Community change to X-Plane: where do we go?

[aceridgey 330]

Nope FSX for me

:)

[BIGSKY 316]

X-Plane has a long way to go, before I move over to that platform.

[Skysurfer7 34]

I wouldn't worry about any other devs for the next 3-5 years(beside p3d), I'm an FSX:er in the FSX-land until then.

Yeah, you as a user need not to worry. But the addon makers need to.

You forgot the word "now" in your sentence. I doubt that you will still say this in 10 years from today.

 

No I highly doubt I will because I hope I'll be on my way to flying a real one But until then FSX is fine, will be 1,000,000x better with the PMDG 777!

X-Plane, while a formidable piece of software, does not seem viable in comparison to the alternatives.

 

I've definitely jumped on the Prepar3D bandwagon with the latest pricing/structuring changes. Not to mention the PMDG announcement that they may start considering the platform in the future.

 

I have to say I am loving it so far. Massive potential for the future and the developers are slowly coming around:

The support on their official forums are top notch as well.

Hehe sorry! Knowing my luck the 777 will get released as I'm going to Oxford to do my ATPL's where I wont be able to fly it for a good 6 Months or so probably! I'm doing modular training so once I'm done with my ATPL's I'll probably have a Month or two before I start my IR, MCC & CPL, that will be where I fly her to the max while I have the chance haha

I think we should wait until we get a simulator done with this graphic engine

[mas618 17]

drooling heavily!!!!

[PGBosak 4]

I keep at my splendidly constructed FSX and will have an eye on the future P3D Development.

 

Personally, can't see any reason to change anything, at the moment.

[RomeoMike 10]

Like most of you said, any change won't be for today, tomorrow, next year or the year after. But definitely there is a change coming up, years from now, and if I interpret R Randazzo's understatement right in that video correctly, developpers already start to prepare themselves. The change is important and solid as it won't be from MSFS X to Y, but from MS to another provider, another system and another technological structure. I was just curious which would be the provider of this platform, X-plane, or, and, if somebody knows more about the rumours that Aerosoft is working on a platform?!

 

However, I'm happy with my FSX for the moment and I do agree that this platform will stay a market for developpers for some years to come.

 

And I'm not a developper, so reading this I wonder what am I worrying about after all.

Ralf, Aerosoft is not working on a platform, they considered it, but did not go ahead. Currently they push for XPL.
