with the FSX Acceleration Pack on the new OS Windows 10. It works, it flows, only VAS is always a problem to manage.....

[Delta777 272]

I am a dinosaur using FS9, but I am totally satisfied with what I've got.

[cloose 18]

Using FSX:Steam. Currently happy but X-Plane 11 sounds very interesting. If it gets good reviews I might try it.

[Malabo 5]

Mis inicios fueron con el Flight Simulator 98, desde mediados de los 90, el Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 y el Microsoft Flight  Simulator X Profesional Edition junto con Microsoft Flight Simulator X ACCELERATION Expansión Pack, desde hace un año que adquirí el Prepar3D 2.x y mas recientemente lo he actualizado a la v3.3.5. No se lo que están esperando "El personal" para pasarse a P3D una maravilla.

[Hans Hartmann [OLD] 1419]

P3D v3.4... and seriously thinking about dropping FSX compatibility with the next project (whatever it is and whenever it might be released (in the early 2150s))

[Vee One 33]

Happy with FSX SP2. No reason to change except when P3D jumps to 64 bit and all the common addons work great -PMDG, Aerosoft, ORBX, etc...

[BravoDelta 0]

I am currently using FSX:SE and I possible want to test XP10/11 in the next half year ...

[Captain Doctor 128]

I started the FSX a few years ago. I invested many hours (and money) in this programm and sometimes it makes me very sad. But currently the FSX works very fine and I´m happy with this.

In June I read a lot about P3D V3...it sounds very nice, but I´m very busy at the moment.

I hope I can start a new try next year.

Right now on X-Plane 10, but expecting X-Plane 11

As a long time user of MFS (Microsoft Flight Sim) till FSX I was happy but, when P3D showed a vast eye candy and OOM improvement it was a no brainier to switch.

With that being said, a Rig of substantial capacity must be utilized to obtain optimum results.

I like many others in our hobby must continue to stress to the flying community (real and simulated) the need for a simulator of commensurate magnitude with the hardware available. 

[B748_Fan 35]

Using FSX SP2, no plans to change in the next 6 months

[Thundertail 0]

I run many addons in my FSX SP2 and have it configured to suit my personal taste. It is great and I will stay with it :-)

[garel75 4]

I have a B737 home cockpit based on FSX accel.

No plans to move. 

So many sceneries and addons.

It's true that FSX will not update anymore but at least I have a stable system and a joy to fly with my home cockpit after years of 50% tweaking and 50% flying.

Now it's 100% flying and no more tweaking.

 

P3D is in continuos update as I see. Just curious you P3D users: How much of time you dedicate to updating, tweaking and solving issues vs flying?

Updating Prepar3d was a major pain during the 2-series indeed. However, this is history now, normally it's just uninstalling the client and installing the new one, occasionally the same for contents. 15 min every three months.  And perhaps a couple of hours following the fora if there are any issues in advance. For this effort I get a continually improved system which I appreciate very much.

 

Besides, if you want to do Prepar3d a favor, do NOT tweak it. There are a few minor tweaks you can try, but I got rid of nearly all tweaks over time. And if you are not into tweaking, just run it out of the (virtual) box - it does great.

 

To give you a definite answer: I think maintenance:flying is around 25:75 for me. Consider, I do some addon beta testing naturally contributing to the maintenance department, which is my own fault.

 

Kind regards, Michael

I'm using P3D V.3.4.
The results are very good and most importantly L. M. continues to evolve the simulator, something impossible with FSX.
It would be possible to know whether aerosoft is preparing an update to Barajas airport and Barcelona to P3D?
Thank you

FS9 user here

 

To be honest I only looked at the forum because I recently purchased Frankfurt V2.THANK YOU :-)

I know there are not many FS9 votes but I wonder if that many FS9 users hang around here anymore due to the fact there are virtually no Aerosoft releases for the platform now and I guess Frankfurt was probably the last.

I think Latin VFR is making a new Barajas which probably will be compatible with P3D. Don't know about BCN.

[Tobi.E. 15]

Just switched from FSX to P3D v3.35 and so far I am very happy with the new Simulator

[WebMaximus 320]

Well...I hope I'll be switching to P3Dv4 in the next 6 months but couldn't find that choice in the list ;-)

[gram1210 1]

I recently changed to FSX:SE because it was on sale...I bought it ages ago but only started using it when I rebuilt my pc. The main reason for the change was the improvments made to the memory usage, reducing OOM errors.

 

I haven't found an addon that doesn't work yet which is amazing, and love the Aerosoft products especially the Airbus range.

[agedflyer 0]

FSX is still brilliant. Tried Steam but insufficient advantage. Just purchased P3Dv3.4 after giving it time to develop and after watching Rob Ainsclough's videos on utube which show its potential.

[JWS 1]

FS2004 still going strong on the old rig. First get a new rig and finish my cockpit, then a new sim (probably P3D).

 

Regards,

JWS

Happy with FSX and FSX-SE, I have a lot of add-ons invested in it.

 

I have X-Plane but only default GA aircraft which, despite X-Plane claims, do not handle like the real thing IMO.

Although lots of simmers have moved to P3D there is no guarantee that LM (or MS) will not at some point enforce the EULA which prohibits its use as an "entertainment" sim.

[troye 3]

Mainly using FSX SP2, and occasionally FSX:SE, P3D and FS9 in decreasing order.

No plans to switch, unless someone can produce FSX exactly as it is, but in 64-bit.

[CodyB 3]

Mostly on FSX SP2, but starting to experiment with Xplane 10.
