2013 has been a good year for me and FSX.

I don't know where to begin...

Lets see...

I have always been a DX9 flyer until now.

But with the DX10 Fixer, it seems I'm now a DX10 flyer. I absolutely love DX10 with bloom.

First thing to notice was the black squares in FTX Global gone.

And FTX Global is such a huge improvement that it's a MUST for everyone, like a new simulator.

I also got the 737NGX, steep learning, but so rewarding.

And the last few days, I have been introduced to the Twin Otter, really fun aircraft.

I Of course have REX and weather software...

Now I'm looking at the A2A 172, afraid that I can't go back to my Carenados if I get that one ;-)

FSX starts to shine, thanks to all developers putting so much effort into this older sim.

 

FSX will never be "complete" for me I guess, but its very good at current state, and that leaves room for the developers.

 

BUT, I miss something...

A good ATC for offline.

And Ground traffic enhancements.

 

So much to do...

 

Thanks for reading, and sorry for language, I'm Danish :-)

Forgot to mention my 10m NextGen mesh :-)

I actually crashed the Twotter because of it!

At a fairly short runway where I use/used to use some grass for takeoffs.

It wasn't so flat anymore LOL :-)

 

I nearly jumped down the chair and ripped off half my Saitek gear from the table!

Just got the A2A C172, very interesting.
Didn't knew a 172 could be so complex, just by starting it up, my jaw dropped to the floor...

it really was a good 2013 for our old friend Mr. FSX :lol:

Agreed!

 

2013 was a great year for FSX add-ons.

A good year for FSX, but a bad one for our wallets, I believe!

Honestly, I really appreciate what all the developers do, it certainly demonstrates that FSX is not at all dead (amazing for a 7-years-old piece of software), and they do a fnatastic job, but I think there were too many good addons, especially aircraft, released in too short time. I bought most of them, and have only logged a few hours in each one of them, simply because it's too much to learn (especially if you got to learn some other stuff for in real life).

[PapaRomeo 40]

Agreed...

So much to buy, so much to learn.

Too little time.

 

My credit card is glowing right now.

 

But I feel good about it, lots of quality products, good times for FSX :-)

Personally, I think the best thing about this year is that the FS add-on market is alive and well, not just FSX.

 

More devs are expanding into P3D, and although I don't use it, I've seen plenty of release announcements for XP as well.

 

Here's hoping that 2014 will prove as fruitful, especially with the announcement of P3D V2.0.

[PapaRomeo 40]

I have given some thought about P3D, just don't think its worth it yet.

Perhaps with the DX11?
