I just recently got into this simming  stuff this year and from what I see this forum ( you guys ) are the heart and soul of this whole experience. You are so helpful with your advise. Just to read your ideas like in this post is so helpful to guys like me.

  There are a lot of great add ons ,but if it wasn't for guys like you, simming wouldn't be what it is today. Thank you so much!

I think we still have a steady stream of newcomers, they just don't tend to be very vocal for the first few months or years 

I'm looking to P3D v2.0 personally. They have made public their efforts to maintain backwards compatability with older BGL's and for this they will definitely get my money.

 

It's quite possible that v2.0 could be the FSX we've all dreamt of for years. DX11 compatible thus removing a lot of the CPU cycles required to render what you see on your screen. Could be a major game changer.

definitely a future for FSX even though its a 2006 program that was awfully coded!!!!!  Look how many people are still simming, I am disabled with 18 operations in the last 9 years, my last one was april 22, 2013, total right hip replacement, but I am still flying, what would I do without FSX ???

 

Developers come and go, but we have our faithful out their, and when is the next time I am going to throw another $50.00 out for fsx??

 

A lot too lok forward to......

Lol yeah sorry about the mistaken ZZ reference, that's just where I heard the line

 

Yes, but those shades could be some "cheap sunglasses"

And, especially, for the fact that MS abandoded the project some years ago by shutting down the whole studio that developed the sim.

 

Never a truer word has been spoken. The developers now have to time to "develop" rather than play catchup. I think it's also true, now that improvements to the sim come from 3rd party developers only, that we now have more combined "brain power" with a vested financial interest to push this sim in wider directions. This of course can only be good for the consumer.

Beat me to it! :-)

Be using fsx for years as long ad computers can run it. Deversity of add ons will grow as will new ways to improve fsx just hope by 2020 computers will be to still run fsx. Some add ons should be dedicated as historical to ensure they can be sold 60 years from now.

Yup prepar3d it is. Not loving X-Plane just yet, might never but choice is good.

 

I still bet on p3d...

 

Things will work themselves out, they always do

And then, all of a sudden, you read something like this:

 

http://flightsimcentre.org/forum/topic/microsoft-have-stopped-activations-on-fsx

If future operating systems that come standard on computers can't run FSX, then the platform may run into trouble.

Microsoft will continue to activate our sims. I don't know where he got that info from.

 

And the solution He is trying to find, is plain and simple piracy.

I gotta say, if LM didn't step in on the platform, someone else would have.. the platform is a worth a lot of $$$ so future for fsx would have been bright regardless of LM.
