January 12, 201412 yr From the 2013 Demographics survey. I just thought it was interesting. ^_^ 11. Most of us own multiple simulators. But, we tend to favor one flight simulator over the others that reside on our hard drives. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most time you spend with a simulator, how do you rate your time on these sims? If you do not own one or more of these sims, leave the matrix choice empty. 1 - Least Time 2 3 4 5 - Most Time Number of Respondents Least Time 2 3 4 Most Time Microsoft FS 2002 90% (688) 3% (29) 3% (27) 1% (9) 1% (9) 762 Microsoft FS 2004 43% (653) 11% (173) 8% (125) 7% (118) 29% (445) 1514 Microsoft FSX 8% (212) 3% (90) 4% (100) 5% (137) 78% (1916) 2455 Microsoft Flight 79% (621) 8% (64) 6% (48) 1% (12) 4% (39) 784 X-Plane 9 or earlier 86% (522) 7% (48) 3% (20) 1% (12) 0% (4) 606 X-Plane 10 61% (469) 13% (102) 9% (73) 5% (44) 9% (73) 761 P3D 55% (407) 11% (83) 10% (79) 7% (57) 14% (108) 734 Flight Gear 91% (432) 6% (29) 1% (8) 0% (2) 0% (2) 473 AeroFly 87% (410) 6% (28) 3% (18) 1% (5) 1% (5) 466 Rise of Flight 79% (456) 9% (53) 6% (38) 3% (19) 1% (7) 573 FLY!

January 12, 201412 yr It looks good to me - Nook HD. But, this doesn't really mean anything. It's not a census of all users. Only Avsim members take part, and even then only a small subset of those who are aware of the poll and/or motivated enough to do so for whatever reasons. Nor is it a partcularly representative sample of users. As most people know, poll sampling is a pretty exact science that ensures respondants represent a very wide and comprehensive diversity of people. Only thus can a poll truly reflect user opinion. And even the phrasing of questions requires good knowledge of this science in order to avoid misleading responses. On the other hand, Tom's polls are a good tradition that create a sense of community and can give some indication concerning tendancies in our hobby. Plus, they are often lots of fun! Best regards. Luis Hot, humid Caribbean paradise!
January 13, 201412 yr I think a lot of us "old guys" didn't bother with surveys much. Get so many in the mail or phone all the time, I tend to let them slide. But interesting anyway. Steve
