When I look at Lockheed's licensing page for Prepar3d in the web, I see red crosses where the row header says "entertainment purposes". Strictly said, because my one and only reason to use any flight Simulator at all is exactly pure and sole Entertainment, I'm not at all eligible as a legitimate customer.

 

Are there really so many P3D users here in this forum who use the sim in a "really serious way"?!

I use P3D (with PilotEdge at times) to keep my real-world IFR proceedures sharp.

 

While I may have entertained myself at times, that is the primary use for me.

This is a purely "self-selection" process. What you choose to do is strictly up to you.

 

Further discussion of your decision and/or the reasons for it however are not matters suitable for public discourse here at AVSIM.
