I never said that, but it is the belief of others, especially if it comes with a negative review.

You're calling FSX users who post their criticisms about X Plane, "reviewers"?You get funnier with each and every post, Jim.Hard to believe you actually did support for Activesky at one stage.BTW, congratulations on reaching 20,600 posts. Well done!

If I look at all of the flightsim mags the reviewers use fsx. They should rightly criticise some aspects of Xpx when they get around to reviewing it. They are still reviewers. We can't have only Xpx users doing the reviews. All that marketing money LR are spending is not to keep existing users, it's to get new ones who are mostly fsx. Edit . Re reading your post you probably were not meaning anyone who is fsx inclined can't review. Just any comment is not necessarily a review?

Doesn't that say it all.......

Thanks for attempting to speak for me Howard. Your troll-like status gets cemented in concrete with every post you make. For someone who has only been here since September of this year, you sure have a lot to say about a product you don't even like.I welcome reviews of x plane by unbiased reviewers who actually know what they're talking about. When it comes to the FSX users I mentioned, I was talking about people, like our friend, Howard. Look up FSX ###### in the dictionary, and there's a picture of Howard, with a big smile on his face holding up a copy of FSX and giving a big "thumbs up".

No more than XP users cannot be a "reviewer" for FS.Remember all, we all can look back on a certain initial observation posting of XP10 and read all the uproar from folks.

Hard to believe you actually did support for Activesky at one stage.

Thanks, would you like to see screenshots of the awards we have won?

Why? I have no doubt HIFI-sim DID get awards. I bought Activesky 6.5, ActiveskyX and XPax. Fantastic software. Fantastic support. Goes to show that FSX's weather and textures were flawed, seeing as Damian Clark (I'm assuming) saw it necessary to add correct textures and weather.That was my point. It's hard to believe you gave that kind of top notch support back then and now it's a complete turnaround in attitude.And I agree with you, that XP users CANNOT review FSX. I certainly never claimed to be an FSX reviewer.If you decide to come into an XP forum, and start overly criticizing it in degrading tones, would you expect a peaceful response?Come on, Jim. You're a lot smarter than that!

Ahhhhhh.... see, now XP can only be reviewed by people: "who actually know what they're talking about?And who would those people be? Let me guess:XP ######?XP glowing reviewers?Pilots, with how many hours in order to compare flight characteristics?"Sorry, you cannot review XP because you don't know what you are talking about."

There you go again. You're 51 years old and you're being schooled by a 39 year old.You're putting words in my mouth.I said unbiased reviewers.From what I can tell, the reviewers at PC-Pilot and Computer Pilot are professional. They have reviewed X Plane in the past. As well as XPlane add ons. Tom Kylers MU-2 got a 95% in PC Pilot. And IIRC, the PMDG 747 got a 95% as well.Can you accept that? Or is the MU-2 reviewer an XPlane ######?

What inbuilt features, like having the exact weather blotches on Radar over and over and over again like in XP9?"I welcome reviews of x plane by unbiased reviewers who actually know what they're talking about."You wrote it, not me.

Pilots, with how many hours in order to compare flight characteristics?

I'd hazard.....hum....20,603?

"I welcome reviews of x plane by unbiased reviewers who actually know what they're talking about."You wrote it, not me.

Yeah...?Unbiased "reviewers" DO know what they're talking about.

folks can try ..but there has never been an unbiased reviewer in the history of reviewing.

But does it then follow that reviewers don't know what they are talking about because they are biased?

not at all .... Jim, with your comment, it would mean the no reviewer ever knew what they were talking about in the history of the World. Again, you would have to be a baby or an alien to write a unbiased piece.
