Thanks Tom. Hmmm . . . 0.8 % . . . Some distance to go if that poll is to be meaningful. I do hope more members participate.

FS9 as I don't have powerful enough computers to be able to run FSX at decent settings with decent performance. Ironically, I got FS9 a year AFTER using FSX.

For me it is the all brand new FSX/DX-10.

MS Flight for me.

 

Better graphics (by far)

Better performance

More realistic flight model

Incredible lighting (fly low early in the morning or late at night and you'll see what I mean!

More stable

Better sounds (by far)

More realistic water landings.

Can bounce off water with tundra tires.

Better crash effects (better collision model - can scrape trees)

Trees look far better

Water looks far better

More realistic wind and turbulence effects.

Better clouds

Better aircraft graphics overal (shadows, appearance of glass, internal lighting/reflections/feel of immersion in aircraft, and yes I'm comparing with available payware)

I don't need ATC

I don't need heavy iron - it's flying for fun, not for procedural practice

Better ground handling

Really, are people still that hung up on FSX???

MS Flight for me.

 

There's a bunch of them. The FLIGHT crowd may catch the Xplane or other bunch :)

FSX for me! Great addon and friendly userbase.

Happy Flying,

Clem Wu

The DX10 patch/hack has really transformed my FSX in an unbelievable way. Today I was able to fly around in thick, nasty overcast Sandy conditions with OpusFSX and my FPS NEVER dipped below 30FPS. And when I say never dipped, I mean ROCK solid in and out of clouds using 4X SGSS with BLOOM, stutter free!

I'm using FSX, and due to the huge amount of money I spent on addons, I will stick to FSX. Maybe I'll move on, if one day there'll be a really great alternative.
